Marshmallow

European Shorthair Β· Male Β· Adult Β· 4 years

Maak kennis met onze lieve Marshmallow! 🍑❀️ Deze knappe kater van 8 jaar is nog helemaal topfit en heeft ontzettend veel liefde te geven. Marshmallow is een echte kroelkont die het liefst lekker dicht bij je is. Aandacht, knuffels en gezelligheid? Daar maakt hij maar al te graag tijd voor! Marshmallow heeft wel een heel schattig eigenaardigheidje. Waarschijnlijk is hij vroeger iets te vroeg bij zijn moeder weggehaald, waardoor hij een sabbelgewoonte heeft ontwikkeld. Zo kan hij heerlijk sabbelen aan je armen, vingers, mouwen of zelfs aan een lekker zacht kleedje. Een beetje bijzonder, maar vooral ontzettend aandoenlijk! πŸ₯° Voor Marshmallow hoeft een tuin of buitenwereld niet zo nodig. Hij is een echte binnenkat en kan prima als binnenkat gehouden worden. Hij is een paar keer buiten geweest, maar daar wist hij eigenlijk niet zo goed wat hij moest doen. Sterker nog, de weg terug naar huis was hij dan ook even kwijt. Een veilig plekje binnenshuis is dus helemaal zijn ding! Marshmallow wordt helaas niet gelukkig van kleine kinderen. Kinderen vanaf 12 jaar passen beter bij hem. Voor deze lieve knuffelbeer zoeken we een fijn thuis waar hij volop mag genieten van alle aandacht en liefde die hij zo verdient.

About Marshmallow

What life with Marshmallow looks like

Marshmallow is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden in LC Leerdam.

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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±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 Marshmallow, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Marshmallow?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Marshmallow on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Marshmallow if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden 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 Marshmallow 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Marshmallow isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Marshmallow 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 β€” 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.
