How do I contact the shelter about Bonnie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierencentrum De Mère handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bonnie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Bonnie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierencentrum De Mère 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 Bonnie 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 Bonnie 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 Dierencentrum De Mère early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bonnie 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.

Bonnie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Bonnie is a sweet 3-year-old cat who is looking for a forever home. She is a cuddly and affectionate cat who loves attention and being around people. She gets along well with children and is a very easy-going cat who just wants a place to call her own. Unfortunately, Bonnie has some scars on her side and part of her tail is missing. We believe these scars are the result of old burns. We don't know exactly what happened to her, but she is looking forward to a happy life. Bonnie would love to have a home where she can go outside and explore, and then come back to get attention. She also has sensitive lungs, but she can live a long and happy life with the right care. It is very important that her new home is smoke-free, as smoking is not good for her lungs. If you can see beyond her scars and see the sweet cat she is, she would love to be your new best friend. She has so much love to give and is hoping that her forever home is waiting for her.

Lieve Bonnie zoekt een thuis waar ze helemaal zichzelf mag zijn Hallo, ik ben Bonnie. Een lieve poes van ongeveer 3 jaar oud en ik hoop zo dat er iemand is die mij een fijn, warm thuis wil geven. Ik ben een echte knuffelkont en ben graag bij je in de buurt. Aandacht en gezelligheid vind ik heerlijk. Ook met kinderen kan ik goed overweg. Ik ben dus eigenlijk een heel lieve en makkelijke dame, die vooral verlangt naar een eigen plekje waar ik voor altijd mag blijven. Aan mijn lichaam kun je zien dat ik geen gemakkelijk verleden heb gehad. Ik heb littekens op mijn zij en een stuk van mijn staart ontbreekt. We denken dat deze littekens het gevolg zijn van oude brandwonden. Wat er precies met mij is gebeurd, weet niemand. Maar ik kijk liever vooruit, want ik wil zo graag nog een heleboel mooie jaren tegemoet. Ik zou heel graag een huisje vinden waar ik ook lekker naar buiten mag. Even de tuin in, een rondje maken en daarna weer heerlijk naar huis komen om aandacht te krijgen. Dat lijkt me fantastisch. Ik heb wel wat gevoelige longen. Gelukkig hoef ik daar niet zielig om te zijn en kan ik hier gewoon oud mee worden. Wel is het heel belangrijk dat mijn nieuwe huis rookvrij is. Roken is voor mijn longen niet goed en daarom kan ik niet geplaatst worden bij mensen die roken. Wie kijkt verder dan mijn littekens en ziet gewoon de lieve Bonnie die ik ben? Ik heb nog zoveel liefde te geven en hoop heel hard dat mijn eigen baasje ergens op mij zit te wachten.

About Bonnie

What life with Bonnie looks like

Bonnie is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierencentrum De Mère in Netherlands.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇳🇱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.
