How do I contact the shelter about Guus?

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

Can I adopt Guus 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 Guus 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 Guus 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 Guus 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.

Guus

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 5 months

Guus is a beautiful and very sweet 5-month-old male cat. This incredibly sweet little boy is looking for very loving people who want to give him a very nice home. Guus came to us with his mother and his brother and sisters. Mama was immediately very sweet, but the little ones still needed to get used to everything. And it was great that they were welcomed into a loving foster home. The little ones quickly learned that people are really great, they like to play with you and they really like to cuddle with you. Guus loves to lie on his foster mother's lap, enjoys playing with her or his sister Lize, and Guus is ready to move. He would love to move with his sister, who he is crazy about. Guus gets along very well with other cats and can get used to dogs just fine. He will of course need to get used to his new life, but we think he will do this quickly. Guus welcomes you to come and meet him in his foster home. Then he can show you how nice he is. (His foster family lives in Buinen) We never place kittens alone, only with another kitten or if you already have another cat at home.

Guus; een prachtig en erg lief mannetje van rond de 5 maanden jong. En dit ontzettend lieve kereltje is op zoek naar hele lieve mensen die hem een heel fijn thuis willen bieden. Guus kwam, samen met zijn moeder en broertje en zusjes bij ons binnen. Mama was meteen ontzettend lief, maar de kleintjes moesten eerst nog even wennen aan alles. En het was dan ook geweldig dat zij welkom waren in een lief pleeggezin. Daar hebben de kleintjes al snel geleerd dat mensen echt geweldig zijn, zij graag met je spelen en helemaal graag met je willen knuffelen. Guus ligt inmiddels heel graag op schoot bij zijn pleegmoeder, geniet van volop met haar of met zijn zusje Lize spelen en Guus is er helemaal klaar voor om te gaan verhuizen. Het liefste natuurlijk met zijn zusje, waar hij stapelgek op is. Guus kan dus uitstekend met andere katten overweg en aan honden kan hij nog prima wennen. Hij zal natuurlijk eerst even moeten wennen aan zijn nieuwe leven, maar wij denken dat hij dit snel zal doen. Guus heet u van harte welkom om kennis te komen maken, in zijn pleeggezin. Dan kan hij zelf laten zien hoe leuk hij is. (Zijn pleeggezin woont in Buinen) Wij plaatsen kittens nooit alleen, enkel met een ander kitten samen of als u al een andere kat thuis hebt.

About Guus

What life with Guus looks like

Guus is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen 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.
