Bollie

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

Hello, Bollie here, and together with Muissie we are looking for a home. Hatsjoe!! Ohja, it's good to tell right away that we sneeze a lot, a kind of permanent hay fever. I am the brave one of the two, coming first to say hello and can make very soft mewing sounds. Bollie is a bit more cautious but eventually comes to check out the place, especially if there's food involved! We also love being petted and getting gentle snuggles. With too much hustle and bustle, we're gone. Who has a loving and quiet home for us?

Hooooi, Bollie hier, en samen met Muissie zoek ik een huisje. Hatsjoe!! Ohja, goed om meteen te vertellen is dat we vrij veel niezen, een soort permanente hooikoorts. Ik ben de stoere van ons twee, kom als eerste naar je toe en kan heel zachtjes mauwen. Bollie is wat voorzichtiger maar komt uiteindelijk ook kijken, vooral als er eten in het spel is! We houden ook heel erg van aaien en rustige knuffels. Met te veel drukte zijn wij weg. Wie heeft een liefdevol rustig huisje voor ons?

About Bollie

What life with Bollie looks like

Bollie is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Bollie, answered.

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