Doja en Dolly

Mixed Breed · Male

Doja and Dolly arrived at their foster home thin and timid. They have since gained strength and are well on their way to becoming lap cats. The sisters are wonderfully curious and playful. All the toys are fun! A mouse on a fishing line is irresistible, and they can also play for hours with a green bean! They sometimes playfully wrestle, running the whole room and tumbling over each other. They also love climbing, clambering, and searching for small holes! They have now become completely accustomed to their foster family. In the first days, they would run to a box or under a blanket as soon as someone entered the room. With a lot of patience, trust has been built. They have discovered that petting feels good and now lie purring on their foster family's laps. Doja (with the light ears) is a bit more shy than Dolly (dark ears), but Doja also dares a little more every day! Because new people, and especially their hands, sudden gestures and loud noises are still scary, we think it's important that they come to people who calmly interact with them, and there are no young children in the house. Normally, we do not place two cats together, but for these sisters, we are happy to make an exception since they are very attached to each other. We prefer to place them in a house where a tomcat is already present. Doja and Dolly are curious and may potentially be interested in going outside in the future, but because they also had a shy start, it is desirable that they go outside in an environment with few stimuli or on a fenced balcony/cat-proof screened garden.

Doja en Dolly kwamen mager en schuw bij hun gastgezin aan. Inmiddels zijn ze aangesterkt en hard op weg om schootkatten te worden. De zusjes zijn heerlijk nieuwsgierig en speels. Al het speelgoed is leuk! Een muisje aan een hengeltje is onweerstaanbaar en ook met een sperzieboon kunnen ze uren spelen! Samen stoeien ze soms fel, ze rennen de hele kamer door en buitelen over elkaar heen. Klimmen, klauteren en kleine gaatjes zoeken vinden ze ook geweldig! Aan het gastgezin zijn ze inmiddels helemaal gewend geraakt. De eerste dagen renden naar een doos of onder een deken zodra er iemand de kamer inkwam. Met heel veel geduld is het vertrouwen opgebouwd. Ze hebben ontdekt dat aaien fijn voelt en liggen nu spinnend bij het gastgezin op schoot. Doja (met de lichte oortjes) is daarbij nog iets verlegener dan Dolly (donkere oortjes), maar ook Doja durft elke dag weer wat meer! Omdat nieuwe mensen, en vooral hun handen, plotsklapse gebaren en harde geluiden nog eng zijn vinden we het belangrijk dat ze bij mensen komen die rustig met hen omgaan, en er geen jonge kinderen in het huis aanwezig zijn. Normaal gesproken plaatsen wij geen twee poezen bij elkaar, maar voor deze zusjes maken graag een uitzondering aangezien ze erg aan elkaar gehecht zijn. We plaatsen hen wel bij voorkeur in een huis waar al een kater aanwezig is. Doja en Dolly zijn nieuwsgierig en zouden mogelijk in de toekomst wel interesse hebben om naar buiten te gaan, maar omdat ze ook een schuwe start gehad hebben is het wenselijk dat ze naar buiten gaan in een omgeving met weinig prikkels of op een afgezet balkon/katproof afgeschermde tuin.

About Doja en Dolly

What life with Doja en Dolly looks like

Doja en Dolly is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kat in Nood 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 Doja en Dolly, answered.

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