Lotje

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

Meet Lotje, a friendly girl who is initially a bit reserved. She likes to take her time before showing herself completely. Lotje is definitely not a cat that immediately comes running up to you. She needs time to thaw and build trust. But give her that time and space, and you'll discover more and more of her sweet character. That's why we're looking for a quiet and patient home for Lotje, with people who understand that love sometimes starts with just waiting. No pressure, no expectations, but giving her the chance to come closer at her own pace. Children are possible for Lotje, but we're looking for a family with children from 12 years old who understand that Lotje has her own boundaries and can give her the peace and space she needs.

Maak kennis met Lotje, een vriendelijk meisje dat in het begin nog wat afwachtend is. Ze kijkt graag eerst even de kat uit de boom voordat ze zich helemaal laat zien. Lotje is zeker geen kat die meteen op je af komt rennen. Ze heeft tijd nodig om te ontdooien en vertrouwen op te bouwen. Maar geef je haar die tijd en ruimte, dan ontdek je steeds meer van haar lieve karakter. Daarom zoeken we voor Lotje een rustig en geduldig thuis, bij mensen die begrijpen dat liefde soms begint met gewoon even wachten. Geen druk, geen verwachtingen, maar haar de kans geven om op haar eigen tempo dichterbij te komen. Kinderen zijn voor Lotje mogelijk, maar we zoeken een gezin met kinderen vanaf 12 jaar die begrijpen dat Lotje haar eigen grenzen heeft en haar de rust en ruimte kunnen geven die ze nodig heeft.

About Lotje

What life with Lotje looks like

Lotje is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇳🇱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 Lotje, answered.

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