Guus

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Guus came to Cat in Need with his mother and two brothers when they were very young. The first few days, the kittens were bottle-fed because their mother did not have enough milk. After a few days, their mother had enough milk and the kittens were strong enough to drink on their own. Then they went to a foster home. Guus is the leader of the three brothers. He was the first at everything and was the first to try new things. A true explorer who also loves attention and playing. At the foster home, the three brothers grew up with other cats, dogs, and children. They will need to get used to another cat, but it is expected that it will be fine afterwards. They still find dogs a bit scary. They can get along well with children. We expect they will adapt well to different situations. Guus would like to move in with one of his brothers, or with his mother Gina (see adult cats).

Guus kwam met zijn moeder en 2 broertjes bij Kat in Nood toen ze nog heel klein waren. De eerste dagen zijn de kittens met de fles bijgevoerd omdat moeder niet voldoende melk had. Na een paar dagen had moeder genoeg melk, en waren de kittens ook voldoende aangesterkt om zelf te drinken. Toen zij ze naar een gastgezin gegaan. Guus is het haantje de voorste van de 3 broertjes. Hij was met alles het eerste en durfde ook als eerste van alles. Een echte ontdekkingsreiziger die ook erg van aandacht en spelen houdt. Bij het gastgezin zijn de drie broertjes opgegroeid met andere katten, honden en kinderen. Aan een andere kat zouden ze even moeten wennen, maar de verwachting is dat het daarna prima zal gaan. Honden vinden ze nu nog wel wat spannend. Ze kunnen prima samen met kinderen. Wij verwachten dat ze zich in verschillende situaties goed aan kunnen passen. Guus zou graag samen met één van zijn broertjes, of samen met zijn moeder Gina (zie onder volwassen katten) willen verhuizen.

About Guus

What life with Guus looks like

Guus is a very small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Kat in Nood 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.

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. Kat in Nood 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 — Kat in Nood 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 Kat in Nood 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.
