Lotje

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Estimated age: June 2022 Medical: vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, and spayed. Character: see description! Litter-trained: yes Origin: stray Docanr: 1836 Lotje was found in a shed along with her five kittens. She was a wonderful and protective mother in her foster home, but now that her little ones have grown up, it’s time for her to find her own happiness. Lotje is an independent, curious lady with a strong character who isn’t easily impressed by anything. She likes to go her own way, but she’ll definitely seek you out for some company. When she’s lying calmly relaxing, she thoroughly enjoys having her chin or head gently stroked. Sometimes she even rolls onto her back just for you, paws in the air, or snuggles comfortably on her side next to you. When she’s roaming around, she loves being near you—but she’d rather not be petted or picked up. We’re looking for a quiet home for her, one without children and without dogs, where she’ll have plenty of space to do her own thing. We’re looking for an owner with cat experience who’s seeking a cozy, independent kitten. Not a cuddly lap cat, but one who enjoys your company and occasionally loves a gentle stroke. After a good adjustment period, she’d really love to go outside. Would you like to meet Lotje? Please indicate this via the form. We’ll then get in touch with you to arrange an appointment. An introduction without an appointment is not possible. You don’t just choose a cat on a whim; that’s why we have a strict selection process for our shelter cats. During the first meeting, a cat won’t be placed immediately. Furthermore, we’d like to meet the entire family. At the shelter, you’ll have all the time you need to get to know the cat and ask our staff any questions you may have. After a positive initial meeting, a second appointment will follow, and further arrangements will be made.

Geschatte leeftijd: juni 2022 Medisch: gevaccineerd, gechipt, ontwormd, ontvlooid en gesteriliseerd. Karakter: zie omschrijving! Zindelijk: ja Herkomst: zwerver Docanr: 1836 Lotje werd met haar vijf kittens in een schuurtje gevonden. Ze was een fantastische en beschermende moeder in haar gastgezin, maar nu haar kleintjes groot zijn, is het tijd voor haar eigen geluk. Lotje is een zelfstandige, nieuwsgierige dame met een sterk karakter. Ze gaat graag haar eigen gang, maar zoekt je zeker op voor gezelligheid. Als ze rustig ligt te ontspannen, geniet ze intens van een kroel onder haar kin of over haar hoofdje. Vaak rolt ze zelfs speciaal voor jou op haar rug met haar pootjes in de lucht, of komt ze gezellig op haar zij naast je liggen. Als ze rondloopt, is ze graag bij je in de buurt. We zoeken voor haar een rustig thuis zonder kinderen en zonder honden, waar ze de ruimte krijgt om lekker haar eigen gang te kunnen gaan. Een baasje, met kattenervaring, die op zoek is naar een gezellig zelfstandig katje die graag bij je in de buurt is en af en toe kan genieten van een kroeltje. Na een goede wenperiode wil ze heel graag naar buiten kunnen. Wil je kennismaken met Lotje? Geef dit aan via het formulier. Daarna nemen wij contact op voor het maken van een afspraak. Zonder afspraak is een kennismaking niet mogelijk. Een kat kies je niet zomaar, wij hebben dan ook een strenge selectie voor onze asielkatten. Tijdens een eerste kennismaking wordt een kat niet geplaatst. Verder willen wij kennismaken met het hele gezin. Je kunt op het asiel alle tijd nemen om kennis te maken en vragen te stellen aan onze medewerkers. Na een positieve eerste kennismaking volgt een tweede afspraak en worden verder afspraken gemaakt.

About Lotje

What life with Lotje looks like

Lotje is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvang Hart van Brabant 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 Lotje, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lotje?
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 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 — 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 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 Dierenopvang Hart van Brabant 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.
