Adopt Mats & Olaf

Male · Kitten · 2 months

Character description of foster family: Mats & Olaf form a beautiful balance between calm and affectionate and playful and adventurous. Mats is a calm, gentle boy who knows how to win everyone's heart. Olaf, on the other hand, is a true troublemaker who loves going on adventures and knows how to motivate his brothers. With Olaf, there's always life in the brewery! Both boys thoroughly enjoy attention and are always open for a cuddle session at any time of the day. Content and already spinning, the boys lie on their laps or crawl along the legs. Besides their need for warmth, Mats and Olaf have a great time with some cat toys or each other. We are looking for a cozy, lively household for Mats and Olaf where someone is often at home and possibly already has children from 6 years old. The boys are placed together and can be kept as indoor cats or placed in an environment where they can eventually go outside to discover the green, peaceful surroundings.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Mats & Olaf vormen een prachtig balans tussen kalm en aanhankelijk én speels en ondernemend. Mats is een rustige, zachtaardige jongen die iedereens hart weet te veroveren. Olaf daarentegen, is een heuse druktemaker die graag op avontuur gaat en zijn broertjes goed weet te motiveren. Met Olaf is er altijd leven in de brouwerij! Beide jongens genieten volop van aandacht en staan op ieder moment van de dag open voor een knuffelsessie. Tevreden en al spinnend liggen de jongens op schoot of kroelen ze langs de benen. Naast hun behoefte aan warmte, vermaken Mats en Olaf zich prima met wat kattenspeeltjes of elkaar. We zoeken voor Mats en Olaf een gezellig, levendig huishouden waar vaak iemand thuis is en eventueel al kinderen vanaf 6 jaar oud aanwezig zijn. De jongens worden samen geplaatst en kunnen als binnenkatten gehouden worden of geplaatst worden in een omgeving waar ze uiteindelijk veilig naar buiten kunnen om de groene, rustige omgeving te ontdekken.

About Mats & Olaf

What life with Mats & Olaf looks like

Mats & Olaf is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇳🇱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 Mats & Olaf, answered.

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