Maupie

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 3 years

Hi everyone, my name is Maupie! I'm a sweet cat who doesn't like too much fuss. I can really enjoy pets and attention, but I also love to take a nap in my bed and retreat a bit. I find new situations a bit exciting and then I need to get used to it, but once I know it's good, I'm a relaxed young man and a companion for life!

NL·Show original

Hoi allemaal, mijn naam is Maupie! Ik ben een lieve kater die niet houdt van teveel drukte. Ik kan ontzettend genieten van aaitjes een aandacht, maar vindt het ook heerlijk om een tukkie te doen in mijn mandje, en me een beetje terug te trekken. Nieuwe situaties vindt ik soms wat spannend en dan moet ik even wennen, maar als ik eenmaal weet dat het goed is ben een relaxte jonge man, en een maatje voor het leven!

About Maupie

What life with Maupie looks like

Maupie is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Maupie, answered.

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