Maris

Mixed Breed · Female

Meet Maris, a 1.5-year-old tomcat who came to our shelter with his brother and sister. Unfortunately, the previous place could no longer provide proper care, so Moris is now living with us. Maris is a friendly and sweet cat, but he finds it very stressful here, which means his character hasn't been able to shine through yet. We expect that once he moves into a new safe home, he will find himself again with enough time. Since Maris came here with his brother and sister, Tijger and Chippie, he can be adopted together with these cats. What is especially important for Moris is a place where he can be given time and patience so that he can rediscover himself. Moris is used to other cats and dogs, but it's not wise to take him into the house if there are young children living there.

Ontmoet Maris, een kater van anderhalf die samen met zijn broertje en zusje bij ons in de opvang is gekomen. Bij zijn vorige plekje kon helaas de juiste zorg niet meer geboden worden, waardoor Moris nu even bij ons woont. Maris is een gezellige en lieve kater, maar hij vind het bij ons nog erg stressvol waardoor zijn karakter nog niet naar voren komt. Wel verwachten we dat zodra hij weer in een nieuw veilig huis terecht komt, hij met genoeg tijd zijn oude zelf weer zal terugvinden. Aangezien Maris hier met zijn broertje en zusje, Tijger en Chippie, is gekomen, kan hij samen met deze katten geadopteerd worden. Wat voor Moris vooral belangrijk is, is een plek waar hem tijd en geduld gegeven kan worden zodat hij zichzelf weer kan ontdekken. Moris is gewend aan andere katten en honden, maar het is niet verstandig om hem in huis te nemen wanneer er ook jonge kinderen wonen.

About Maris

What life with Maris looks like

Maris is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kat in Nood 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 Maris, answered.

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