Bella

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Bella is a cute Cyprus cat with a bit of red, a spayed female with an estimated birth date: 06-05-2023. First a little history: she came to the shelter along with 3 kittens. To give the kittens and mother some extra guidance, the family was kindly taken in by one of our foster families until the kittens were big enough to be placed. That worked. After a period of rest and later spaying, mom Bella began her adventure. She was placed and her new owners definitely did their best to make her feel safe. It didn't work, she kept hiding...

Bella is een knap cypers met beetje rood poesje, inmiddels gecastreerd en met geschatte geboortedatum: 06-05-2023. Eerst een stukje historie: samen met 3 kittens kwam ze in opvang in het asiel. Om de kleintjes en mama wat extra begeleiding te geven is de familie liefdevol opgevangen bij één van onze gastgezinnen tot de kittens groot genoeg waren om geplaatst te worden. Dat is gelukt. Na een periode van rust en later castratie mocht mama Bella aan haar avontuur beginnen. Ze werd geplaatst en haar nieuwe baasjes hebben zonder twijfel heel erg hun best gedaan om haar veilig te laten voelen. Het is niet gelukt, ze bleef verscholen…

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierentehuis in Vriezenveen.

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 Bella, answered.

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