Henk

Mixed Breed · Male

This is Henk, an enterprising, playful and social little boy. Henk loves to play, especially with his fellow cats or toys are just fine for him too. He likes to be close to you and therefore likes to come up to you on your lap or lie down next to you to sleep. Children, dogs and other cats are no problem for Henk, we would even like to place him together with or next to a fellow cat.

Dit is Henk, een ondernemend, speels en sociaal mannetje. Henk is gek op spelen vooral samen met soortgenootjes of speeltjes zijn voor hem ook helemaal prima. Hij is graag bij je in de buurt en komt daarom graag bij je op schoot of naast je liggen slapen. Kinderen, honden en andere katten zijn voor Henk geen probleem, we zouden hem zelfs graag samen met of bij een soortgenootje plaatsen.

About Henk

What life with Henk looks like

Henk is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at DOC Oldenzaal 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 Henk, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Henk?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. DOC Oldenzaal handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Henk on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Henk if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — DOC Oldenzaal 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 Henk 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 Henk 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 DOC Oldenzaal early rather than rehoming privately; they know Henk 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.
