Nova

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

Hi there, I'm Nova! I'm a sweet and playful kitten with a wonderfully curious personality, and I'm not just saying that! I love playing and can entertain myself with anything and everything, whether it's a ball, a feather, or a bell. I can get lost in it! With new people, I can be a bit hesitant at first, but with a little time and some tasty cat treats, that's all fine. My sisters are my big example and my favorite playmates. Together, we can have a great time, chasing each other and then resting. That's why I would really like to go to a home where there's already another kitten, so I can become best friends. A playmate is a must for me! And after all that playing, it's time for lots of cuddles, then I like to snuggle up close to you and enjoy the attention before I fall asleep... So if you're looking for an active playful kitten, who is a bit hesitant at first but then becomes your best friend, then I'm your match! See you soon!

Hoi hoi, ik ben Nova! Ik ben een lief en speels katje met een heerlijk nieuwsgierig karaktertje, al zeg ik het zelf! Ik ben dol op spelen en kan me met van alles en nog wat amuseren, speelballetjes, een veertje, belletjes, ik kan ermee weg! Bij nieuwe mensen kan ik in het begin nog een beetje afwachtend zijn , maar met een beetje tijd en lekkere kattensnoepjes komt dat helemaal goed. Mijn zusjes zijn mijn grote voorbeeld en mijn favoriete speelmaatjes. Samen kunnen we heerlijk ravotten, achter elkaar aanrennen en daarna lekker uitrusten. Daarom zou ik heel graag naar een thuis gaan waar al een ander katje woont, waar ik dan beste vrienden mee kan worden. Een speelmaatje is dus een must voor mij! En na al dat spelen is het tijd voor veel knuffels, dan kruip ik graag gezellig dicht bij je aan en kan ik heerlijk genieten van de aandacht alvorens ik in slaap val…. Dus zoek je een actief speels katje, dat eerst even afwachtend is maar dan je beste vriend wordt, dan ben ik je maatje! Tot snel!

About Nova

What life with Nova looks like

Nova is a 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 Nova, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nova?: 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 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 — 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Zwerfkat 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.
