Odette is a female cat, born on May 25, 2024. Unfortunately, she is no longer comfortable in her current environment. The noise from children causes her a lot of stress. So much so that she also suffered physically, resulting in a bladder infection. This was all due to the stress. Therefore, the current owner has decided with a heavy heart to find Odette a new home where she can enjoy a quiet life without constantly feeling anxious. Her owner preferred direct placement because admission to the shelter would cause her even more stress and she really wants the best for her darling. This is what she writes about Odette: Odette is a sweet, sensitive 2-year-old cat. She is easily frightened and takes some time to trust you. But once you know her, she loves to cuddle with you. She is not a lap cat at the moment, but she shows her love in her own way. Odette does not like noise and chaos. That's why I'm looking for a quiet house for her without noisy children and where she can take her time to relax. Odette is currently an indoor cat. I don't know if she would be happy with some outdoor time. A quiet and stable environment is the most important thing for her. She needs someone who understands that trust must grow and who is willing to give her that time. No hurry or expectations, but a safe place, patience, and love. Whoever gives Odette the chance to feel at home will have an incredible and special friend. Would you like to meet Odette? Then send an email and provide information about your living and living situation as well as expectations. Don't forget to include your phone number. We will then put you in touch with Odette's current owner.

Odette is een kattin, geboren op 25 mei 2024. Helaas voelt ze zich niet meer goed in haar huidige omgeving. De drukte van kindjes bezorgt haar erg veel stress. Zodanig zelfs dat ze er ook lichamelijk last van kreeg wat resulteerde in een blaasontsteking. Dit alles puur door de stress. Daarom heeft de huidige eigenares met pijn in het hart besloten om voor Odette een andere thuis te zoeken waar ze van een gerust leventje kan genieten zonder steeds angstig te moeten zijn. Haar vrouwtje gaf de voorkeur aan rechtstreekse plaatsing omdat opname in de opvang haar nog meer stress zou bezorgen en ze echt wel het beste wil voor haar lieverd. Dit is wat ze zelf schrijft over odette: Odette is een lieve, gevoelige poes van 2 jaar. Ze is snel bang en vraagt wat tijd om haar vertrouwen te schenken. Maar wanneer ze je eenmaal kent, komt ze heel graag bij je knuffelen. Een echte schootkat is ze momenteel niet maar ze toont haar liefde op haar manier. Drukte en lawaai zijn niets voor Odette. Daarom zoek ik voor haar een rustig huisje zonder lawaaierige kinderen en waar ze de tijd krijgt om tot rust te komen. Momenteel is Odette een binnenkat. Of ze gelukkig zou zijn met wat buitenloop weet ik niet. Een rustige en stabiele omgeving is voor haar het allerbelangrijkste. Ze heeft nood aan iemand die begrijpt dat vertrouwen moet groeien en die bereid is om haar die tijd te gunnen. Geen haast of verwachtingen, maar een veilige plek, geduld en liefde. Wie Odette de kans geeft om zich thuis te voelen, heeft aan haar een ontzettende lief en bijzonder maatje. Wil je graag kennismaken met Odette? Stuur dan een mailtje aan en geef alvast informatie door over jouw woon- en leefsituatie alsook verwachtingen. vergeet ook jouw telefoonnummer niet te vermelden. We brengen je dan in contact met de huidige eigenares van odette.

About Odette

What life with Odette looks like

Odette is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Het Dierenthuisje VZW in Geel.

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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺAdopting 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 Odette, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Odette?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Het Dierenthuisje VZW handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” 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 β€” Het Dierenthuisje VZW 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 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 β€” 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 β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Het Dierenthuisje VZW 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 β€” 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.
