Taco

Mixed Breed Β· Female Β· Kitten

🐾 Hello, I'm Taco! 🐾 I'm a sweet black-and-white kitten of about 4 months old. πŸ–€πŸ€ Like every kitten, I have a few big passions in life: good food, finding the softest sleeping spots, and sitting by the window for hours to observe the world. πŸ‘€ There's always something fascinating going on outside! Birds, leaves blowing past, people out for a walk... I don't miss a single detail. I also love to play. A ball rolling by or a fun toy that moves? Then I'm immediately in! 🎾 I'm still a bit of a cautious girl by nature, but I've gathered quite a lot of courage by now. 😊 Where I used to prefer running away when someone came near me, I now more and more often just stay lying there. I really enjoy being close to my people, and I often come and lie nearby to watch with great interest what they're up to. Being petted is still a small surprise moment for me. Then I need a moment to realize what's happening. But as soon as I discover how lovely those scratches actually feel, my little motor starts purring in no time. ❀️ I clearly enjoy it, and I like to stretch out long and comfortable, as if to say: okay, this can go on for a while longer! 😻 Being picked up and cuddled at length still feels a bit scary for now. I like to decide for myself the pace at which I discover new things. That's why I'm looking for a calm and loving home with people who are willing to give me that time. With a little patience and gentleness, my trust grows a little more each day. My ideal home? One where a young, social kitten under one year old already lives. A playmate sounds fantastic! Playing together, romping around and napping, but also discovering together that people are actually pretty nice. I can learn a lot from a cat friend. πŸ±πŸ’• Are you someone with a bit of patience, a big heart and a soft spot to spare? Then I might come and lie curiously near you soon. And who knows, maybe I'll soon let my motor purr for you too. πŸ₯° Love, Taco πŸΎπŸ–€πŸ€ Interested in adopting me? Then quickly fill in this short questionnaire! NOTE: We may not reply immediately, but we always do! Be sure to check your spam folder too!

🐾 Hallo, ik ben Taco! 🐾 Ik ben een lief wit-zwart kattinnetje van ongeveer 4 maanden oud. πŸ–€πŸ€ Zoals elke kitten heb ik een aantal grote passies in het leven: lekker eten, de zachtste slaapplekjes uitzoeken en urenlang aan het raam zitten om de wereld te observeren. πŸ‘€ Er gebeurt buiten namelijk altijd wel iets boeiends! Vogeltjes, bladeren die voorbijwaaien, mensen die wandelen… ik mis geen enkel detail. Daarnaast speel ik ook heel graag. Een balletje dat voorbij rolt of een leuk speeltje dat beweegt? Dan ben ik meteen van de partij! 🎾 Ik ben van nature nog een voorzichtig meisje, maar ik heb ondertussen al heel wat moed verzameld. 😊 Waar ik vroeger liever wegliep als iemand in mijn buurt kwam, blijf ik nu steeds vaker gewoon lekker liggen. Ik vind het namelijk heel fijn om dicht bij mijn mensen te zijn en kom vaak gezellig in de buurt liggen om met veel interesse te kijken naar wat ze allemaal aan het doen zijn. Aaien is soms nog een klein verrassingsmomentje voor mij. Dan moet ik even beseffen wat er gebeurt. Maar zodra ik ontdek hoe fijn die kriebels eigenlijk zijn, begint mijn motortje al snel te ronken. ❀️ Ik geniet er dan zichtbaar van en maak me graag helemaal lang en comfortabel, alsof ik wil zeggen: okΓ©, dit mag nog wel even doorgaan! 😻 Oppakken en uitgebreid knuffelen vind ik voorlopig nog wat spannend. Ik bepaal graag zelf het tempo waarin ik nieuwe dingen ontdek. Daarom zoek ik een rustig en liefdevol thuis met mensen die me die tijd willen geven. Met een beetje geduld en zachtheid groeit mijn vertrouwen elke dag verder. Mijn ideale thuis? Dat is een huisje waar al een jong, sociaal katje jonger dan één jaar woont. Een speelkameraadje lijkt me fantastisch! Samen spelen, ravotten en dutjes doen, maar ook samen ontdekken dat mensen eigenlijk best leuk zijn. Van een kattenvriendje kan ik heel wat leren. πŸ±πŸ’• Ben jij iemand met een beetje geduld, een groot hart en een zacht plekje vrij? Dan kom ik misschien binnenkort wel nieuwsgierig bij jou in de buurt liggen. En wie weet laat ik mijn motortje dan ook snel voor jou ronken. πŸ₯° Liefs, Taco πŸΎπŸ–€πŸ€ Interesse om mij te adopteren? Vul dan snel deze korte vragenlijst in! OPGELET: Wij antwoorden misschien niet onmiddellijk, maar wel altijd! Check zeker ook je spam!

About Taco

What life with Taco looks like

Taco is a large kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Zwerfpoezen Rupelstreek in PUURS-SINT-AMANDS.

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 is usually done around six months, so ask the shelter whether it has been arranged.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺAdopting 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 Taco, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Taco?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Zwerfpoezen Rupelstreek handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Taco on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Taco if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Zwerfpoezen Rupelstreek whether they will for Taco, what they require (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 Taco already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Taco. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Zwerfpoezen Rupelstreek, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Taco isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Zwerfpoezen Rupelstreek about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Taco 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 β€” 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.
