How do I contact the shelter about Ivy?

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 Ivy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Ivy 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 Ivy 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 Ivy 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 Ivy 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.

Ivy

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Ivy is a beautiful calico with a mischievous red streak across her nose. Isn't she a picture? I've had quite an adventure in my young life, but despite that, I thoroughly enjoy the attention and coziness of a home in my foster family. That's exactly what I'm looking for, but a home where I can stay forever. I love being close to you. Wherever you go, I'm usually there quickly. Snuggling on the couch is my favorite thing to do, but I also enjoy helping with the dishwasher or the litter box. Together with my brother Ivan and sisters Izzy and Iza, we have many adventures. We are curious, but a mouse is still my favorite. I'm used to children and I see the adult cat in the foster family as my role model.

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 make a profile for ourselves, but also for the animal. This includes: 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 Ivy, een mooi lapjesmeisje met een eigenwijze rode streep over mijn neus. Ben ik geen plaatje? Ik heb al heel wat meegemaakt in mijn jonge leventje, maar ondanks dat geniet ik in het gastgezin enorm van alle aandacht en de gezelligheid van een thuis. Precies waar ik naar op zoek ben, maar dan een thuis waar ik voor altijd kan blijven. Ik ben graag bij je in de buurt. Waar jij gaat, ben ik. Ga je even zitten, ben ik er meestal snel bij. Lekker knuffelen op de bank is wat ik graag doe, maar helpen met de vaatwasser of de kattenbak vind ik ook gezellig. Samen met mijn broer Ivan en zussen Izzy en Iza beleef ik veel avonturen. We vermaken ons met van alles, nieuwsgierig als we zijn, maar een muisje is toch wel mijn favoriet. Ik ben gewend aan kinderen en de volwassen poes in het gastgezin zie ik als mijn voorbeeld.

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 Ivy

What life with Ivy looks like

Ivy 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.
