Zola

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

Zola and Lyra, four paws on one belly Zola and Lyra are two sweet kitten sisters and true buddies. Together they run through the house, chase toys and come up with new mischief every day. If one is out of sight? It never takes long before the other finds her again. After all that playing it's time to rest. Sometimes they snuggle up close, as if they form one warm little cat ball. They are really four paws on one belly. Both sisters enjoy soft pets in their own moments, but they don't like being picked up. Especially Zola likes to keep all four paws on the ground. Still, she calmly comes to you and lies comfortably next to you on the couch. Lyra likes attention a bit more. She likes to come and check on you for a pet or some cuddles, but then she also pulls her own plan. So Zola and Lyra each have their own character, but one thing is certain: where one sister is, the other is never far away.

Zola en Lyra, vier pootjes op één buik Zola en Lyra zijn twee lieve kittenzusjes en echte maatjes. Samen rennen ze door het huis, jagen ze achter speeltjes aan en bedenken ze iedere dag nieuwe kattenkwaadjes. Is de één even uit het zicht? Dan duurt het nooit lang voordat de ander haar weer opzoekt. Na al dat spelen is het tijd om uit te rusten. Soms kruipen ze dicht tegen elkaar aan, alsof ze samen één warm kattenbolletje vormen. Ze zijn dan ook echt vier pootjes op één buik. Beide zusjes genieten op hun eigen moment van zachte aaitjes, maar opgepakt worden vinden ze minder fijn. Vooral Zola houdt graag alle vier haar pootjes op de grond. Toch zoekt ze je rustig op en komt ze gezellig naast je liggen op de bank. Lyra houdt nét iets meer van aandacht. Ze komt graag even bij je kijken voor een aai of wat gezelligheid, maar daarna trekt ook zij weer haar eigen plan. Zo hebben Zola en Lyra ieder hun eigen karakter, maar één ding is zeker: waar het ene zusje is, is het andere nooit ver weg.

About Zola

What life with Zola looks like

Zola is a 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zola, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zola?
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 Zola on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zola 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 Zola 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 Zola 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 Zola 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.
