Adopt Benjamin

Mixed Breed · Male

A real sweetheart, we can't say anything else, Benjamin was also found at a campsite and brought to us. We can clearly see that he has been used to human contact. Benjamin is a handsome big guy who sees life as a party. He gets along well with other cats and can handle dogs. With children, that should go well too. Benjamin enjoys a walk around the house, but prefers being with people. A busy family would be perfect for him. We think he's great, a real cuddly cat. He's also a young tomcat this year.

Een lieverd we kunnen niet anders zeggen, ook Benjamin is gevonden op een camping en naar ons toe gebracht. We kunnen duidelijk merken dat hij menselijk contact gewend is geweest. Benjamin is een knappe best grote kerel die het leven een feestje vind. Hij vind andere katten prima en kan met honden overweg. Kinderen dat zal ook goed moeten gaan. Benjamin vind een rondje om het huis wandelen wel gezellig, maar is graag bij de mens. Een druk gezin dat zou prima moeten kunnen voor hem. Wij vinden hem geweldig een op en top knuffelkater. Is nog een jonge kater van dit jaar.

About Benjamin

What life with Benjamin looks like

Benjamin is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Flappus in Netherlands.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇳🇱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 Benjamin, answered.

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