How do I contact the shelter about Taro?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Missie Miauw vzw handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Taro on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Taro if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Missie Miauw vzw 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 Taro 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 Taro 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 Missie Miauw vzw early rather than rehoming privately; they know Taro 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.

Taro

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Filou & Taro – two little hearts that complement each other perfectly ❤️ Filou and Taro are brother and sister, two beautiful kittens with a very special story. They were abandoned at the fence of a holiday park in Lommel. Two little souls who didn't belong there at all... Luckily, they were rescued in time and given the chance to discover how wonderful life can be when you receive love, attention, and security. And what have they grown into? Two lovely characters! 🥰 Filou is the little sister and is a real daredevil. She is fearless and doesn't back down from anything. Filou is extremely social, playful, and curious about everything that moves. She loves to play so much that she even dares to challenge an adult cat that is 19 times bigger than herself. 😂 And when Filou has had enough of her adventures? She just snuggles up in your neck. She seeks contact and enjoys attention to the fullest. A lovely, confident girl with a big heart in a small body. ❤️ Taro is quieter than his sister, but just as special. At first, he was quite shy, but he has blossomed beautifully! He has a very soft and loving character and is extremely curious about his surroundings. Picking him up is still a step too far for him - and of course, we respect that. But in the meantime, he is increasingly seeking contact himself. He loves to lie on your feet. 🥹 That little trust he is giving more and more is just beautiful to see. Filou and Taro are different, but that's exactly why they fit so well together. While Filou goes headfirst into the world, Taro first takes a quiet look at the cat from the tree. She brings the joy and adventure, he brings the softness and peace. Two different characters, but together one beautiful duo. ❤️ We wish Filou and Taro a loving home where they can stay together. A place where Filou can be her playful, social self and where Taro can have all the time he needs to come out of his shell. Whoever opens their heart to these two will get not one, but two little treasures. 🐾🐾❤️

🐾 Filou & Taro – twee kleine hartjes die elkaar perfect aanvullen ❤️Filou en Taro zijn broer en zus, twee prachtige kittens die samen een heel bijzonder verhaal hebben.Ze werden gedumpt aan de omheining van een vakantiepark in Lommel. Twee kleine hummeltjes die daar helemaal niet hoorden te zijn… Gelukkig kwamen ze op tijd in veiligheid en kregen ze de kans om te ontdekken hoe fijn het leven kan zijn wanneer je liefde, aandacht en geborgenheid krijgt.En wat zijn ze uitgegroeid tot twee heerlijke karaktertjes! 🥰Filou is het zusje en is een echte haantje-de-voorste. Zij is een kleine durfal die nergens voor terugdeinst. Filou is ontzettend sociaal, speels en nieuwsgierig naar alles wat beweegt. Ze speelt zó graag dat ze zelfs een volwassen kat durft uit te dagen die met gemak 19 keer groter is dan zijzelf. 😂En als Filou even genoeg heeft van haar avonturen? Dan kruipt ze gewoon gezellig in je nek. Ze zoekt graag contact en geniet volop van aandacht. Een heerlijk, zelfverzekerd meisje met een groot hart in een klein lijfje. ❤️Taro is wat rustiger dan zijn zusje, maar minstens zo bijzonder. In het begin was hij behoorlijk schuchter, maar wat is hij prachtig opengebloeid! Hij heeft een heel zacht en lief karakter en is ontzettend nieuwsgierig naar zijn omgeving.Oppakken vindt hij voorlopig nog een stapje te ver — en dat respecteren we natuurlijk. Maar ondertussen zoekt hij steeds meer zelf contact. Zo komt hij heerlijk op je voeten liggen. 🥹 Dat kleine vertrouwen dat hij steeds meer geeft, is juist zo mooi om te zien.Filou en Taro zijn verschillend, maar juist daarom passen ze zo ontzettend goed bij elkaar.Waar Filou met haar neusje voorop de wereld tegemoet gaat, kijkt Taro eerst rustig de kat uit de boom. Zij brengt de vrolijkheid en het avontuur, hij de zachtheid en de rust.Twee verschillende karaktertjes, maar samen één prachtig duo. ❤️We gunnen Filou en Taro daarom een liefdevol thuis waar ze samen mogen blijven. Een plek waar Filou haar speelse, sociale zelf mag zijn en waar Taro alle tijd krijgt om verder uit zijn schulp te kruipen.Wie deze twee in zijn hart sluit, krijgt er niet één, maar twee kleine schatten bij. 🐾🐾❤️

About Taro

What life with Taro looks like

Taro is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Missie Miauw vzw in Belgium.

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.
