How do I contact the shelter about Ola?

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

Can I adopt Ola if I live in another country?

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

Ola

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Ola is looking for someone who will give her the time to blossom 🐾 Ola is a beautiful striped kitten who came to us at the age of about 3 to 4 months together with her brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, it seems that she has had little positive contact with people during her first months of life. Those first months are an important period in which kittens learn that people can be safe and trustworthy. For Ola, this means that she still has a long way to go. She finds new people and situations exciting and does not trust easily. We are not looking for a home for her where it is expected that she will lie on someone's lap from day one. Ola needs time, patience and a calm approach. Someone who does not impose anything on her, lets her discover at her own pace and also appreciates the small steps forward. ❤️ What can help her enormously is the presence of a social and playful companion. A self-confident cat can show her that people are not so scary and give Ola the chance to observe positive behavior and adopt it. Behind that cautious kitten is still so much potential. We hope to find someone who not only looks at how Ola is today, but especially at the cat she can still become with enough time and trust. 🐱💛 Who wants to give Ola that chance?

🐾 Ola zoekt iemand die haar de tijd geeft om open te bloeien 🐾 Ola is een prachtig getijgerd kattinnetje dat samen met haar broertjes en zusje op een leeftijd van ongeveer 3 à 4 maanden bij ons terechtkwam. Helaas lijkt het erop dat zij tijdens haar eerste levensmaanden maar weinig positief contact met mensen heeft gekend. Net die eerste maanden zijn een belangrijke periode waarin kittens leren dat mensen veilig en vertrouwd kunnen zijn. Voor Ola betekent dit dat ze nog een hele weg te gaan heeft. Nieuwe mensen en situaties vindt ze spannend en vertrouwen geven doet ze niet zomaar. We zoeken voor haar dan ook geen thuis waar verwacht wordt dat ze vanaf dag één op schoot komt liggen. Ola heeft vooral tijd, geduld en een rustige aanpak nodig. Iemand die haar niets oplegt, haar op haar eigen tempo laat ontdekken en ook de kleine stapjes vooruit weet te waarderen. ❤️ Wat haar daarbij enorm kan helpen, is de aanwezigheid van een sociale en speelse soortgenoot. Een zelfzekere kat kan haar tonen dat mensen helemaal niet zo eng zijn en Ola de kans geven om positief gedrag te observeren en over te nemen. Achter dat voorzichtige kattinnetje zit nog zoveel potentieel. We hopen dan ook iemand te vinden die niet alleen kijkt naar hoe Ola vandaag is, maar vooral naar de kat die ze met voldoende tijd en vertrouwen nog kan worden. 🐱💛 Wie wil Ola die kans geven?

About Ola

What life with Ola looks like

Ola is a small puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Ganzeweide in Veurne.

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.
