Maak kennis met Buddy

European Shorthair · Male

What, who? I really need to wake up a bit here. I’m an elderly gentleman—and now you want me to move again? That’s quite a thing! I’m looking for a veeeery quiet little house with someone who doesn’t want to cuddle with me all the time or expect me to sit on their lap. I’ve had some prostate issues—just an old-man’s ailment—but thanks to a special diet, that’s no longer a problem. Who can I come and spend my golden years with?

NL·Show original

Wat, wie? Zo ik moet even wakker worden hoor. Ik ben een heer op leeftijd. En dan moet je nu nog verhuizen, dat is ook wat he! Ik zoek een heeeeeel rustig huisje bij iemand die niet de hele tijd met mij wil knuffelen of verwacht dat ik op schoot kom. Ik heb wat prostaat-probleempjes gehad, oude mannen-kwaaltje, maar door een speciaal dieet is dat niet meer aan de orde. Bij wie mag ik mijn oude dag komen doorbrengen?

About Maak kennis met Buddy

What life with Maak kennis met Buddy looks like

Maak kennis met Buddy is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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

Frequently asked

Adopting Maak kennis met Buddy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maak kennis met Buddy?
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 Maak kennis met Buddy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maak kennis met Buddy 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 Maak kennis met Buddy 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 Maak kennis met Buddy 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 Maak kennis met Buddy 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.
