How do I contact the shelter about Bolle?

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 Bolle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bolle 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 Bolle 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 Bolle 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 Bolle 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.

Bolle

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 6 months

A small black-and-white adventurer is looking for a loving home! The story began with his mother, who was found as a stray. Luckily, she arrived at the shelter just in time, because a day later she gave birth to as many as six kittens. What luck that she was safe inside and then went to a foster home. In the meantime, Bolle has grown into a cheerful, enterprising and above all very sociable kitten. Bolle is very people-oriented and social. He loves to be involved in what you are doing and is curious about everything that happens around him. Sitting still? That's a waste of time as a kitten! Because he is so social, this kitten is preferably placed together with a littermate or with another social and playful kitten or a young cat. This way, there is not only a playmate to play and romp with, but also to play pranks together, take a nap and discover the world. Bolle gets along well with children and can learn to get used to dogs, provided this is done calmly and in a positive way. He is looking for a home where there is enough time and attention. A place with people who are often and long away from home, therefore does not fit. An indoor life is certainly possible, if sufficient challenge is offered. Think of variety in toys, scratching possibilities, climbing places, hiding places and for example food games or puzzles where he can use the smart head. This way, both the body and the curious kitten brain stay busy. Who has a place in his heart and home for this sweet adventurer?

Een klein zwart-wit avonturiertje is op zoek naar een fijn thuis! Het verhaal begon bij zijn moeder, die als zwerver werd gevonden. Gelukkig kwam ze precies op tijd in het asiel terecht, want een dag later beviel ze van maar liefst zes kittens. Wat een geluk dat ze veilig binnen was en erna naar een gastgezin kon gaan. Inmiddels is Bolle uitgegroeid tot een vrolijk, ondernemend en vooral ontzettend gezellig kitten. Bolle is erg mensgericht en sociaal. Hij vindt het heerlijk om betrokken te zijn bij wat je aan het doen bent en is nieuwsgierig naar alles wat er om hem heen gebeurt. Stilzitten? Dat is natuurlijk zonde van je tijd als kitten! Omdat hij zo sociaal is, wordt dit kitten bij voorkeur geplaatst samen met een nestgenoot of bij een ander sociaal en speels kitten of een jonge kat. Zo is er niet alleen een maatje om mee te spelen en te ravotten, maar ook om samen kattenkwaad uit te halen, een dutje te doen en de wereld te ontdekken. Bolle kan goed met kinderen en kan leren wennen aan honden, mits dit rustig en op een positieve manier wordt opgebouwd. Hij zoekt een thuis waar voldoende tijd en aandacht is. Een plekje bij mensen die vaak en lang van huis zijn, past daarom niet. Een binnenleven is zeker mogelijk, als er voldoende uitdaging wordt geboden. Denk aan afwisseling in speelgoed, krabmogelijkheden, klimplekken, verstopplekjes en bijvoorbeeld voerspelletjes of puzzels waarbij hij het slimme koppie kan gebruiken. Zo blijven zowel het lichaam als het nieuwsgierige kittenbrein lekker bezig. Wie heeft er een plekje in zijn hart én huis voor dit lieve avonturiertje?

About Bolle

What life with Bolle looks like

Bolle is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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 — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇳🇱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.
