Japie

Male

Meet Japie, a male cat estimated to be almost 3 years old. He came to us because the person who reported him said a car had hit him, but fortunately he wasn't hurt. A veterinary examination also found no injuries. However, no one has claimed him as their own. So he's now looking for a new home. Japie can be a bit shy at first, but he's really a cuddle bug. The vet has found that he has mild tartar buildup, but it's not severe enough to require a cleaning under anesthesia. The advice is to brush his teeth if he allows it or give him dental kibble.

Maak kennis met Japie, een kater van bijna 3 geschatte lentes jong. Hij is bij ons binnengekomen omdat volgens de melder een auto over hem heen gereden zou zijn, gelukkig is hij uiteindelijk hierbij niet geraakt. Uit dierenarts onderzoek zijn ook geen verwondingen gebleken. Er heeft zich echter alleen geen eigenaar meer voor hem gemeld. Zodoende mag hij nu opzoek naar een nieuw huisje. Japie kan in het begin ietwat verlegen zijn, maar verder is het wel echt een knuffelkont. De dierenarts heeft geconstateerd dat hij lichtjes tandsteen heeft, maar dat het nog niet voldoende is om hem hiervoor onder narcose te brengen om al te reinigen. Het advies is wel om tandjes te poetsen als hij dit toelaat of dental brokken te geven.

About Japie

What life with Japie looks like

Japie is a adult 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 Japie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Japie?
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 Japie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Japie 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 Japie 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 Japie 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 Japie 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.
