How do I contact the shelter about Flipper?

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

Can I adopt Flipper 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 Flipper 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 Flipper 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 Flipper 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.

Flipper

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Flipper; a beautiful but especially very sweet boy of 1 year old. And for this darling we are looking for a quiet and nice place. Flipper came to us after his owner passed away. There was another cat in the same house, but that was very ill and we had to put it to sleep unfortunately. Flipper has lived with his owner and another cat and here in the shelter he shows that he can get along well with other cats. Flipper is initially a bit shy, he likes to hide and needs some time to get to know you. And once he knows you, you are his best friend. Then he comes to you, he comes to cuddle and becomes very happy with your company. He is just not so heroic, so to speak ;-). Flipper loves a quiet home and that is what we are looking for for him. A place where he has one or two owners, where he gets time to get used to, where he can go outside in the future (he is used to that), where there are nice and warm places where he can relax and a place where he can be very happy. Flipper is not used to dogs, but would live well with another cat. Would you like to meet this darling in person? You are very welcome!

Flipper; een prachtige maar vooral ook erg lieve knul van 1 jaar jong. En voor deze lieverd zijn wij op zoek naar een rustig en fijn plekje. Flipper is bij ons binnengekomen, nadat zijn baasje was overleden. Er was nog een kat in hetzelfde huis, maar die was heel ernstig ziek en die hebben we helaas in moeten laten slapen. Flipper heeft dus samengewoond met zijn baasje en een andere kat en ook hier in de opvang laat hij zien dat hij prima met andere katten overweg kan. Flipper is in de eerste instantie wat verlegen, hij verstopt zich graag en heeft even de tijd nodig om je te leren kennen. En als hij je dan eenmaal kent, dan ben je zijn beste vriend. Dan komt hij bij je, komt hij knuffelen en wordt hij helemaal gelukkig van je gezelschap. Hij is gewoon niet zo heldhaftig zeg maar ;-). Flipper houdt dus van een rustig thuis en dat is dan ook wat wij voor hem zoeken. Een plekje waar hij bijvoorbeeld één of twee baasjes heeft, waar hij de tijd krijgt om te wennen, waar hij in de toekomst ook naar buiten mag (dat is hij namelijk gewend), waar er fijne en warme plekje zijn waar hij heerlijk kan luieren en een plekje waar hij heel gelukkig mag worden. Flipper is niet gewend aan honden, maar zou dus wel prima met een andere kat samen kunnen wonen. Wilt u deze lieverd eens in levenden lijve komen ontmoeten? Wees dan van harte welkom!

About Flipper

What life with Flipper looks like

Flipper is a young 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.
