Carolien

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Meet Carolien, a beautiful 3-year-old girl with a heart of gold. Her hind legs are misaligned/knees are reversed, requiring daily pain medication. She is positive and loves cuddling. Because Carolien is less mobile, we are looking for a specific home: A stable and loving home with a safely enclosed garden or balcony, where she can take time to adjust. Carolien can be placed with a maximum of 1 other cat. What do you get in return? An unconditionally loyal companion, a lively, sweet girl with her beautiful blue eyes. Cats with disabilities are often incredibly grateful and build a deep bond with their owner. Carolien proves every day that a disability doesn't have to stop you from enjoying life. Do you have a warm heart and want to give this beautiful special treasure the chance of a lifetime? Apply using the application form below.

Maak kennis met Carolien, een prachtig 3 jaar oud meisje met een hart van goud. Haar achterpootjes staan verkeerd/knietjes omgedraaid, waardoor ze dagelijks pijnstilling nodig heeft. Ze staat positief in het leven en geniet enorm van knuffelen. Omdat Carolien minder mobiel is, zoeken we een specifiek paleisje: Een stabiel en liefdevol thuis met een veilig afgezet(te) tuin of balkon, waar zij de tijd krijgt om te wennen. Carolien kan geplaatst worden met max. 1 andere kat. Wat krijg je ervoor terug? Een onvoorwaardelijk trouw maatje, een pittig, lief meisje met haar mooie blauwe oogjes. Katten met een beperking zijn vaak ontzettend dankbaar en bouwen een diepe band op met hun baasje. Carolien bewijst elke dag dat een beperking je niet hoeft te stoppen met genieten van het leven. Heb jij een warm hart en wil jij deze mooie speciale schat de kans van haar leven geven? Meld je dan aan middels onderstaand aanmeldingsformulier.

About Carolien

What life with Carolien looks like

Carolien is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katshuisch 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Carolien, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Carolien?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katshuisch handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Carolien on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Carolien if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katshuisch 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Carolien 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 Carolien 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 Katshuisch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Carolien 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.
