Zuma

European Shorthair Β· Female Β· Young Β· 2 years

Europese korthaar (kattin) Hallo, ik ben Zuma! 🐾❀️ Mijn verhaal had heel anders kunnen aflopen… Ik werd gevonden nadat ik vergiftigd was en ben echt op het nippertje gered. Gelukkig kreeg ik de hulp die ik nodig had en kreeg ik nog een kans. Nu wil ik vooral vooruitkijken en ontdekken hoe mooi mijn leventje nog kan worden. πŸ€ Ik ben een heel rustige dame en sociaal naar mensen toe, al heb ik even tijd nodig om nieuwe mensen te leren kennen. Ik bekijk alles graag eerst op mijn gemak en bepaal zelf wanneer ik klaar ben om dichterbij te komen. Geef je mij die tijd en forceer je niets? Dan zal je merken dat ik steeds meer vertrouwen krijg en mijn lieve kant helemaal durf te laten zien. ❀️ Na alles wat ik heb meegemaakt, droom ik vooral van een veilige en rustige thuis. Een plekje waar ik niet voortdurend overspoeld word door drukte en waar ik gewoon op mijn eigen tempo mag genieten van het leven. En weet je wat mij daarbij zou helpen? Een rustig poezenvriendje. 🐱 Een maatje in huis waarbij ik mij veilig kan voelen en waarmee ik samen kan genieten van de kleine dingen. Over honden en kinderen kunnen we voorlopig nog niet zeggen hoe ik zal reageren. Mijn ideale thuis wordt daarom vooral gezocht op basis van rust, geduld en een omgeving waarin ik mij veilig kan voelen. Ik kreeg op het nippertje een tweede kans op het leven. Nu hoop ik dat iemand mij ook die tweede kans op een eigen thuis wil geven. 🏑❀️🐾 Ik verblijf momenteel in een opvanggezin. Wil je graag meer over mij weten of kennismaken? Neem dan rechtstreeks contact op via:

About Zuma

What life with Zuma looks like

Zuma 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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺAdopting 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 Zuma, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zuma?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. VZW The Lucky Stars handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zuma on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zuma if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Zuma 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Zuma isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with VZW The Lucky Stars early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zuma 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 β€” 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.
