Blacky

Male · Senior · 12 years

This is Blacky, a handsome 12-year-old tomcat. Although he's an older gentleman now, you wouldn't know it! At first, he always needs some time to get used to new people. But with a calm approach and a bit of patience, he quickly opens up. When he feels comfortable, he loves coming to you for a few lovely cuddles and, of course, the necessary pets. Blacky is a sweet, cozy tomcat who makes contact at his own pace. Give him some time to get to know you and you'll get an incredibly nice cuddle buddy in return!

Dit is Blacky, een knappe kater van 12 jaar oud. Hoewel hij inmiddels een wat oudere heer is, zou je dat zeker niet zeggen! In het begin moet hij altijd even wennen aan nieuwe mensen. Met een rustige benadering en een beetje geduld komt hij echter al snel los. Wanneer hij zich op zijn gemak voelt, komt hij graag bij je voor een paar heerlijke knuffels en natuurlijk de nodige aaitjes. Blacky is een lieve, gezellige kater die vooral op zijn eigen tempo contact maakt. Geef hem even de tijd om je te leren kennen en je krijgt er een ontzettend fijne knuffelvriend voor terug!

About Blacky

What life with Blacky looks like

Blacky is a senior cat waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇳🇱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 Blacky, answered.

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