A couple of passionate cat lovers from Kessel-Lo, Leuven, has transformed the display window of their former shop to raise awareness about cat fostering. Their initiative highlights the urgent need for more foster families to support local cat rescue efforts.
- Koppel vraagt aandacht voor kattenopvang
- Vroegere handelszaak wordt infopunt
- Koen en Karen vangen tijdelijk katten
- Cattitude zoekt meer opvanggezinnen
- Uitstalraam helpt opvanggezinnen aantrekken
Koen and Karen currently provide temporary care for cats on behalf of the Cattitude organization based in Leefdaal. On 2025-07-22 10:45:00, they officially launched their window display campaign to attract additional foster homes in the region.
Could this creative approach inspire more Belgians to open their homes to stray cats? And how can communities better support such grassroots animal welfare projects? These questions underline the importance of local involvement in animal rescue.
Why is fostering so crucial for cat welfare in Belgium? Temporary foster homes provide safe environments for cats awaiting permanent adoption, reducing shelter overcrowding and improving animal well-being. Initiatives like this can:
- Increase public engagement through visible, local campaigns
- Highlight the demand for foster families in Leuven and surrounding areas
- Encourage community responsibility for stray and abandoned cats
As Koen and Karen’s example shows, small actions can spark bigger change. Interested Belgians are encouraged to consider fostering cats and help build a stronger network of care across the country.
