Bente

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Maak kennis met Bente, een prachtige driekleurige poes van 1 jaar en 9 maanden oud. Voor Bente is het asielleven momenteel nog best spannend. Nieuwe geluiden, onbekende mensen en een andere omgeving zorgen ervoor dat ze zich soms onzeker voelt. Wanneer iets haar te veel wordt, kan ze dit laten merken door te blazen. Dat doet ze niet omdat ze onaardig is, maar omdat ze duidelijk aangeeft dat ze wat meer tijd en ruimte nodig heeft. Bente houdt haar omgeving goed in de gaten en bekijkt alles eerst aandachtig vanaf een veilige afstand. Ze is een poes die niet over één nacht ijs gaat en die eerst rustig moet wennen voordat ze zich echt kan ontspannen. Daarom zoeken we voor haar een geduldig thuis waar geen verwachtingen worden opgelegd en waar ze op haar eigen tempo vertrouwen kan opbouwen. Wij verwachten dat Bente, zodra ze zich veilig voelt, steeds meer van zichzelf zal laten zien. Ze heeft vooral mensen nodig die haar begrijpen en haar de kans geven om in alle rust te ontdekken dat ze erbij hoort. Heb jij een rustig plekje vrij voor deze mooie dame en kun jij haar de tijd geven die ze nodig heeft? Dan zou Bente zomaar eens kunnen uitgroeien tot een geweldige huisgenoot.

About Bente

What life with Bente looks like

Bente is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

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 Bente, answered.

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