Adopt Guus

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Guus is a neutered tomcat around 2 years old. This sweet guy just needs some time to adjust but once he gains your trust, he really enjoys cuddling. Guus came to us with more cats because their owner could no longer take care of them. He has always been around many cats and is very social, so we would like to place him together with one of his friends (Tom, Purrito, and Sam) or with another social cat he can bond with. He is not happy alone. He is not used to small children, as he is not very familiar with them and tends to get excited easily, so we do not place him with small children, but older children are fine. He is not used to going outside, so he can be placed as an indoor cat, although he would enjoy taking a fresh nose on a safe balcony.

Guus is een kater gecastreerd van rond de 2 jaar oud. Deze lieve man heeft even de tijd nodig om te wennen maar eenmaal je vertrouwen wil hij erg graag kroelen. Guus is samen met nog meer katten bij ons gekomen omdat hun eigenaar niet goed meer voor ze kon zorgen. Hij is altijd met veel katten om zich heen geweest en erg sociaal, we plaatsen hem dan ook graag samen met 1 van zijn maatjes (Tom, Purrito en Sam) of bij een andere sociale kat waarmee hij kan optrekken. Alleen wordt hij niet gelukkig. Kleine kinderen is hij niet gewend, omdat hij niet zoveel gewend is en snel dingen spannend vind plaatsen we hem daarom niet bij kleine kinderen, oudere kan wel prima. Naar buiten gaan is hij niet gewend, hij kan goed als binnenkat geplaatst worden, wel zou hij het fijn vinden om op bijvoorbeeld op een veilig balkon een frisse neus te halen.

About Guus

What life with Guus looks like

Guus is a small young adult mixed breed animal waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem in Netherlands.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Guus far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇳🇱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 Guus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Guus?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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 — Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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 animals 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 Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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.
