How do I contact the shelter about Jos?

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

Can I adopt Jos if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenopvang Hart van Brabant 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 Jos 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 Jos 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 Dierenopvang Hart van Brabant early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jos 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.

Jos

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten

Jos is a playful, independent, and affectionate black and white cat with a funny face that immediately brings a smile to your face. With his soft fur and plump little body, he's perfect for cuddling. Jos is an active and sociable kitten. He enjoys playing alone with a mouse or a ball, but when he sees another kitten, he transforms into a playful ball of energy and loves to chase his playmates. Besides playing, Jos has a great love for food. He's a real foodie who knows exactly when the food bowl is filled. He can even multitask: eating and playing at the same time is no problem for Jos. A delicious meal is definitely number one in his diary. We are looking for a warm home for Jos where he can play, eat, and cuddle. Having another cat friend in the house would be great, but with enough attention and toys, he can also do well alone. Do you see this happy friend already in your home? Contact us now! This kitten is currently staying with a foster family. If you want to meet Jos, fill in the interest form: We will then contact you. If you want to adopt a kitten, we don't just choose a cat on a whim, so we take the time to ensure a good and careful match. For our shelter cats, we use a careful selection procedure. During an introduction, you meet the kitten, but also the foster family. Together, you look at whether there is a good match between you, your home situation, and the kitten. If the introduction is positive, the further administrative handling is arranged at the Animal Shelter (by appointment). You then make an appointment with the foster family to pick up the kitten. In this way, we ensure that every cat ends up in the right place for a loving and lasting future! Available from: August 21, 2026

Ras: Europese Korthaar Geboren: omstreeks 22 mei 2026 Medisch: gevaccineerd, gechipt, ontwormd, ontvlooid en men krijgt een verwijsbrief voor castratie mee Karakter: speels, onafhankelijk, lief Zindelijk: ja Herkomst: zwerver Docasoft nummer: 4124 Dit is Jos! Een vrolijke, zwart-witte kater met een grappig snoetje waar je meteen blij van wordt. Met zijn zachte vacht en lekkere bolle lijfje is hij echt gemaakt om mee te knuffelen. Jos is een actieve en gezellige kitten. Hij vermaakt zich prima in zijn eentje met een muisje of een balletje. Maar ziet hij een ander kitten? Dan gaat de knop om! Hij verandert meteen in een vrolijke spring-in-‘t-veld en rent het liefst achter zijn speelmaatjes aan. Naast spelen heeft Jos nog een grote liefde: eten. Hij is een echte smulpaap die precies weet wanneer de voerbak gevuld wordt. Hij kan zelfs multitasken: eten en spelen tegelijk is voor Jos geen probleem. Een lekker maaltje staat absoluut op nummer één in zijn dagboek. We zoeken voor Jos een warm thuis waar hij lekker kan spelen, snoepen en knuffelen. Een ander kattenmaatje in huis zou super zijn, maar met genoeg aandacht en speelgoed redt hij het ook prima alleen. Zie jij deze vrolijke vriend al bij jou rondlopen? Neem dan snel contact met ons op! Deze kitten verblijft op dit moment bij een gastgezin. Wil je kennismaken met Jos? Vul dan het belangstellingsformulier in: Daarna wordt er contact opgenomen. Wil je een kitten adopteren? Een kat kies je niet zomaar en daarom nemen wij de tijd om te zorgen voor een goede en zorgvuldige match. Voor onze asielkatten hanteren wij een zorgvuldige selectieprocedure. Tijdens een kennismaking ontmoet u de kitten, maar ook het gastgezin. Samen wordt bekeken of er een goede match is tussen u, uw thuissituatie en de kitten. Wanneer de kennismaking positief verloopt, wordt de verdere administratieve afhandeling geregeld bij de Dierenopvang (op afspraak). Met het gastgezin maakt u dan een afspraak om de kitten op te halen. Op deze manier zorgen we ervoor dat elke kat op de juiste plek terechtkomt voor een liefdevolle en blijvende toekomst! Plaatsbaar vanaf: 21 augustus 2026

About Jos

What life with Jos looks like

Jos is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenopvang Hart van Brabant 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.
