Boef

Mixed Breed Β· Unknown Β· Kitten Β· 3 months

Boef: a very cute and sweet little boy of over 3 months old who is looking for a golden basket where he is very welcome! Boef came to us with his brother and sister and they were terrified of people. Boef was also in a bad way. He was skinny, covered in thick scabs and was a bit dehydrated. But fortunately, he accepted the care and slowly learned that we would not harm him, but only give him love. And now we see a completely different Boef! We think he is ready for a golden basket. Boef is a kitten who sometimes needs to get used to new people, but then he lets himself be persuaded by liquid snacks. But if Boef knows you, he is a very different cat. He starts purring as soon as you look at him and talk to him and enjoys the attention with all his might! Sometimes when you approach him too quickly and immediately bend down, he is still startled, but he recovers quickly from this. Boef is very social with the other kittens and immediately welcomes other kittens! He gives them head buts and is happy with them! That's why we are looking for a place for him with or near another cat/kitten who also likes this. Because Boef will have to get used to his new environment again, we are looking for a quiet household for him. A place without children or dogs, where he can slowly thaw and flourish again! Then he will give all his love back to you. We are looking for sweet people who will go all out for this little boy!

Boef: een heel schattig en lief ventje van ruim 3 maanden jong die opzoek is naar een gouden mandje waar hij heel welkom is! Boef is samen met zijn broertje en zusje bij ons binnen gekomen en zij waren doodsbang voor mensen. Boef was er sowieso ook slecht aan toe. Was graatmager, zat onder de dikke korsten en was wat uitgedroogd. Maar gelukkig accepteerde hij de zorg en leerde hij langzaam dat wij hem geen kwaad zullen doen, maar alleen maar liefde wilden geven. En nu zien wij een hele andere Boef! Wij denken dan ook dat hij helemaal klaar is voor een gouden mandje. Boef is een katje die soms aan nieuwe mensen even moet wennen, maar zich dan wel laat overhalen voor liquid snacks. Maar als Boef je kent is hij al een heel ander katje. Hij begint als te spinnen zodra je hem aankijkt en tegen hem praat en geniet met alle teugen van de aandacht! Soms als je iets te snel op hem afloopt en direct gaat bukken, schrikt hij nog even, maar hij hersteld zich hier ook heel snel van. Boef is heel erg sociaal met de andere katjes en heet andere kittens ook direct welkom! Hij geeft ze direct kopjes en is blij met ze! Daarom zoeken we voor hem een plekje met of bij een andere kat/kitten die dit ook leuk vindt. Omdat Boef in zijn nieuwe omgeving wel weer zal moeten wennen, zoeken we voor hem een rustig huishouden. Een plekje zonder kinderen of honden, waar hij even rustig weer kan ontdooien en kan opbloeien! Dan zal hij al zijn liefde aan je terug geven. Voor Boef zoeken wij dus lieve mensen die helemaal voor dit ventje gaan!

About Boef

What life with Boef looks like

Boef is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen in Netherlands.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months β€” most shelters arrange this before adoption.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±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 Boef, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Boef?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenopvang Koningen handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Boef on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Boef if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Dierenopvang Koningen 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Boef 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Boef isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dierenopvang Koningen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Boef 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 β€” 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.
