Ben

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Home/Ben Ben Op zoek naar de allerliefste en allerleukste kat van de wereld? Dat ben ik natuurlijk, aangenaam ; ) Hieronder mijn verhaal, neem even lekker de tijd om het te lezen. Want Ben is bij ons teruggekomen in de opvang. En dat was goed voor hem! Want als zéér knuffelige en ietwat drukke puber matchte hij helaas niet met de minder zelfverzekerde en rustige Maan. De eigenaresse hoopte dat Ben haar nieuwe vriend zou worden, maar na een lange tijd aankijken en alles geprobeerd te hebben, ging het tóch echt niet. En toen kreeg Ben een missie! Want deze kanjer is ingezet als rescuebuddy voor Bon Jovi! Bon.. het kitten dat vooral onder de bank vandaan kwam als de mensen uit de woonkamer waren. En lieve, enthousiaste Ben laat hem zien dat het leven toch echt nog wel heel veel meer is! En me

About Ben

What life with Ben looks like

Ben is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Kittenopvang Moederloos 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ben, answered.

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