Ice

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Lieve Ice was found wandering on the street in poor condition. After a difficult life on the streets, this sweet boy is not as demanding anymore, but it is very important that you are there for him a lot and that you keep your hands free to cuddle with him from time to time. During a dental check-up, some teeth were removed. Ice loves his wet food, something he values almost as much as human attention. A empty lap is an invitation, according to his rescuer. Ice is really a people's cat. He can also live with other cats, but they must be quiet cats. The same applies to a possible dog in the house. He can also live alone, but we are looking for someone who is at home a lot. Older children who understand how to treat a cat with respect will not be a problem. The most ideal picture for him is a home with a cat-proof balcony or garden.

Lieve Ice werd zwervend op straat en in slechte staat gevonden. Na een zwaar leven op straat is deze lieve jongen niet zo veeleisend meer, maar wel heel belangrijk is dat je er veel voor hem bent en dat je zo nu en dan je handen vrijhoudt om lekker met hem te knuffelen. Bij controle van zijn gebit zijn er enkele tanden verwijderd. Ice is dol op zijn natvoer, iets wat hij bijna net zoveel waardeert als menselijke aandacht. Een lege schoot is een uitnodiging, aldus zijn rescuer. Ice is dus echt een mensenkat. Met andere katten kan hij ook samenleven, maar dat moet dan wel een rustige kat zijn. Hetzelfde geldt voor een eventuele hond in huis. Als enige kat kan ook, echter zoeken we dan wel iemand die veel thuis is. Wat oudere kinderen die begrijpen hoe respectvol met een kat om te gaan zullen geen probleem zijn. Het meest ideale plaatje voor hem is een thuis met een catproof balkon of tuin.

About Ice

What life with Ice looks like

Ice is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Dogs on a Journey 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 Ice, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ice?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dogs on a Journey handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ice on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ice if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Dogs on a Journey 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ice 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 Ice 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 Dogs on a Journey early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ice 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.
