Houdini

Mixed Breed · Female

Came in with a trap, Houdini was supposed to be wild and scared, well she was scared but definitely not wild. We gave her some rest and there she was, a easygoing, sweet and playful lady. After her spaying she really came out of her shell, very friendly with people as well as other cats. So this nice young cat is looking for a home where she is welcome, where she can eventually have a garden or a yard around the house, she is not suitable for an apartment without a balcony. Children are fine with her, she likes company and some activity.

Gevangen met een vangkooi kwam Houdini bij ons binnen ze zou wild zijn en bang, nou bang was ze wel maar wild zeker niet. We gaven haar wat rust en daar was ze, een makkelijke lieve speelse dame. Na haar sterilisatie kwam ze helemaal los, heel gezellig in de omgang naar mens maar ook naar andere katten. Dus deze knappe nog jonge poes is op zoek naar een thuis waar ze welkom is, waar ze uiteindelijk wel in een tuin kan of een blokje om het huis, ze is niet geschikt voor een appartement zonder balkon. Kinderen vind ze prima ze houd wel van gezelligheid en wat drukte.

About Houdini

What life with Houdini looks like

Houdini is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Flappus 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 Houdini, answered.

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