How do I contact the shelter about Mae?

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

Can I adopt Mae if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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 Mae 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 Mae 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 Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mae 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.

Mae

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

This beautiful and sweet black and white cat came to us after being found. Unfortunately, no owner has reported and that is why we are now looking for a nice, quiet and loving home where she can be herself. She is a very sweet lady, but one who likes to take her time to observe before getting close. Give her the time to get used to you and win her trust, and a very nice and gentle character will emerge. A busy household with small children is not her thing. She prefers to have the place to herself: other cats are not an added value for her. A home without other cats would suit her best. She does not necessarily need to go outside. A safe and quiet place where she can occasionally get some fresh air, for example on a sheltered balcony, cat run or other safe outdoor space, would be very nice for her. Maybe her left ear also catches your eye. She often keeps this ear flat. This is the result of old injury or something that is congenital. Fortunately, she does not have any problems with it. For this sweet lady we are looking for peace, patience and a place where she does not have to be home alone all week. Who will give this special black and white cat the quiet, nice home she deserves?

Deze mooie en lieve zwart-witte poes kwam bij ons terecht nadat ze gevonden was. Helaas heeft zich geen eigenaar gemeld en daarom zijn we nu op zoek naar een fijn, rustig en liefdevol thuis waar ze helemaal zichzelf mag zijn. Ze is een ontzettend lieve dame, maar wel eentje die graag eerst even de kat uit de boom kijkt. Geef haar rustig de tijd om aan je te wennen en haar vertrouwen te winnen, en er komt een heel fijn en zachtaardig karakter tevoorschijn. Een druk huishouden met kleine kinderen is niet haar ding. Het liefst heeft ze het rijk ook helemaal voor zichzelf: andere katten zijn voor haar geen meerwaarde. Een thuis zonder andere katten past daarom het beste bij haar. Ze hoeft niet per se naar buiten. Een veilig en rustig plekje waar ze af en toe lekker een frisse neus kan halen, bijvoorbeeld op een beschut balkon, kattenren of andere veilige buitenruimte, zou ze wel erg fijn vinden. Misschien valt ook haar linker oortje op. Ze houdt dit vaak wat platter. Dit is het gevolg van oud letsel of iets wat aangeboren is. Gelukkig heeft ze hier verder geen last van. Voor deze lieve dame zoeken we vooral rust, geduld en een plekje waar ze niet de hele week alleen thuis hoeft te zijn. Wie geeft deze bijzondere zwart-witte poes het rustige, fijne thuis dat ze verdient?

About Mae

What life with Mae looks like

Mae is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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.
