European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 3 months

Hi, I’m Rufus! Together with my mom and sister Hazel, I ended up in foster care. Now that I’m big enough, I’m ready to start looking for my own forever home. The big wide world still feels pretty exciting to me. I prefer to take a closer look at new people and new situations from a safe distance first—so I’m not rushing over to you just yet. Playing with a feather toy is still a bit tricky for me too. I do peek at it curiously, but I don’t always dare to go after it yet. It’s completely different with my sister Hazel. Together, we run around, play, and have lots of fun. She gives me confidence, and because of that, I’m gradually becoming more and more brave. That’s why it would be wonderful if we could find a new home together. I’m looking for an owner who’ll give me the time I need to settle in at my own pace. With patience, love, and daily attention, I’ll gradually gain more trust. Since I’m still young, I have the potential to grow into a sweet and confident tomcat. It’s possible that at first, I’ll hide a little in my new home. That’s not because I don’t like you—it’s just that I want to make sure everything is safe before I come out. Will you give me that time? Then I’ll slowly start exploring my new home step by step. And when my sister Hazel is there with me, I’ll probably feel even more comfortable and confident right away. Would you like to offer me a home? If so, please fill out the intake form below, and we’ll quickly arrange a first meeting. Before bringing a cat into your home, we’d like to make sure you understand everything that comes with it. Please read through this LICG pet information leaflet. Do you still have questions afterward? We’d be happy to answer them for you.

Hoi, ik ben Rufus! Samen met mijn mama en zus Hazel kwam ik in de opvang terecht. Inmiddels ben ik groot genoeg om op zoek te gaan naar een eigen thuis. Ik vind de grote wereld nog best spannend. Nieuwe mensen en nieuwe situaties bekijk ik liever eerst van een afstandje. Daarom kom ik nog niet meteen naar je toe. Ook spelen met een hengelspeeltje vind ik nog een beetje lastig. Ik kijk er wel nieuwsgierig naar, maar ik durf er nog niet altijd achteraan te gaan. Met mijn zus Hazel is dat heel anders. Samen rennen, spelen en stoeien we erop los. Zij geeft mij vertrouwen en daardoor durf ik steeds een beetje meer. Daarom zou het heel fijn zijn als we samen een nieuw thuis mogen vinden. Ik zoek een eigenaar die mij de tijd geeft om rustig te wennen. Met geduld, liefde en dagelijkse aandacht zal ik steeds meer vertrouwen krijgen. Omdat ik nog jong ben, kan ik uitgroeien tot een lieve en zelfverzekerde kater. Het kan zijn dat ik me in mijn nieuwe huis eerst even verstop. Dat is niet omdat ik je niet leuk vind, maar omdat ik eerst wil ontdekken of alles veilig is. Geef je mij die tijd? Dan zal ik stap voor stap mijn nieuwe thuis gaan verkennen. En als mijn zus Hazel erbij is, durf ik dat waarschijnlijk nóg sneller. Wil jij mij een huisje bieden? Vul dan hieronder het intake formulier in, dan kan er snel een eerste ontmoeting ingepland worden. Voor je een kat in huis haalt zijn wij benieuwd of je weet wat er allemaal bij komt kijken. Lees je in door middel van deze LICG huisdierenbijsluiter. Heb je daarna nog vragen? Wij beantwoorden ze graag.

About Adoptiepagina

What life with Adoptiepagina looks like

Adoptiepagina is a medium-sized puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at ROZE Eindhoven in Netherlands.

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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Adoptiepagina, answered.

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