Adopt Balouke

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Balouke let's give him a look, but he's just arrived with us and can't be placed yet. Due to the passing of his housemate, he was brought to us. He's a big sweetheart, relaxed, affectionate, walks with you, and goes his own way. He's not really used to a garden but could handle it if the garden is enclosed and safe. Balouke isn't used to children or dogs but is very cuddly. He likes to be by you. **Balouke is already getting visits, so we'll see if the connection is super good.**. This animal is not suitable for homes with children.

Balouke laten we vast zien maar hij is nog maar net bij ons en mag binnenkort pas geplaatst worden. Vanwege overlijden van zijn huisgenote is hij bij ons gebracht. Hij is een grote lieverd, relaxed, aanhalig, loopt met je mee en gaat zijn gangetje. Hij is niet echt een tuin gewend maar zou dat wel kunnen als de tuin is afgesloten en veilig is. Balouke is geen kinderen en honden gewend maar wel veel knuffels. Hij ligt graag bij je. **Balouke krijgt al bezoek, afwachten of de juiste klik er is.

About Balouke

What life with Balouke looks like

Balouke is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at De Poezenboot in Amsterdam.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Balouke, answered.

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