How do I contact the shelter about Ivan?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ivan on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ivan if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard 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 Ivan 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 Ivan 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 Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ivan 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.

Ivan

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

I am Ivan, an energetic fellow. I can't decide what I like best: eating, cuddling, or playing? My 3 sisters and I have a great time in our foster home. We love to play, run around, and I'm always busy. I'm very curious and love to explore. I usually take my sisters along, because as a brave tomcat, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm used to children and also see the adult cat in the foster home as a fun playmate. When I'm finally tired, I love to come up to you for a long cuddle session. You can also call me a cuddly cat. I'm looking for a nice home where I can use up my energy, preferably with a cheerful companion to share many adventures with.

For more information or if this kitten is suitable for you and to schedule an introduction, please contact our adoption coordinator by phone on 06 58 74 85 39. I want to adopt a kitten, how does that work? Have you seen a kitten that has caught your eye? You can let us know by calling the kitten coordinator. We look at what you have to offer and whether it fits the animal. In this way, every animal comes with its own story. During their stay in our shelter, we create a profile for ourselves, but also for the animal, including: character, health, necessary living conditions and specific needs. In this way, we can give the animals the best care and we also know what the animal needs in its new home. The first intake for a kitten or cat is done by having a phone conversation. We then ask you 'the skin off your back' so we can make the right match.

Ik ben Ivan, een energieke kerel. Ik kan niet zo goed kiezen waar ik gekker op ben: eten, knuffelen of spelen? Mijn 3 zussen en ik vermaken ons opperbest in ons gastgezin. Stoeien, rennen, ik ben er maar druk mee. Ik ben heel nieuwsgierig en ga graag op ontdekking. Meestal neem ik mijn zussen op sleeptouw, want als stoere kater ben ik natuurlijk nergens bang van. Ik ben gewend aan kinderen en ook de volwassen poes in het gastgezin zie ik als een leuke speelvriendin. Als ik dan eindelijk moegespeeld ben kom ik graag bij je op schoot voor een uitgebreide knuffelsessie. Je kunt me ook gerust een knuffelkater noemen. Ik ben op zoek naar een fijn thuis waar ik goed mijn energie kwijt kan, het liefst met een vrolijke soortgenoot om samen veel avonturen mee te beleven.

Voor meer informatie of deze kitten voor jou geschikt is en voor het inplannen van een kennismaking, neem telefonisch contact op met onze adoptie coördinator op 06 58 74 85 39. Ik wil kitten adopteren, hoe werkt dat? Heb je een kitten gezien die jouw interesse heeft gewekt? Je kunt jouw interesse kenbaar maken door te bellen met de kittencoördinator. Er wordt gekeken naar wat je te bieden hebt en of dat past bij het dier. Zo komt elk dier binnen met een eigen verhaal. Gedurende het verblijf in ons asiel brengen we voor onszelf, maar ook voor het dier, een profiel in kaart. Hierbij is te denken aan: karakter, gezondheid, nodige leefomstandigheden en specifieke behoeften. Op deze manier kunnen wij de dieren de beste zorg geven en weten wij ook wat het dier nodig heeft in zijn nieuwe huis. De eerste intake voor een kitten of kat gebeurt door het voeren van een telefoongesprek. We vragen je dan ook ‘de hemd van het lijf’ zodat we de juiste match kunnen maken.

About Ivan

What life with Ivan looks like

Ivan is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvangtehuis De Bommelerwaard 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.
