How do I contact the shelter about Pia?

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

Can I adopt Pia if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel Sint-Truiden 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 Pia 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 Pia 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 Sint-Truiden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Pia 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.

Pia

Mixed Breed · Female

Pia came to us as a stray, along with her son Pluto. Pluto has since found his own warm home and now it's time for mom Pia to search for her golden bed. Despite being a stray, it's clear Pia is used to people and enjoys their company. Character Pia is a social and sweet cat who enjoys interacting with people. She can live well with children and could also live with other cats, provided a calm and proper introduction. Pia is sensitive to stress, making a calm environment important for her. Care Pia has a small medical backpack. She was diagnosed with heart murmurs and after a cardiologist's examination, it was found that she needs medication twice a day. It's important that her heart is monitored by a cardiologist annually. With the right medication and monitoring, Pia can enjoy a happy cat life. Placement We are looking for a quiet, loving home for Pia where she doesn't experience too much stress. Dogs and small, active children are therefore not a good match. Older or quiet children can be a good fit. A friendly other cat is possible after a good introduction. Since we don't know much about her life before she came to us, we think it's important for Pia to be able to safely go outside after a quiet acclimation period. We hope to find a home for this sweet lady where she gets the attention, peace, and care she deserves. Only in Belgium

AchtergrondPia kwam bij ons binnen als vondeling, samen met haar zoon Pluto. Pluto heeft ondertussen zijn eigen warme thuis gevonden en nu is het ook tijd voor mama Pia om op zoek te gaan naar haar gouden mandje. Ondanks het feit dat ze als vondeling bij ons terechtkwam, is het duidelijk dat Pia mensen gewend is en zich graag in hun gezelschap bevindt.KarakterPia is een sociale en lieve poes die graag contact zoekt met mensen. Ze kan prima met kinderen samenleven en ook met andere katten zou ze eventueel kunnen, mits een rustige en correcte introductie. Pia is wel gevoelig voor stress, waardoor een rustige omgeving belangrijk voor haar is.VerzorgingPia heeft een klein medisch rugzakje. Er werd bij haar hartruis vastgesteld en na onderzoek bij een cardioloog bleek dat ze hiervoor tweemaal per dag medicatie nodig heeft. Het is belangrijk dat haar hart jaarlijks door een cardioloog wordt opgevolgd. Met de juiste medicatie en opvolging kan Pia genieten van een fijn kattenleven.PlaatsingVoor Pia zoeken we een rustige, liefdevolle thuis waar ze niet te veel stress ervaart. Honden en kleine, drukke kinderen zijn daarom geen goede match. Oudere of rustige kinderen kunnen wel. Een vriendelijke andere kat is eventueel mogelijk na een goede introductie. Omdat we niet veel weten over haar leven vóór ze bij ons kwam, vinden we het belangrijk dat Pia na een rustige wenperiode ook veilig naar buiten kan. We hopen voor deze lieve dame een thuis te vinden waar ze de aandacht, rust en zorg krijgt die ze verdient. Enkel in België

About Pia

What life with Pia looks like

Pia is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenasiel Sint-Truiden in Sint-Truiden.

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.
