How do I contact the shelter about Nova?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel De Knuffelpootjes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nova on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nova if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel De Knuffelpootjes 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 Nova 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 Nova 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 Dierenasiel De Knuffelpootjes early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nova 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.

Nova

Birman · Female · Adult · 7 years

Nova & Neo - together looking for a loving home 🐾 Meet Nova and Neo, a sweet brother and sister who have been together their whole lives. ❤️ They are incredibly sweet, social and have a very special bond with each other. That's why they are of course placed together. Their current family has always taken good care of them. Unfortunately, with the arrival of a twin, there is less and less time for Nova and Neo. Not because they are less loved, on the contrary... but they deserve to receive the attention, peace and love they need again. 🥰 Nova and Neo are real sweethearts. They are used to care and let all this go very well. Brushing their teeth? No problem! Trimming their nails? Also fine! And they can even enjoy a good brushing. However, they are not cats that thrive in a lot of noise and stress. Especially the stress that small children can bring, they find difficult. When the tension becomes too high, it can happen exceptionally that one of them pees next to the litter box. This does not happen often, but it is important that their future home takes this into account. A quiet, stable environment without small children would therefore be ideal for this sweet duo. Nova and Neo are also not used to going outside. They are therefore only placed as house cats. A safe, quiet home where they can enjoy their people together is exactly what we are looking for for them. ❤️ They have each other their whole lives and are each other's trusted support. We absolutely do not want to tear them apart. They may look for a new home together where they can enjoy attention, cuddles and the care they know so well. Two sweet cats, an inseparable bond and still a lot of love to give. ❤️ Who gives Nova and Neo together the quiet and loving home they deserve? 🐾 If you are interested, please fill in the form:

🐾 Nova & Neo – samen op zoek naar een liefdevol thuis 🐾 Maak kennis met Nova en Neo, een lieve broer en zus die al hun hele leven samen zijn. ❤️ Ze zijn ontzettend lief, sociaal en hebben een heel bijzondere band met elkaar. Daarom worden ze uiteraard samen geplaatst. Hun huidige gezin heeft altijd goed voor hen gezorgd. Helaas is er door de komst van een tweeling steeds minder tijd over voor Nova en Neo. Niet omdat ze minder geliefd zijn, integendeel… maar ze verdienen het om opnieuw de aandacht, rust en liefde te krijgen die ze nodig hebben. 🥰 Nova en Neo zijn echte lieverds. Ze zijn gewend aan verzorging en laten dit allemaal heel fijn toe. Hun tandjes poetsen? Geen probleem! Nageltjes knippen? Ook prima! En van een goede borstelbeurt kunnen ze zelfs genieten. Ze zijn echter geen katten die goed gedijen in veel drukte en stress. Vooral de stress die kleine kinderen met zich mee kunnen brengen, vinden ze moeilijk. Wanneer de spanning te hoog oploopt, kan het uitzonderlijk gebeuren dat één van hen eens naast de kattenbak plast. Dit gebeurt niet vaak, maar het is wel belangrijk dat hun toekomstige thuis hier rekening mee houdt. Een rustige, stabiele omgeving zonder kleine kinderen zou daarom ideaal zijn voor dit lieve duo. Nova en Neo zijn bovendien niet gewend om buiten te komen. Ze worden daarom uitsluitend geplaatst als huiskatten. Een veilige, rustige thuis waar ze samen kunnen genieten van hun mensen is precies wat we voor hen zoeken. ❤️ Ze hebben elkaar al hun hele leven en zijn elkaars vertrouwde steun. We willen hen dan ook absoluut niet uit elkaar halen. Ze mogen samen op zoek naar een nieuw thuis waar ze opnieuw volop mogen genieten van aandacht, knuffels en de verzorging die ze zo goed kennen. Twee lieve katten, één onafscheidelijke band en nog heel veel liefde om te geven. ❤️ Wie geeft Nova en Neo samen de rustige en liefdevolle thuis die ze verdienen? 🐾 Bij interesse gelieve het formulier in te vullen:

About Nova

What life with Nova looks like

Nova is a small adult birman cat waiting at Dierenasiel De Knuffelpootjes in Menen.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇧🇪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.
