Adopt Ivy

Old English Sheepdog · Female · Adult · 5 years

Meet Ivy, a beautiful 5-year-old cat. Ivy is a sweet and calm lady who prefers to first observe the cat in the tree. She is not a show-off and will not immediately put herself in the spotlight. Give her some time and space, and she will gradually reveal her soft and friendly nature. Ivy feels most comfortable in a quiet home where she can adjust at her own pace. She enjoys attention and company, but comes to it in a modest way. Her calm and gentle demeanor makes her very special. Are you looking for a sweet housemate who will grow into a nice friend with a little patience? Then Ivy might just be the perfect match.

Maak kennis met Ivy, een prachtige poes van 5 jaar oud. Ivy is een lieve en rustige dame die graag eerst de kat uit de boom kijkt. Ze is geen haantje-de-voorste en zal zichzelf niet direct op de voorgrond plaatsen. Geef je haar wat tijd en ruimte, dan laat ze steeds meer van haar zachte en vriendelijke karakter zien. Ivy voelt zich het prettigst in een rustig thuis waar ze op haar eigen tempo mag wennen. Ze geniet van aandacht en gezelschap, maar komt daar zelf op een bescheiden manier om vragen. Juist haar rustige en zachtaardige aard maakt haar zo bijzonder. Ben jij op zoek naar een lieve huisgenoot die met wat geduld zal uitgroeien tot een fijne vriendin? Dan zou Ivy zomaar eens de perfecte match kunnen zijn.

About Ivy

What life with Ivy looks like

Ivy is a adult old english sheepdog cat waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

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 Ivy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ivy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenopvangcentrum Breda 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 — Dierenopvangcentrum Breda 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 Dierenopvangcentrum Breda 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.
