manou

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 2 years

Manou is a 2-year-old sweet and loving cat who is looking for a quiet and loving home. Manou came to us with her kittens. She has been a great mother and has taken very good care of her little ones. Now that her job as a mother is done, it's time for her to find a nice place for herself. ❤️ Manou is a bit shy and reserved at first. She needs some time to get to know you and gain your trust. But once she knows you're good, her sweet nature comes out more and more. Then she lets you pet her and enjoys the attention. 🥰 For Manou, we are looking for a quiet household where she can get used to her own pace. A little patience and understanding will do wonders for her. Manou is used to going outside, so we are looking for a home where she can safely go outside. A quiet place where she can come back inside after her adventures to enjoy her familiar people. Who will give this sweet, modest lady the time to become herself? Maybe Manou is exactly the companion you're looking for! 🐱❤️

🐾 Manou zoekt een rustig en liefdevol thuis 🐾 Maak kennis met de lieve Manou van 2 jaar oud. Manou kwam bij ons binnen samen met haar kittens. Ze heeft haar kleintjes ontzettend lief en goed verzorgd. Nu haar taak als mama erop zit, is het tijd voor haar om zelf een fijn plekje te vinden. ❤️ Manou is in het begin wat verlegen en terughoudend. Ze heeft even tijd nodig om je te leren kennen en vertrouwen te krijgen. Maar als ze eenmaal weet dat het goed zit, komt haar lieve karakter steeds meer naar voren. Dan laat ze zich heerlijk aanhalen en geniet ze zichtbaar van de aandacht. 🥰 Voor Manou zoeken we een rustig huishouden, waar ze de tijd krijgt om op haar eigen tempo te wennen. Een beetje geduld en begrip doen bij haar wonderen. Manou is gewend om naar buiten te gaan en daarom zoeken we een thuis waar ze veilig naar buiten kan. Een rustig plekje waar ze na haar avontuur lekker weer naar binnen kan komen om te genieten van haar vertrouwde mensen. Wie geeft deze lieve, bescheiden dame de tijd om helemaal zichzelf te worden? Misschien is Manou wel precies het maatje waar jij naar op zoek bent! 🐱❤️

About manou

What life with manou looks like

manou is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dierencentrum De Mère in Netherlands.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇳🇱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 manou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about manou?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierencentrum De Mère handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw manou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt manou if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierencentrum De Mère 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 manou already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs 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 manou 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 Dierencentrum De Mère early rather than rehoming privately; they know manou 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.
