Sarina Is Looking for a Safe Release Site Sarina is a feral and very shy cat who is in need of a suitable release site. She keeps her distance from people and does not seek cuddles or attention, but she deserves a safe place where she can live. For Sarina, we are looking for a location where food and fresh drinking water are available every day and where she has access to a dry, sheltered hiding place. A quiet setting, such as a farm, horse stable, riding school, business premises, or a spacious garden, would be ideal. Sarina can adjust to her surroundings at her own pace, without any expectation of direct contact. Above all, she needs safety, peace, and people who are willing to provide her basic care. Could you give Sarina a safe place where she can live her own life undisturbed? Please get in touch with us. If you are interested, kindly fill in the form:

Sarina zoekt een veilige uitzetplaats Sarina is een niet-tamme en zeer schuwe kat die op zoek is naar een geschikte uitzetplaats. Ze houdt afstand van mensen en zoekt geen knuffels of aandacht, maar verdient wel een veilige plek waar ze kan leven. Voor Sarina zoeken we een locatie waar dagelijks eten en vers drinkwater beschikbaar zijn en waar ze toegang heeft tot een droge, beschutte schuilplaats. Een rustige omgeving, zoals een boerderij, paardenstal, manege, bedrijfsterrein of ruime tuin, zou ideaal zijn. Sarina kan op haar eigen tempo wennen aan haar omgeving, zonder verwachtingen van direct contact. Ze heeft vooral behoefte aan veiligheid, rust en mensen die haar basisverzorging willen bieden. Kun jij Sarina een veilige plek geven waar ze ongestoord haar eigen leven kan leiden? Neem dan contact met ons op. Bij interesse gelieve het formulier in te vullen:

About Sarina

What life with Sarina looks like

Sarina 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 Sarina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sarina?: 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 Sarina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sarina 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sarina 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 Sarina 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 Sarina 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.
