How do I contact the shelter about Elvis?

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

Can I adopt Elvis if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenopvang Koningen 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 Elvis 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 Elvis 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 Dierenopvang Koningen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elvis 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.

Elvis

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 6 years

Elvis is an incredibly sweet, adorable, humble, and very friendly 6-year-old boy. And for this dear fellow, we’re looking for a special place where he can finally be truly happy! Elvis came to us after his beloved companion passed away. He’d been living with his human companion and six other cats, enjoying a life of carefree bliss—until his human passed away, that is. For quite some time, Elvis stopped showing up, spending most of his days outdoors, which made it really difficult for the people who were supposed to bring him to us to find him. But eventually, he was located, and we were able to safely bring him to our shelter. Elvis gets along wonderfully with other cats and feels right at home here. While he may find new people a bit intimidating at first, if you speak softly to him, gently scratch behind his chin, and give him a nice cuddle, he’ll instantly melt and thoroughly enjoy your company. He loves being cuddled, adores playing together, and even though he doesn’t immediately come running to meet you, he’s truly the sweetest little soul there is! Elvis is used to going outside, and we’d love to let him continue doing so in his new home. He’s not accustomed to dogs or small children, but he can happily share his home with other cats. We’re looking for kind, loving people who can offer this sweet boy a calm and comfortable environment—a place where he’ll feel safe and loved, where people will make time for cuddles, where they’ll give him all the space he needs to adjust to his new life, and where they’ll simply adore him just as he is. You’ll welcome into your home an absolutely delightful and sweet young man who’ll thrive and slowly open up to you. You’re warmly invited to come meet him in person—then he can show you firsthand just how special he is!

Elvis; een ontzettend lieve, schattige, bescheiden en heel vriendelijke knul van 6 jaar jong. En voor deze lieverd zoeken wij een speciaal plekje, waar hij heel gelukkig mag gaan worden! Elvis is bij ons gekomen nadat zijn vrouwtje is overleden. Hij woonde, samen met nog 6 katten, bij zijn vrouwtje en had geen zorg in de wereld. Totdat zijn vrouwtje dus overleed… Elvis liet zich langere tijd niet meer zien en was veel buiten, waardoor de mensen die hem naar ons zouden brengen, hem maar moeilijk konden vinden. Maar uiteindelijk was hij daar en kon hij veilig naar ons worden gebracht. Elvis kan het uitstekend vinden met andere katten en voelt zich hier prima bij. Nieuwe mensen vindt hij soms wat spannend, maar als je zachtjes tegen hem praat, hem onder zijn kinnetje kriebelt en aait, dan is hij meteen helemaal om en geniet hij met volle teugen. Hij vindt het heerlijk om te knuffelen, heel fijn om samen te spelen en ondanks dat hij niet meteen aan komt rennen om kennis met je te maken, is hij echt de allerliefste! Elvis is dus gewend om ook naar buiten te kunnen en wij gunnen hem dat ook in zijn nieuwe huis. Hij is niet gewend aan honden of kleine kinderen, maar met andere katten kan hij prima samenwonen. Voor deze lieve jongen zoeken wij lieve mensen die hem een rustige en fijne plek kunnen bieden, die hem opzoeken voor knuffels, die hem alle tijd geven om te wennen aan zijn nieuwe leven en die hem geweldig vinden zoals hij is. U krijgt dan echt een ontzettend leuke en lieve jongeman in huis, die zal genieten en langzaam zal ontdooien. U bent van harte welkom om in levende lijve kennis met hem te komen maken. Dan kan hij zelf laten zien hoe bijzonder hij is.

About Elvis

What life with Elvis looks like

Elvis is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen 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.
