How do I contact the shelter about Odette?

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 Odette on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Odette 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 Odette 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 Odette 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 Odette 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.

Odette

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Meet Odette, a sweet mother cat who was ready from day one to care for her five little miracles. With endless patience, love, and attention, she has raised her kittens with great care. She kept a close eye on everything, making sure everyone was safe and happy. Now that her kittens are growing up, Odette is giving them more and more space to explore the world on their own. Of course, she’ll always remain the ultimate mom: when the hustle and bustle become too much for her, she simply calls her brood back together for a delicious milk feeding. A true mama through and through. Odette is a curious lady who loves to go exploring—but she does need some time to adjust to new situations. She’s affectionate toward people and especially enjoys their company. She’s not much of a cuddler, but she happily lets you know she’s there with her cozy little meows. She has a very strong will of her own. But let’s face it—just a bit of extra spice never hurt anyone! Together with her son Nand, Odette is looking for a calm and loving home where she can be herself, continue blossoming at her own pace, and have her wonderful personality fully appreciated.

Maak kennis met Odette, een lieve mama poes die vanaf dag één klaarstond voor haar vijf kleine wondertjes. Met oneindig veel geduld, liefde en zorg heeft ze haar kittens grootgebracht. Ze hield alles nauwlettend in de gaten en zorgde ervoor dat iedereen veilig en gelukkig was. Nu haar kittens groter worden, geeft Odette hen steeds meer ruimte om de wereld te ontdekken. Al blijft ze natuurlijk een echte mama: wanneer de drukte haar even te veel wordt, roept ze haar kroost gewoon terug bij elkaar voor een heerlijke melkbeurt. Een topmama in hart en nieren. Odette is een nieuwsgierige dame die graag op ontdekking gaat, maar ze heeft wel even tijd nodig om zich aan te passen aan nieuwe situaties. Ze is lief naar mensen toe en geniet vooral van hun aanwezigheid. Een grote knuffelaar is ze niet, maar ze laat graag horen dat ze er is met haar gezellige miauwtjes. Ze heeft een erg sterk eigen willetje. Maar zeg nu zelf een beetje extra pit , daar is toch niets mis mee. Odette zoekt samen met Zoontje Nand een rustig en liefdevolle thuis waar ze zichzelf mag zijn, op haar eigen tempo verder kan openbloeien en waar haar mooie karakter helemaal gezien wordt.

About Odette

What life with Odette looks like

Odette is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Zwerfkat in Belgium.

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.
