JOY

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Gezocht veilig uitsluitend binnen in appartement of flat boven. Met of zonder balkon. Geen begane grond. Ook uw voordeur is niet aan de begane grond. Joy is ongeveer 3 1/2jr. (gerekend januari 2025) Ze verblijft op straat in Bulgarije en is daardoor niet veilig. Ze wordt gevoerd door een vrouw in een flat en ze hangt dan ook wel rond in dat trappenhuis en appartement. Ze is vriendelijk, aanhankelijk, speels en gewend aan katten en honden. Komt gesteriliseerd, geënt, gechipt, met paspoort naar u toe. Wordt door de Bulgaarse transporteur op locatie in Tiel gebracht. Alleen wanneer we weinig dieren voor transport hebben gaat de transporteur naar Geldrop. U moet in ieder geval beschikken over eigen vervoer om de kat dan van het transport te halen. Reist met officiële EU Traces documenten. Deze zijn uw bewijs dat de kat legaal is geïmporteerd en getransporteerd volgens de regelgeving van de EU en overheid. Wordt geplaatst door stichting NKM Dog & Cat Rescue Team

About JOY

What life with JOY looks like

JOY is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Stichting NKM Dog & Cat Rescue Team in Tiel (NL-wide).

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 JOY, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about JOY?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting NKM Dog & Cat Rescue Team handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw JOY on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt JOY if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting NKM Dog & Cat Rescue Team 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 JOY 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 JOY 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 Stichting NKM Dog & Cat Rescue Team early rather than rehoming privately; they know JOY 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.
