Adopt Dribbel

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Dribbel is not a cat that immediately runs towards you. He is 1.5 years old and prefers to observe the world from a safe distance. When something new happens, he chooses to "watch the cat in the tree." His big eyes attentively follow everything, while he takes his time to determine whether something is trustworthy. For Dribbel, we are looking for a quiet home where he can be himself. A place without too much noise, where people understand that trust takes time. He can be placed well with quiet children aged 12 and up, who respect his boundaries and give him space. Are you someone who is not looking for a cat that gives everything immediately, but rather for a special bond that slowly grows? Then Dribbel could just be your perfect match.

Dribbel is geen kat die meteen op je af komt rennen. Hij is 1,5 jaar oud en bekijkt de wereld liever eerst van een veilige afstand. Als er iets nieuws gebeurt, kiest hij ervoor om “de kat uit de boom te kijken”. Zijn grote ogen volgen alles aandachtig, terwijl hij rustig de tijd neemt om te bepalen of iets te vertrouwen is. Voor Dribbel zoeken we een rustig thuis waar hij zichzelf mag zijn. Een plek zonder al te veel drukte, waar mensen begrijpen dat vertrouwen tijd kost. Hij kan goed geplaatst worden bij rustige kinderen vanaf ongeveer 12 jaar, die respect hebben voor zijn grenzen en hem de ruimte geven. Ben jij iemand die niet op zoek is naar een kat die alles meteen geeft, maar juist naar een bijzondere band die langzaam groeit? Dan zou Dribbel zomaar jouw perfecte match kunnen zijn.

About Dribbel

What life with Dribbel looks like

Dribbel is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

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 Dribbel, answered.

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