Dirks

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 11 months

Dirks is a young tomcat. The brothers both need time to adjust and were previously very timid, but they're doing much better with us. Once they're used to things, they're cuddly and prefer to lie on your lap all day. They're both quite accustomed now and ask for attention by chattering at you. Both very playful and energetic, but then they are young, after all. They're not used to a garden but did well with children and dogs. Each dog and each child is different, though. They're not really keen on each other and we'll place them separately. **Bingos and Dirks will both be getting visitors. So let's see if there's a click for the boys.** Bingos has already gotten his new happy home.

Dirks is een jonge kater, De broers hebben beide tijd nodig om te wennen en waren voorheen erg angstig maar bij ons valt dat erg mee. Als ze eenmaal gewend zijn, zijn het knuffels en liggen ze het liefst de hele dag op schoot. Inmiddels zijn ze beiden al aardig gewend en vragen om aandacht door tegen je te kletsen. Beide erg speels en bewegelijk maar wat wil je, je bent jong toch? Ze zijn geen tuin gewend maar wel kinderen en honden en dat ging goed. Al is iedere hond en ieder kind anders. Ze zijn niet echt gek op elkaar en we gaan ze apart plaatsen. **Bingos en Dirks krijgen beiden bezoek. Dus even afwachten of er een klik is voor de heren. **Bingos krijgt inmiddels zijn nieuwe happy home.

About Dirks

What life with Dirks looks like

Dirks is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at De Poezenboot in Amsterdam.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dirks, answered.

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