How do I contact the shelter about Candy Cane?

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

Can I adopt Candy Cane if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard 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 Candy Cane 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 Candy Cane 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 Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard early rather than rehoming privately; they know Candy Cane 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.

Candy Cane

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Candy Cane is my name! And yes, I know... with my special copper-brown, reddish fur I stand out quite a bit. My foster family calls me a real beauty. Luckily, I'm not just pretty: I also have a lot of character! I'm a real explorer. If there's something new to experience, I'm there first. New place? Let's take a look. Toy? Right on it! A pole to climb? I'd love to be on top of it! I actually see an adventure in everything. So I'm not afraid of anything. I love it when there's a lot going on around me. People, other cats, toys and coziness: the more life in the pot, the better! So I'm looking for a home where I can discover, play and of course get plenty of attention. A quiet corner for myself is nice, but give me a house where there's always something to experience! Are you ready for a beautiful, enterprising and super cozy housemate? Then come and meet me! Gender: Female, Spayed/Neutered: Yes, Age: Kitten, Can with other cats: Yes, Can with other dogs: Yes, Can with children: Yes, with small and large children, Type of cat: Indoor & Outdoor cat, More information? For more information or if this kitten is suitable for you and to schedule an introduction, please contact our adoption coordinator by phone on 06 58 74 85 39. I want to adopt a kitten, how does that work? Have you seen a kitten that has caught your eye? You can let us know by calling the kitten coordinator. We look at what you have to offer and whether that fits the animal. So every animal comes with its own story. During their stay in our shelter, we make a profile for ourselves, but also for the animal. This includes: character, health, necessary living conditions and specific needs. In this way, we can give the animals the best care and we also know what the animal needs in its new home. The first intake for a kitten or cat takes place by means of a telephone conversation. We then ask you 'the shirt of the body' so that we can make the right match.

Hoi, ik ben Candy Cane! En ja, ik weet het… met mijn bijzondere koperbruine, roodachtige vacht val ik behoorlijk op. Mijn opvanggezin noemt me dan ook een echte beauty. Gelukkig ben ik niet alleen maar mooi: ik heb ook een flinke dosis karakter! Ik ben namelijk een echte ontdekkingsreiziger. Als er ergens iets nieuws te beleven valt, ben ik er als eerste bij. Nieuwe plek? Even kijken. Speeltje? Meteen eropaf. Een paal om in te klimmen? Daar kom ik graag bovenop! Eigenlijk zie ik overal wel een avontuur in. Bang aangelegd ben ik dus zeker niet. Ik vind het juist heerlijk als er van alles om me heen gebeurt. Mensen, andere katten, speelgoed en gezelligheid: hoe meer leven in de brouwerij, hoe beter! Ik ben dus op zoek naar een thuis waar ik lekker mag ontdekken, spelen en natuurlijk volop aandacht krijg. Een rustig hoekje voor mezelf is leuk, maar geef mij maar een huis waar altijd iets te beleven valt! Ben jij klaar voor een prachtige, ondernemende en supergezellige huisgenoot? Kom dan snel eens kennismaken! Geslacht Poes Gecastreerd / Gesteriliseerd Ja Leeftijdsfase Kitten Kan met (andere) katten Ja Kan met (andere) honden Ja Kan met kinderen Ja, met kleine & grote kinderen Type kat Binnen & Buitenkat Meer informatie? Voor meer informatie of deze kitten voor jou geschikt is en voor het inplannen van een kennismaking, neem telefonisch contact op met onze adoptie coördinator op 06 58 74 85 39. Ik wil kitten adopteren, hoe werkt dat? Heb je een kitten gezien die jouw interesse heeft gewekt? Je kunt jouw interesse kenbaar maken door te bellen met de kittencoördinator. Er wordt gekeken naar wat je te bieden hebt en of dat past bij het dier. Zo komt elk dier binnen met een eigen verhaal. Gedurende het verblijf in ons asiel brengen we voor onszelf, maar ook voor het dier, een profiel in kaart. Hierbij is te denken aan: karakter, gezondheid, nodige leefomstandigheden en specifieke behoeften. Op deze manier kunnen wij de dieren de beste zorg geven en weten wij ook wat het dier nodig heeft in zijn nieuwe huis. De eerste intake voor een kitten of kat gebeurt door het voeren van een telefoongesprek. We vragen je dan ook ‘de hemd van het lijf’ zodat we de juiste match kunnen maken.

About Candy Cane

What life with Candy Cane looks like

Candy Cane is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard 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.
