Luana

Female

Luana is one of several cats that came to our shelter because her previous owner could no longer care for them. Luana is a very sensitive cat who is currently still very anxious. She prefers to spend most of the day in a safe place, often hiding in her carrier. New situations and unfamiliar people are very exciting for her. We are therefore looking for a quiet and patient home for Luana, without too many stimuli. Her future owner must give her time to build trust at her own pace. With Luana you have to think in months rather than days or weeks. She will probably hide for a long time before she feels safe enough to cautiously explore. We want to give Luana a loving home where nothing is expected of her and where she has all the space to be herself. With patience, understanding and peace we hope that she will eventually discover that people can also offer safety and love.

Luana is samen met meerdere andere katten bij ons in het asiel terechtgekomen, omdat haar vorige eigenaar helaas niet langer voor hen kon zorgen. Luana is een zeer gevoelige poes die op dit moment nog erg angstig is. Ze brengt het grootste deel van de dag het liefst door op een veilig plekje, (vaak verscholen in haar carrier). Nieuwe situaties en onbekende mensen zijn voor haar erg spannend. Voor Luana zijn we daarom op zoek naar een rustig en geduldig thuis, zonder al te veel prikkels. Haar toekomstige eigenaar moet haar de tijd geven om in haar eigen tempo vertrouwen op te bouwen. Bij Luana moet je denken in maanden in plaats van dagen of weken. Ze zal zich waarschijnlijk lange tijd verstoppen voordat ze zich veilig genoeg voelt om voorzichtig op ontdekking te gaan. We gunnen Luana een liefdevol thuis waar niets van haar wordt verwacht en waar ze alle ruimte krijgt om zichzelf te zijn. Met veel geduld, begrip en rust hopen we dat ze uiteindelijk zal ontdekken dat mensen ook veiligheid en liefde kunnen bieden.

About Luana

What life with Luana looks like

Luana is a adult cat waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

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 Luana, answered.

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