Nila

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

Nila is ons kleine, dappere meisje. Ze werd als prematuur geboren en had het in het begin erg moeilijk. Ze dronk weinig en kwam maar in kleine beetjes bij, maar elke paar gram maakte me blij. Ze bleef volhouden, bleef groeien, al ging het traag. En kijk haar nu: een grote, sterke kitten die haar achterstand helemaal heeft ingehaald. De dierenarts dacht zelfs dat ze ouder was — zo trots staat ze in het leven. Nila is het enige meisje dat overbleef nadat haar zusje gestorven was. Ondanks dat verdriet heeft ze zich erdoorheen gevochten. Ze is zacht van karakter, maar laat zich zeker niet doen. Met haar grote broers staat ze haar mannetje, en als ze iets wil, dan weet ze dat perfect duidelijk te maken. Ze ligt ontzettend graag bij de zoon des huizes. Knuffelen, ronken, dicht tegen hem aan — dat is haar favoriete moment van de dag. En als ze niet op schoot ligt te slapen, is ze op ontdekkingstocht. Kleine openingen, spleetjes, hoekjes… Nila vindt ze allemaal. Ze speelt graag, is vrolijk en heeft een heerlijk meisjesachtig snoetje dat je meteen herkent. Onder haar zwarte vacht zit een klein vlekje op haar buik, net zoals haar grote broer. Maar haar zachte blik en lieve uitstraling maken haar uniek. En als ze het zakje natvoer hoort, is ze er sneller dan wie dan ook — dat is zonder twijfel haar favoriete traktatie. Nila is een meisje met een verhaal, een meisje met kracht, een meisje dat alles overwon. Klein begonnen, groot geworden. Een echte hartendief.

About Nila

What life with Nila looks like

Nila is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Zwerfkat in Belgium.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇧🇪Adopting from Belgium

Belgian shelters operate under regional law (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels each have their own rules). All adoptions include the Eurochip, vaccinations, and a stewardship contract. Several Flemish shelters partner with Dutch and German rescue networks.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nila, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nila?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Zwerfkat handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nila if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zwerfkat will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Nila already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nila isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Zwerfkat early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nila and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
