Bob

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

Bob is a neutered tomcat around 6 years old. This handsome fellow has been in the animal shelter for a while; he was found with a paralyzed front leg and needed a lot of time to recover. With the help of physical therapy, plenty of yummy treats, and lots of love, his leg is fully recovered, and he can walk well again. After that, he developed bronchitis symptoms, for which he received medication. This is something he might occasionally have to deal with in the future, but it can be managed with some medication. Bob is very easy to give his medication to. Bob loves being petted and can often never get enough of it; the more, the better. We are looking for a home where he can take his time to adjust, where there isn't too much activity with young children, and where, once he is well-adjusted, he can enjoy a quiet environment when going outside. He is sometimes friendly with other cats.

Bob is een kater gecastreerd van rond de 6 jaar oud. Deze knappe man zit al een tijdje in het asiel, hij is gevonden met een verlamde voorpoot en deze had veel tijd nodig om te herstellen. Met fysiotherapie, veel lekkere hapjes en liefde is zijn poot volledig hersteld en kan hij er weer goed op Bob houdt enorm van kroelen en kan er vaak geen genoeg van krijgen, hoe langer hoe beter. We zoeken voor hem een huisje waar hij de tijd krijgt om te wennen, waar het niet te druk is met jonge kinderen. Bob kan als binnenkat geplaatst worden mits hij een balkon tot zijn beschikking heeft waar hij regelmatig een frisse neus mag halen en lekker naar de vogeltjes mag kijken. Andere katten is hij geen fan van, liever heeft hij alle aandacht voor zichzelf en geef hem eens ongelijk. Bob heeft bronchitis waar hij af en toe een beetje last van heeft maar prima oud mee kan worden.

About Bob

What life with Bob looks like

Bob is a adult mixed breed animal waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem in Netherlands.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Bob far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇳🇱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 Bob, answered.

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