Fam

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Fam was very sick when he was rescued from the street. He was only two months old and could barely walk because he was so weak. He was malnourished and dehydrated, and at the shelter they didn't know whether he would survive, but he did, and now he is a sweet, healthy tomcat. His brother was found at the same time, but Lico was too wild, and he has since been released into a cat colony. He is fed and receives medical care when needed. Fam has come to the Netherlands. Fam is a very curious and playful kitten. He is social and easygoing, although he becomes a bit frightened around people he doesn't know. He enjoys being petted. In the shelter in the Netherlands he shows that he is a gentle animal. He was scared for quite a long time, but he now has quite a few chats with us. Fam does not really like being picked up. Perhaps he will get used to it. Fam likes to walk on his own little paws. He enjoys studying you. He lives together with other cats and is mainly friends with m

Fam was erg ziek toen hij van straat gehaald werd. Hij was net twee maanden oud en kon nauwelijks lopen omdat hij zo zwak was. Hij was ondervoed en uitgedroogd, in het asiel wisten ze niet of hij het zou overleven, maar dat deden hij wel en nu is het een lieve gezonde kater. Zijn broer werd tegelijk gevonden maar Lico was te wild, die is inmiddels uitgezet in een kattenkolonie. Hij wordt gevoerd en krijgt medische zorg als dat nodig is. Fam is naar Nederland gekomen. Fam is een heel nieuwsgierig en speels katje. Hij is sociaal en volgzaam, hoewel hij een beetje bang wordt bij mensen die hij niet kent. Hij vindt het fijn als je hem wil aaien. In de opvang in Nederland laat hij zien dat hij een zachtaardig dier is, hij is behoorlijk lang bang geweest, maar inmiddels heeft hij een boel praatjes. Fam houdt niet zo van optillen. Misschien went hij daaraan. Fam loopt graag op zijn eigen pootjes. Hij vindt het leuk om je te bestuderen. Hij leeft samen met andere katten en is vooral bevriend m

About Fam

What life with Fam looks like

Fam is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Zilver in —.

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 Fam, answered.

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