How do I contact the shelter about Umbra?

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

Can I adopt Umbra if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Zwerfkat 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 Umbra 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 Umbra 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 Zwerfkat early rather than rehoming privately; they know Umbra 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.

Umbra

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

I am Umbra! On June 21, I was born along with my four brothers and sister. Mother cat Kathy is a real supermom and made sure we all grew well. In the meantime, we have grown into five happy fluffy balls that play, romp and of course also pull a few pranks. I am the sister of three tough brothers: Raven, Robin and Bagheera. And although they may think they are doing a lot... I'm not just being done! I may be a bit smaller, but small and brave, that's for sure. If my brothers think they can just knock me over while playing, they are wrong! But behind my brave face is also a very sweet girl. I love attention and enjoy it when you come to cuddle me. And of course I love my sister Ink and my three brothers. Playing together is just more fun than alone! That's why I would love to go to my golden nest with one of them. With Raven, Robin, Bagheera or my sister Ink I would be very happy. A playmate to play pranks and then snuggle up against... I sign for it right away! Sweet, playful, loves cuddles and small but brave. That's me, Umbra! Who has a place for this little girl with a big character?

Hoi, ik ben Umbra! Op 21 juni werd ik samen met mijn vier broertjes en zusje geboren. Mamapoes Kathy is een echte supermama en zorgde ervoor dat we allemaal goed konden groeien. Ondertussen zijn we uitgegroeid tot vijf vrolijke pluizebolletjes die volop spelen, ravotten en natuurlijk ook al eens een deugnietenstreek uithalen. Ik ben het zusje van drie stoere broers: Raven, Robin en Bagheera. En hoewel zij misschien denken dat ze heel wat voorstellen… laat ik me echt niet zomaar doen! Ik ben misschien wat kleiner, maar klein en dapper, dát ben ik zeker. Als mijn broers denken dat ze mij zomaar kunnen omverlopen tijdens het spelen, hebben ze het mis! Maar achter mijn dappere snoetje zit ook een heel lief meisje. Ik hou van aandacht en geniet ervan als je me lekker komt knuffelen. En natuurlijk ben ik dol op mijn zusje Ink en mijn drie broertjes. Samen spelen is gewoon veel leuker dan alleen! Daarom zou ik het heel fijn vinden om samen met één van hen naar mijn gouden mandje te mogen. Met Raven, Robin, Bagheera of mijn zusje Ink zou ik heel gelukkig zijn. Een maatje om mee te spelen, kattenkwaad uit te halen en daarna lekker tegenaan te kruipen… daar teken ik meteen voor! Lief, speels, dol op knuffelen én klein maar dapper. Dat ben ik, Umbra! Wie heeft er een plekje voor dit kleine meisje met een groot karakter?

About Umbra

What life with Umbra looks like

Umbra is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Zwerfkat 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.
