OREO (in België)

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 8 months

I am Oreo, a 6-month-old white Cypriot cat. I was found in Spain, and at that time I was very shy. The world was quite scary for me, and trusting people didn't come naturally. I spent some time in the shelter, but I've been living with a Belgian foster family for a while now. They put a lot of love and time into me, and it's starting to pay off. I'm slowly thawing and showing my sweet side more and more. Things are going in the right direction for me. I'm not yet the confident little cat I can become, but I'm clearly on my way. What I need is someone who understands that process and takes the time and patience for it. They also think a playmate would be good for me. Alone is lonely, after all. I will definitely need time to adjust to a new home, just like I had to do with my foster family. New smells, new people, and a new environment are quite exciting for me, maybe even a bit overwhelming.

Ik ben Oreo, een wit cypers katertje van 6 maanden oud (geschat). Ik ben in Spanje gevonden, en toen was ik nog erg schuw. De wereld was best eng voor mij, en mensen vertrouwen kwam niet vanzelf. Ik heb eerst een tijdje in het asiel gezeten, maar zit inmiddels al even in een Belgisch gastgezin. Zij stoppen heel veel liefde en tijd in mij, en dat begint zijn vruchten af te werpen. Ik ontdooi langzaam en laat me steeds vaker van mijn lieve kant zien. Het gaat dus de goede kant op met mij. Ik ben nog niet helemaal het zelfverzekerde katertje dat ik ooit kan worden, maar ik ben duidelijk op weg. Wat ik nodig heb is iemand die dat proces begrijpt en er de tijd en rust voor neemt. Ook denken ze dat een speelmaatje goed voor mij zou zijn. Alleen is maar alleen toch? Ik zal in een nieuw thuis dus zeker weer de tijd nodig hebben om te wennen, net zoals ik dat bij mijn gastgezin heb moeten doen. Nieuwe geuren, nieuwe mensen en een nieuwe omgeving zijn best spannend voor mij, misschien wel wat me

Frequently asked

Adopting OREO (in België), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about OREO (in België)?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw OREO (in België) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt OREO (in België) if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa whether they will for OREO (in België), what they require (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 OREO (in België) already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for OREO (in België). The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if OREO (in België) isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know OREO (in België) 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.
