Mallory

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Mallory's life began with a difficult start. She was only three weeks old when her stray mother disappeared and left her behind. Fortunately, she was rescued in time and has since grown into a smart, independent young lady with a big personality and an even bigger appetite. Mallory is confident and curious. She is not overly affectionate and can be alone while her human is away, as long as she has a cozy corner, a few toys, and something to snack on. She enjoys attention, but always on her own terms. As soon as she decides to come to you, she will richly reward your patience with her gentle presence. Her greatest passion is food. Mallory loves it, especially raw meat. She gets so excited about it that handling meat in her presence can sometimes be a bit challenging—those enthusiastic teeth don't make a distinction between a piece of meat and your fingers. Her future family must therefore be careful when giving food and treats. She loves the company of other cats, but also values her independence. Mallory is a great match for a friendly, playful but independent cat. If there is no suitable cat friend waiting for her at home, she can take one of her trusted foster friends with her. She gets along especially well with MacDuff, Marie, Nitzura, and Stella. Due to her strong focus on food, Mallory is not suitable for households with young children. She would be happiest in a quiet house with adults or older children. She also knows dogs and can live peacefully with a friendly and respectful dog. Ideally, she would have access to a safe garden, balcony, or terrace where she can enjoy the fresh air, observe the world, and chase leaves and insects. Mallory can be temporarily taken into care to increase her adoption chances, or she can immediately move to her forever home. Could this smart little queen brighten up your life?

Mallory’s leven begon met een moeilijke start. Ze was nog maar drie weken oud toen haar zwerfmoeder verdween en haar achterliet. Gelukkig werd ze op tijd gered en is ze inmiddels uitgegroeid tot een slimme, zelfstandige jonge dame met een grote persoonlijkheid en een nog grotere eetlust. Mallory is zelfverzekerd en nieuwsgierig. Ze is niet overdreven aanhankelijk en kan prima alleen zijn terwijl haar mens weg is, zolang ze een gezellig hoekje, een paar speeltjes en iets om op te snacken heeft. Ze geniet van aandacht, maar altijd op haar eigen voorwaarden. Zodra ze besluit naar je toe te komen, zal ze je geduld rijkelijk belonen met haar zachte aanwezigheid. Haar grootste passie is eten. Mallory is er dol op, vooral op rauw vlees. Ze raakt er zo enthousiast van dat het hanteren van vlees in haar bijzijn soms wat uitdagend kan zijn—die enthousiaste tandjes maken geen onderscheid tussen een stukje vlees en je vingers. Haar toekomstige familie moet daarom voorzichtig zijn bij het geven van eten en traktaties. Ze houdt van het gezelschap van andere katten, maar waardeert ook haar zelfstandigheid. Mallory is een geweldige match voor een vriendelijke, speelse maar zelfstandige kat. Als er thuis nog geen geschikte kattenvriend op haar wacht, kan ze één van haar vertrouwde pleegvrienden meenemen. Ze gaat vooral goed om met MacDuff, Marie, Nitzura en Stella. Vanwege haar sterke focus op eten is Mallory niet geschikt voor huishoudens met jonge kinderen. Ze zou het gelukkigst zijn in een rustig huis met volwassenen of oudere kinderen. Ze kent ook honden en kan vredig samenleven met een vriendelijke en respectvolle hond. Ideaal zou ze toegang hebben tot een veilige tuin, balkon of terras waar ze van de frisse lucht kan genieten, de wereld kan observeren en achter bladeren en insecten kan aanjagen. Mallory kan tijdelijk in opvang worden opgenomen om haar adoptiekansen te vergroten, of ze kan meteen verhuizen naar haar forever home. Zou deze slimme kleine koningin jouw leven kunnen opvrolijken?

About Mallory

What life with Mallory looks like

Mallory is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Dogs on a Journey 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 Mallory, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mallory?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dogs on a Journey handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mallory on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mallory if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Dogs on a Journey 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Mallory 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 Mallory 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 Dogs on a Journey early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mallory 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.
