How do I contact the shelter about Elva?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Elva if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard 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 Elva 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 Elva 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 Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elva 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.

Elva

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Elva is a shy little cat. She has three big brothers around her who demand all the attention, so she gets pushed to the background. In her young life, she has experienced quite a lot, so she has to be careful about trusting new people. At first, she keeps her distance and then comes closer. She can be won over with some tasty food or a fun toy. She is looking for a quieter home. If there is too much noise in the house, she finds a quiet spot until things calm down. She would love to have another kitten or cat in the house. Do you like peace and quiet around you and are you looking for a sweet housemate? Come and meet me.

This includes: character, health, necessary living conditions and specific needs. In this way, we can give the animals the best care and we also know what the animal needs in its new home. The first intake for a kitten or cat is done by having a phone conversation. We then ask you 'the skin off your back' so we can make the right match.

Hallo, ik ben Elva. Ik ben een beetje een verlegen poesje. Logisch ook wel, want ik heb drie grote broers om me heen lopen die alle aandacht opeisen. Ik als nette dame word dan een beetje naar de achtergrond geduwd. In mijn jonge leventje heb ik al best wat meegemaakt en ik moet daardoor even goed kijken of nieuwe mensen te vertrouwen zijn. In eerste instantie kijk ik van een afstandje en daarna kom ik pas wat dichterbij. Met wat lekker eten of een leuk speeltje laat ik me wel omkopen. Ik zoek een wat rustiger huisje. Als er teveel drukte in huis is dan zoek ik een rustig plekje op tot de rust is teruggekeerd. Een andere kitten of kat in huis zou ik wel erg gezellig vinden. Hou jij ook van wat rust om je heen en zoek je een lieve huisgenoot? Kom dan zeker eens met mij kennismaken. Geslacht Poes Gecastreerd / Gesteriliseerd Ja Leeftijdsfase Kitten Kan met (andere) katten Ja Kan met (andere) honden Wisselend Kan met kinderen Onbekend Type kat Binnen & Buitenkat Meer informatie? Voor meer informatie of deze kitten voor jou geschikt is en voor het inplannen van een kennismaking, neem telefonisch contact op met onze adoptie coördinator op 06 58 74 85 39. Ik wil kitten adopteren, hoe werkt dat? Heb je een kitten gezien die jouw interesse heeft gewekt? Je kunt jouw interesse kenbaar maken door te bellen met de kittencoördinator. Er wordt gekeken naar wat je te bieden hebt en of dat past bij het dier. Zo komt elk dier binnen met een eigen verhaal. Gedurende het verblijf in ons asiel brengen we voor onszelf, maar ook voor het dier, een profiel in kaart. Hierbij is te denken aan: karakter, gezondheid, nodige leefomstandigheden en specifieke behoeften. Op deze manier kunnen wij de dieren de beste zorg geven en weten wij ook wat het dier nodig heeft in zijn nieuwe huis. De eerste intake voor een kitten of kat gebeurt door het voeren van een telefoongesprek. We vragen je dan ook ‘de hemd van het lijf’ zodat we de juiste match kunnen maken.

About Elva

What life with Elva looks like

Elva is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard in Netherlands.

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.
