Tarmac

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

🐾 Tarmac🐾 Knuffelkat: Yes, Breed: house cat Gender: male Children: yes, from age 10 Access to outdoors: yes Other cats: yes Other animals: not known Affectionate: yes Meet Tarmac! Tarmac came to us after being found on the tarmac at the airport. Yes, we are creative with our names :) ! When he was in our quarantine, he was a bit grumpy and preferred to be left alone. But when he moved to our large cat room, he became the biggest knuffel (hug) cat there! He demands all the attention and nothing makes him happier than lying on your lap. The other cats also find him very likable. We are therefore looking for a home for him where there is already a cat present, or an adoption with one of his friends here is also an option. Tarmac must also have access to the outdoors in his new home. Type of animal: Cat Gender: Male Age:

🐾 Tarmac🐾 Knuffelkat: Ja Ras: huiskat Geslacht: kater Kinderen: ja, vanaf 10jaar Toegang tot buiten: ja Andere katten: Ja Andere dieren: Niet geweten Zindelijk: JA Meet Tarmac! Tarmac kwam bij ons terecht na dat hij gevonden werd op de tarmac aan de luchthaven. Jaja, we zijn vindingrijk met onze namen :) ! Toen hij in onze quarantaine verbleef was hij een beetje grumpy en had hij liever geen mensen in de buurt. Wanneer hij naar onze grote kattenkamer mocht verhuizen veranderde hij in de grootste knuffelaar die er is! Hij eist alle aandacht op en doet niets liever dan op je schoot liggen. Ook de andere katten vind hij heel leuk. We zoeken voor hem dus ook een thuis waar al een kat aanwezig is, of een adoptie met een van zijn vriendjes hier is ook een optie. Tarmac moet in zijn nieuwe thuis ook zeker nar buiten kunnen. Soort dier: Kat Geslacht: Mannelijk Leeftijd: 01/05/2025

About Tarmac

What life with Tarmac looks like

Tarmac is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Pootjesparadijs Dierenopvangcentrum Zemst in Belgium.

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 Tarmac, answered.

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