Stella & Penny

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Kitten · 5 months

We were found on a hay loft. We weren't used to people and to be honest, we found them pretty exciting at first. We were quite wild, but luckily we got the chance to discover that people might not be so scary after all. ❤️ I'm Stella, the patchwork sister. I'm starting to come out of my shell. Very cautiously, I dare to purr when someone is around. A small step for some, but for me, a whole victory! My sister Penny needs a bit more time. She prefers to keep an eye on things for now. 😉 We're looking for a warm, quiet home with people who have patience and understanding. Give us the time and space to continue socializing and to learn to trust at our own pace. We really came from far away, but with a little love, patience, and a lot of understanding, we can also blossom completely. 🌸 We are spayed, chipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and flea-treated.

We werden gevonden op een hooizolder. Mensen waren we niet gewend en eerlijk gezegd vonden we hen in het begin best wel spannend. We waren behoorlijk verwilderd, maar gelukkig kregen we toch de kans om te ontdekken dat mensen misschien helemaal niet zo eng zijn. ❤️ Ik ben Stella, het lapjeszusje. Ik begin stilaan goed los te komen. Heel voorzichtig durf ik al eens te spinnen wanneer iemand in mijn buurt is. Een kleine stap voor sommigen, maar voor mij een hele overwinning! Mijn zusje Penny heeft nog wat meer tijd nodig. Zij kijkt voorlopig liever nog even de kat uit de boom. 😉 We zoeken samen een warme, rustige thuis bij mensen met geduld en begrip. Geef ons de tijd en ruimte om verder te socialiseren en op ons eigen tempo vertrouwen te leren krijgen. We komen echt van ver, maar met een beetje liefde, geduld en veel begrip kunnen ook wij nog helemaal openbloeien. 🌸 Wij zijn steriel, gechipt, gevaccineerd, ontwormd en ontvlooid.

About Stella & Penny

What life with Stella & Penny looks like

Stella & Penny is a small kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Dierenasiel Ninove in Ninove.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇧🇪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 Stella & Penny, answered.

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