Adopt Black

Mixed Breed · Male

Meow, I'm not cozy :) I like a snack and a drink and a cuddle now and then. Black was given up with much sadness, he is a tough big tomcat but with a little heart. He likes a walk and can get along well with other cats and needs some space. Not suitable for an apartment we think. Children, that will go fine, dogs, oh Mr. doesn't look at them. He is just pretty relaxed and friendly.

Miauw ben ik niet gezellig :) ik houd wel van een hapje en een drankje en een knuffel op zijn tijd. Black is met veel verdriet afgestaan, het is een stoere grote kater maar met een klein hartje. Hij houd van een ommetje om het huis kan met andere katten goed opschieten en heeft wel wat ruimte nodig. Niet geschikt voor een appartement denken wij. Kinderen dat zal prima gaan, honden ach meneer kijkt er niet naar om. Hij is gewoon best relaxt en gezellig.

About Black

What life with Black looks like

Black is a small 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 Black, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Black?
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 Black on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Black 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 Black 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 Black 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 Black 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.
