Simba

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Simba is een stoere kater met een groot hart. Hij is een echte mensenvriend en dol op aandacht, knuffels en gezelschap. Zodra je bij hem bent, komt hij gezellig bij je liggen en laat hij zich graag verwennen. Simba is wel dominant naar andere katten en wil graag de enige koning in huis zijn. Hij zoekt dus een thuis waar geen andere katten aanwezig zijn. Wat hij wél heel graag wil? Een veilige tuin waar hij kan rondsnuffelen, vogeltjes kijken en lekker van het zonnetje kan genieten. Ben jij op zoek naar één lieve kater die alle aandacht voor zich alleen mag? Kom dan snel kennis maken met onze Simba! Marijke

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a large adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Schoten in Schoten.

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 Simba, answered.

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