Athena

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 6 months

Athena is a curious little kitten who arrived at our shelter together with Iris, Ares and Hera, sadly without a mother. She has now moved into the cattery, but all those new cats, smells and impressions are still quite exciting. So she needs a little more time to get used to her new surroundings. ❤️ Fortunately, Athena is also an enterprising girl! Her curiosity quickly wins out over her caution, and she loves to go exploring. She is also lively and playful and enjoys discovering the world around her. With some time, patience and trust, she will hopefully blossom into a sweet, sociable house cat. ✓ Curious and exploratory ✓ Lively and playful ✓ Still finds her new surroundings a bit scary ✓ Arrived at our shelter together with Iris, Ares and Hera ✓ Needs time and trust to fully blossom For Athena we are looking for a loving home where she can settle in calmly and build trust at her own pace. Because Athena is under 6 months old, we are placing her together with another kitten. A cheerful peer to play with and grow up alongside is important. She could, for example, be placed together with one of her littermates. Another young, sociable cat in the home is of course also an option. Who will give this little explorer a warm basket where she can grow up with a feline friend? 🏡❤️ Vroenhoutseweg 37 4703 SH Roosendaal Tel.

Athena is een nieuwsgierig poesje dat samen met Iris, Ares en Hera bij ons is binnengekomen, helaas zonder moeder. Inmiddels is ze in de kattenren terechtgekomen, maar al die nieuwe katten, geurtjes en indrukken zijn nog best spannend. Ze moet dus nog even wennen aan haar nieuwe omgeving. ❤️ Gelukkig is Athena ook een ondernemend meisje! Haar nieuwsgierigheid wint het al snel van haar voorzichtigheid en ze gaat graag op onderzoek uit. Daarnaast is ze lekker speels en vindt ze het heerlijk om de wereld om zich heen te ontdekken. Met wat tijd, geduld en vertrouwen kan ze hopelijk helemaal openbloeien tot een lieve, sociale huiskat. ✓ Nieuwsgierig en onderzoekend ✓ Lekker speels ✓ Vindt haar nieuwe omgeving nog een beetje spannend ✓ Samen met Iris, Ares en Hera bij ons binnengekomen ✓ Heeft tijd en vertrouwen nodig om verder open te bloeien Voor Athena zoeken we een liefdevol thuis waar ze rustig mag wennen en op haar eigen tempo vertrouwen kan opbouwen. Omdat Athena jonger is dan 6 maanden, plaatsen we haar samen met een ander kitten. Een gezellig leeftijdsgenootje om mee te spelen en samen mee op te groeien is belangrijk. Ze kan bijvoorbeeld samen met een van haar nestgenootjes geplaatst worden. Een andere jonge, sociale kat in huis is natuurlijk ook een mogelijkheid. Wie geeft deze kleine ontdekker een warm mandje waar ze samen met een kattenvriendje mag opgroeien? 🏡❤️ Vroenhoutseweg 37 4703 SH Roosendaal Tel.

About Athena

What life with Athena looks like

Athena is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Het Dierenhuis 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 Athena, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Athena?: 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 Athena on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Athena 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Athena 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 Athena 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 Athena 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.
