How do I contact the shelter about Escobar?

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 Escobar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Escobar 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 Escobar 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 Escobar 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 Escobar 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.

Escobar

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Hoi, ik ben Escobar! Since I recently moved in with a foster family, I'm really enjoying my time there. I love being close to my foster mom and follow her around the house. I don't really like being held, but I do like lying on the couch next to her and purring loudly to show her how much I'm enjoying myself. She doesn't think I'd be a good match for small children because when I'm cuddling, I sometimes give very gentle love bites. These are really soft, but small children might get scared. Big kids are no problem. I find the big dog in the foster home a bit intimidating, but a calm dog that interacts with me nicely should be fine. Do you think you'd like a cat like me? Then I hope we can meet soon! Gender: Male, Castrated/Neutered: Yes, Age: Kitten, Can live with other cats: Yes, Can live with other dogs: Variable, Can live with children: Yes, only with big kids, Type of cat: Indoor & Outdoor cat More information? For more information or to find out if this kitten is right for you and to schedule an introduction, please contact our adoption coordinator by phone at 06 58 74 85 39. I want to adopt a kitten, how does it work? Have you seen a kitten that caught your eye? You can let us know by calling the kitten coordinator. We'll look at what you have to offer and whether it fits the animal. This way, every animal comes with its own story. During their stay in our shelter, we create a profile for ourselves, but also for the animal, including: character, health, necessary living conditions, and specific needs. This way, we can give the animals the best care and 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'll ask you a lot of questions so we can make the right match.

Hoi, ik ben Escobar! Sinds kort verblijf ik in een gastgezin waar ik het erg naar mijn zin heb. Ik ben graag bij mijn pleegmama in de buurt en volg haar door het hele huis heen. Op schoot liggen doe ik niet heel veel, maar ik ga graag vlak bij haar op de bank liggen en ga dan heel hard spinnen om te laten horen dat ik het naar mijn zin heb. Ze denkt niet dat ik met kleine kinderen een match ben, omdat ik als ik aan het knuffelen ben soms heel voorzichtig liefdesbeetjes geef. Dit is echt heel zachtjes, maar kleine kinderen zouden hier wel van kunnen schrikken. Grote kinderen zijn geen probleem. De grote hond in het gastgezin vind ik nog wel wat spannend, maar een rustige hond die netjes met mij om gaat zal waarschijnlijk geen probleem zijn. Zie jij zo’n gezellige kater als ik wel zitten? Dan hoop ik je snel te ontmoeten! Geslacht Kater Gecastreerd / Gesteriliseerd Ja Leeftijdsfase Kitten Kan met (andere) katten Ja Kan met (andere) honden Wisselend Kan met kinderen Ja, alleen met grote kinderen 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 Escobar

What life with Escobar looks like

Escobar 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.
