Elio

European Shorthair · Male · 2 months

Home/Elio Hi, I'm Elio, a very sweet and handsome little guy! Together with my brothers and sisters, I was found and caught in the wild when we were around 7 weeks old. We weren't used to people, but we soon became interested in them. Still a little scared, of course, but after just a few days we noticed that being tickled was actually quite nice. And soon our little motors started purring. We also loved all the food! Luckily, we no longer had to look for food ourselves. Now we're completely used to the people and we think it's fantastic here. We eat, play, and sleep all day long. We also love chatting with our human mama and come bouncing over happily when we're called. We prefer to lie together, all six of us, in a far-too-small basket, but hey, that's what we're used to from home.

Home/Elio Elio Hoi, ik ben Elio, een heel lief en knap ventje! Ik ben samen met mijn broertjes en zusjes in het wild gevonden en gevangen toen we rond de 7 weken waren. We waren geen mensen gewend maar waren wel al snel geïnteresseerd in mensen. Nog wel een beetje bang natuurlijk maar al na een paar dagen merkten we dat kriebelen best wel fijn was. En al snel begin ons motortje te ronken. Ook al het eten vonden we heerlijk! Nu hoefden we gelukkig zelf geen eten meer te zoeken. Nu zijn we helemaal gewend bij de mensen en we vinden het fantastisch hier. We eten, spelen, slapen de hele dag door. We kletsen ook graag met onze mensenmama en komen gezellig aan huppelen als we geroepen worden. We liggen het liefst met zijn 6-en in een veel te klein mandje maar he, dit hebben we vanuit huis mee ge

About Elio

What life with Elio looks like

Elio is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Kittenopvang Moederloos 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 Elio, answered.

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