Fien

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Fien is a found cat who can be a bit stressed. That's why she's safely hidden in a scratching post. She wasn't feeling like coming out either. She's not bad at all. When she's in a quiet spot, we can easily approach and pet her. But when it's very busy and you're a stranger, she doesn't like it. She's looking for a home without children and where it's very quiet. But also a new home where people have patience with her so she can get used to it and feel safe. Then it will definitely be okay with her. Our vet has estimated Fien to be around March 2025. We can tell she really wants to go outside. She should definitely have that possibility.

Fien is een gevonden poesje die wat gestrest kan zijn. Daarom zit zij ook veilig verstopt in een krabpaal. Zij had ook even geen zin om eruit te komen. Toch is zij ook zeker niet verkeerd. Als zij ergens rustig ligt kunnen wij haar heel goed benaderen en aaien. Maar als het erg druk is en u bent vreemd dan laat zij dit niet goed toe. Zij zoekt dan ook een huis zonder kinderen en waar het erg rustig is. Maar ook zeker een nieuw huis waar de mensen geduld met haar hebben zodat zij goed kan wennen en zich vertrouwt kan voelen. Dan komt het zeker goed met haar. Onze dierenarts heeft Fien ongeveer geschat op maart 2025. Wij kunnen wel aan haar zien dat zij heel graag naar buiten wil. Die mogelijkheid moet zij zeker hebben.

About Fien

What life with Fien looks like

Fien is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierencentrum De Mère 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 Fien, answered.

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