How do I contact the shelter about Kitty?

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

Can I adopt Kitty if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierencentrum De Mère 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 Kitty 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 Kitty 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 Dierencentrum De Mère early rather than rehoming privately; they know Kitty 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.

Kitty

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Hi, I'm Kitty. I was born on May 9, 2026 and was found. Since July, I've been waiting here for someone who wants to give me a home. I'm a bit reserved. If you come to me, I won't run excitedly up to you right away. I find it all a bit scary and just need some time to get to know you. But that doesn't mean I'm not sweet or don't want attention. I do, but I just don't dare right away. I notice that people often look for a kitten that comes right to you, jumps on your lap and demands all the attention right away. But I'm not like that. Should I just keep waiting? I hope not... Please give me the chance to build trust at my own pace. With some patience and love, I think I can become a very nice companion. Maybe I'm not the cat that comes right to you, but maybe I'm just the cat who will eventually be very grateful because you gave me that chance. Who looks beyond my first introduction and finally gives me a place of my own?

Mag ik dan echt nog steeds wachten? Hoi, ik ben Kitty. Ik ben geboren op 9 mei 2026 en ben gevonden. Sinds juli wacht ik hier al op iemand die mij een eigen thuis wil geven. Ik ben een beetje terughoudend. Als je bij mij komt, ren ik niet meteen enthousiast op je af. Ik vind het allemaal nog een beetje spannend en heb gewoon wat tijd nodig om je te leren kennen. Maar dat betekent echt niet dat ik niet lief ben of geen aandacht wil. Ik wil wel, maar ik durf gewoon niet meteen. Ik merk dat mensen vaak op zoek zijn naar een katje dat direct naar je toe komt, op schoot springt en meteen alle aandacht opeist. Maar ik ben nu eenmaal niet zo. Moet ik daarom dan maar blijven wachten? Ik hoop het toch niet… Geef mij alsjeblieft de kans om op mijn eigen tempo vertrouwen op te bouwen. Met wat geduld en liefde denk ik dat ik een heel fijn maatje kan worden. Misschien ben ik niet de kat die meteen op je af komt, maar misschien ben ik juist wel de kat die je uiteindelijk heel dankbaar is omdat je mij die kans hebt gegeven. Wie kijkt er verder dan alleen mijn eerste kennismaking en geeft mij eindelijk een eigen plekje?

About Kitty

What life with Kitty looks like

Kitty is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Dierencentrum De Mère 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.
