Ziva

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Europese korthaar (kattin) Hallo, ik ben Ziva! 🐾 Een tijdje liep ik rond in de tuin van lieve mensen. Toen ik op het punt stond te bevallen, ging ik op zoek naar warmte en een veilig plekje. Mijn bevalling verliep moeilijk, maar ik ben er gelukkig doorheen gekomen. ❤️ Nieuwe mensen vind ik nog een beetje spannend. Ik kijk graag eerst even de kat uit de boom en heb wat tijd nodig om vertrouwen te krijgen. Als je me rustig en zacht benadert, mag je me aaien. 🥰 Een warme, rustige thuis waar ik op mijn eigen tempo mag wennen en openbloeien. Ik droom van mensen die geduld met me hebben en blij zijn met elk klein stapje dat ik zet. 💕 Een tuin waar ik na mijn aanpassingsperiode veilig op ontdekking kan gaan, zou ik heel fijn vinden. Met andere poezen kan ik goed overweg, maar honden en kleine kinderen passen niet bij mij. Heb jij een rustig plekje en een beetje geduld voor mij? Dan hoop ik dat ik bij jou mijn warme thuis mag vinden. 🏡💛

About Ziva

What life with Ziva looks like

Ziva is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at VZW The Lucky Stars 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 Ziva, answered.

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