Dotje

Mixed Breed · Female

Meet Dotje, a beautiful 1.5-year-old cat. Dotje also comes from a home with over 60 cats. The owner had no ill will, but was struggling to keep everything clean and well-maintained. Unfortunately, it had all gotten too much for her. Luckily, she sought help. The 60 cats were all removed from the house, spayed or neutered, and received medical care. Multiple shelters have joined forces to find new homes for the cats. The owner was allowed to keep a manageable number (of course, spayed or neutered).

Maak kennis met Dotje, en prachtig poesje van 1,5 jaar. Ook Dotje komt uit een huis met ruim 60 katten. De eigenaar had absoluut geen kwade wil, maar deed juist haar best om het allemaal nog schoon en goed te houden. Maar het was haar allemaal ver boven het hoofd gegroeid. Gelukkig zocht ze hulp. De 60 katten zijn allemaal uit het huis gehaald, gecastreerd, voorzien van medische zorg en meerdere asielen hebben de handen in een geslagen om nieuwe huisjes voor de katten te zoeken. De eigenaar mocht een behapbaar aantal (uiteraard gecastreerd) houden.

About Dotje

What life with Dotje looks like

Dotje is a 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 Dotje, answered.

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