Sally

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Sally is a shy and sensitive kitten who finds the world very exciting. She needs a lot of time, calmness and patience to feel safe and build trust. For Sally we are looking for a quiet home where nothing is expected from her and where she can get used to things at her own pace. She will not immediately seek contact, but with a gentle and understanding approach she can make progress step by step. We cannot guarantee that Sally will become completely tame, but with the right person she can feel more and more comfortable. Do you have the patience and warm heart to give Sally this chance? Then you give her the opportunity for a life in which she feels safe and secure 💛 If you are interested, please fill in the form:

Sally is een bang en gevoelig katje dat de wereld nog erg spannend vindt. Ze heeft veel tijd, rust en geduld nodig om zich veilig te voelen en vertrouwen op te bouwen. Voor Sally zoeken we een rustige thuis waar niets van haar verwacht wordt en waar ze op haar eigen tempo mag wennen. Ze zal niet meteen toenadering zoeken, maar met een zachte en begripvolle aanpak kan ze stap voor stap vooruitgang maken. We kunnen niet met zekerheid zeggen dat Sally volledig tam zal worden, maar met de juiste persoon kan ze zich wel steeds meer op haar gemak gaan voelen. Heb jij het geduld en het warme hart om Sally deze kans te geven? Dan geef je haar de mogelijkheid op een leven waarin ze zich veilig en geborgen voelt 💛 Bij interesse gelieve het formulier in te vullen:

About Sally

What life with Sally looks like

Sally is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel De Knuffelpootjes in Menen.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sally, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sally?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel De Knuffelpootjes handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sally on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sally if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel De Knuffelpootjes 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 Sally 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 Sally 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 De Knuffelpootjes early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sally 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.
