Guus

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

This is Guus! Guus, Koulis and Lina used to live with an elderly lady who unfortunately is terminally ill in the hospital. Currently they are staying in her house under the care of a neighbor. They need a new, loving family. Guus is a playful and cuddly cat. He is gentle and affectionate and loves people and playful cats. He loves to join in the fun and play, cuddle, explore and participate in the daily routine. Guus is used to living with multiple cats and can also be alone, as long as he has company and shares interests. He wants to build a bond with his owners; he likes to sit with the volunteers and wants attention. Guus is playful and tender, he loves people and family life. He needs cat toys and scratching posts; he loves beds and rolling on his back. Guss is suitable for older children. He can be lifted by his family. At the moment he prefers to sit next to the volunteers rather than on someone's lap. Guus has a smaller right eye than his left eye, due to a past eye infection from cat flu. He is now healthy; the eye will remain smaller, but it does not cause him any problems. Guus is placed as an indoor cat only. Guus is neutered. Guus is vaccinated. Guus has tested negative for FIV/FeLV.

Dit is Guus! Guus, Koulis en Lina woonden voorheen bij een oudere dame die helaas terminaal ziek in het ziekenhuis ligt. Momenteel verblijven ze in haar huis onder de zorg van een buurvrouw. Ze hebben een nieuw, liefdevol gezin nodig. Guus is een speelse en knuffelige kat. Hij is zachtaardig en aanhankelijk en houdt van mensen en speelse katten. Hij vindt het heerlijk om mee te doen met de pret en te spelen, te knuffelen, te ontdekken en deel te nemen aan de dagelijkse routine. Guus is gewend om met meerdere katten samen te leven en kan ook prima alleen zijn, zolang hij maar gezelschap heeft en interesses deelt. Hij wil graag een band opbouwen met zijn baasjes; hij zit graag bij de vrijwilligers en wil aandacht. Guus is speels en teder, hij houdt van mensen en het gezinsleven. Hij heeft kattenspeeltjes en krabpalen nodig; hij is dol op mandjes en rollen op zijn rug. Guss is geschikt voor oudere kinderen. Hij kan door zijn familie worden opgetild. Op dit moment zit hij liever naast de vrijwilligers dan op schoot. Guus heeft een kleiner rechteroog dan zijn linkeroog, als gevolg van een ooginfectie door katteninfluenza in het verleden. Hij is nu gezond; het oog zal kleiner blijven, maar het geeft hem geen problemen. Guus wordt alleen als binnenkat geplaatst. Guus is gecastreerd. Guus is gevaccineerd. Guus is negatief getest op FIV/FeLV.

About Guus

What life with Guus looks like

Guus is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Mirtos Animal Project 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 Guus, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Guus?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Mirtos Animal Project 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 — Mirtos Animal Project 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 Mirtos Animal Project 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.
