How do I contact the shelter about Archie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Het Dierenhuis handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Archie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Archie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Het Dierenhuis 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 Archie 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 Archie 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 Het Dierenhuis early rather than rehoming privately; they know Archie 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.

Archie

Mixed Breed · Male

Archie is a sweet black and white tomcat. He is a curious boy who needs some time to get used to you at first. When you come to him, he will keep you at a distance and observe you quietly at first. He wants to know exactly who you are and what you are doing. But his curiosity wins out quickly! Once Archie feels more comfortable, he likes to come closer to discover you and his surroundings. He is very playful and loves to play together. He also appreciates attention. When you pet him, he lets you know with his happy purring that he thoroughly enjoys it. Archie has a nice balance between playing and relaxing. He can be active and mischievous, but he also loves to relax and enjoy a quiet moment to himself or snuggle up with you. Archie gets along well with other cats. At first, he will probably want to sniff and get to know the other cat slowly. Give him time and he will feel more comfortable. We are looking for a loving home for Archie where he can get used to his own pace and where he can play, discover and enjoy attention to his heart's content. ✓ Sweet and curious ✓ Takes time to get used to at first ✓ Very playful ✓ Enjoys attention and petting ✓ Gets along well with other cats Will you give Archie the time to get to know you at his own pace? Then you will get a curious, playful and sweet tomcat who would love to explore with you. ❤️🐾 Vroenhoutseweg 37 4703 SH Roosendaal Tel.

Archie is een lieve zwart-witte kater. Hij is een nieuwsgierige jongen die in het begin even de tijd nodig heeft om aan je te wennen. Wanneer je bij hem komt, houdt hij je eerst rustig vanaf een afstandje in de gaten. Hij wil graag precies weten wie je bent en wat je allemaal aan het doen bent. Maar zijn nieuwsgierigheid wint het al snel! Zodra Archie zich wat meer op zijn gemak voelt, komt hij graag dichterbij om jou en zijn omgeving verder te ontdekken. Hij is ontzettend speels en vindt het heerlijk om samen te spelen. Ook aandacht kan hij erg waarderen. Wanneer je hem aait, laat hij met zijn vrolijke gespin weten dat hij daar volop van geniet. Archie heeft een fijne balans tussen spelen en ontspannen. Hij kan lekker actief en ondeugend zijn, maar vindt het daarna ook heerlijk om rustig te genieten van een momentje voor zichzelf of gezellig bij je in de buurt te zijn. Met andere katten kan Archie goed overweg. In het begin zal hij waarschijnlijk eerst uitgebreid willen snuffelen en de andere kat rustig willen leren kennen. Geef hem daar de tijd voor en hij zal zich steeds meer op zijn gemak voelen. Voor Archie zoeken we een liefdevol thuis waar hij op zijn eigen tempo mag wennen en waar hij volop kan spelen, ontdekken en genieten van aandacht. ✓ Lief en nieuwsgierig ✓ Heeft in het begin even tijd nodig om te wennen ✓ Erg speels ✓ Geniet van aandacht en aaien ✓ Kan goed met andere katten Gun jij Archie de tijd om op zijn eigen tempo kennis met je te maken? Dan krijg je er een nieuwsgierige, speelse en lieve kater voor terug die maar al te graag samen met jou op ontdekking gaat. ❤️🐾 Vroenhoutseweg 37 4703 SH Roosendaal Tel.

About Archie

What life with Archie looks like

Archie is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Het Dierenhuis in Netherlands.

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 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.
