Koos

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Koos is een oude bekende van ons, als kitten is hij bij ons binnen gebracht en vrij snel uitgeplaatst. Hieronder volgt het verhaal van de oud eigenaar. Koos is een erg lieve, aanhankelijke en ondernemende kater met een sterk karakter. Hij is 3 jaar. Koos is dol op knuffels en kan heerlijk op schoot in slaap vallen. Momenteel woont hij samen met 3 zeer zachtaardige katten in een huis waar hij in een ruime kattenren naar buiten kan. Helaas is dit niet de ideale situatie en heeft hij meer nodig. Voor Koos zou het goed zijn als hij, op een veilige plek, naar buiten zou kunnen en lekker zou kunnen struinen, rennen en klimmen! Contact met mensen is erg belangrijk voor hem. Je krijgt altijd een kopje als bedankje voor een gevulde voerbak. Hij is erg nieuwsgierig en kijkt graag over de schutting als hij wat hoort bij de buren! In huis ben je Koos niet snel kwijt want hij is graag bij je in de buurt. De combinatie van het sterke karakter van Koos en de zachtaardige huisgenoten is niet goed. Hij jaagt 2 van de 3 katten op. Agressief is hij niet, maar de anderen voelen zich niet veilig. Hij accepteert de leiding van één van de poesjes wel goed. Hij is dol op vliegen vangen, maar kan dit niet heel goed😄 Koos houdt niet van autorijden en poept en plast dan in de reismand. Hij is bekend met kinderen vanaf 6 jaar.

About Koos

What life with Koos looks like

Koos is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Flappus in Netherlands.

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 Koos, answered.

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