Mavi

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Mavi: a very special 4-month-old girl who is looking for a golden basket. Mavi was found by us and had her thoughts about people. She absolutely did not want anything to do with us and let us know in every way. One of the regular employees has spent hours with her and she is now seeing a very different girl emerge. She is certainly not a people person and never will be, but we think now is the time for her to look for a new home, where she can give her heart anew. Mavi is a small and feisty lady who certainly has her own opinion, but that also makes her very fun. When she hears her regular caregiver, she starts purring and is then completely satisfied. Depending on the activity in and around the room, she also comes and then walks around, gives head bumps, purrs and finds it nice when she gets attention! She also likes liquid and is then very quickly satisfied! But Mavi is also a girl who has given her heart to one person here and does not necessarily feel the need to open her little heart to many other people. She does not feel the need for contact with them and just ignores them and if they insist, she will let you know how she feels about it. And this is complicated, but Mavi has shown that she can learn to trust someone and that she is really a sweetheart then! And that is why we think it is time for her to look for a little house. Mavi loves other cats and likes to lie with them. She also gets support from them when she finds it a bit tense and that is why we are looking for a place for her with or with another cat/kitten. She finds dogs very scary and that is why we do not place her with dogs. Also, a household with children is just too much for her right now. For Mavi, we are looking for 1 or 2 sweet and patient people who want to go all out for her. Who understand that she may not feel the need to make extensive acquaintance with you during the visit. And that she needs time in her new home to learn to trust you. That you always sit down for a while, so she gets to know you and knows that you really won't do anything to her. Then she will undoubtedly open her heart again and you will get a very cute, sweet and quickly satisfied girl back!

Mavi: een heel speciaal meisje van 4 maanden jong die opzoek is naar een gouden mandje. Mavi is als vondeling bij ons binnen gekomen en had zo haar gedachtes over mensen. Zij wilde absoluut niks met ons te maken hebben en dit liet ze op alle manieren graag weten. Een van de vaste medewerkers heeft uren bij haar doorgebracht en zij ziet ondertussen een heel ander meisje tevoorschijn komen. Zij is zeker geen allemansvriend en zal dit ook nooit worden, maar we denken wel dat dit nu de tijd is voor haar om op zoek te gaan naar een nieuw huis, waar zij haar hart opnieuw zal kunnen geven. Mavi is een klein en pittig dametje die zeker een eigen mening heeft, maar dat maakt haar tegelijk ook heel leuk. Als zij haar vaste verzorger hoort begint ze al te spinnen en is dan al helemaal tevreden. Afhankelijk van de drukte in en rondom de kamer komt ze ook en dan loopt ze rond, geeft kopjes, spint er op los en vindt het enig als ze aandacht krijgt! Ze komt ook voor lekkere dingen zoals liquid en is dan heel snel tevreden! Maar Mavi is ook een meisje die haar hart heeft gegeven hier aan 1 iemand en niet perse de behoefte voelt om haar kleine hartje open te stellen voor vele andere mensen. Ze voelt geen behoefte tot contact met ze en negeert ze gewoon en als ze aandringen zal ze laten weten hoe ze erover denkt. En dit is wel wat gecompliceerd, maar Mavi heeft laten zien dat zij iemand kan leren vertrouwen en dat zij dan ook echt een dotje is! En daarom denken wij wel dat dit de tijd voor haar is om een huisje te zoeken. Mavi is gek op andere katten en ligt heel graag bij ze. Ze haalt ook steun uit ze als ze het even spannend vindt en daarom zoeken we een plekje voor haar met of bij een andere kat/kitten. Honden vindt zij heel eng en daarom plaatsen we haar niet bij honden. Ook is een huishouden met kinderen voor haar nu gewoon teveel van het goede. Voor Mavi zoeken wij dus 1 of 2 lieve en geduldige mensen die helemaal voor haar willen gaan. Die begrijpen dat zij mogelijk geen behoefte voelt om uitgebreid kennis te maken met je tijdens het bezoek. En dat zij in haar nieuwe huis tijd nodig heeft om je te leren vertrouwen. Dat je steeds even bij haar gaat zitten, waardoor ze je leert kennen en weet dat jij haar echt niks gaan doen. Dan zal ze ongetwijfeld haar hartje opnieuw openstellen en krijg je een heel schattig, lief en snel tevreden meisje voor terug!

About Mavi

What life with Mavi looks like

Mavi is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen 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 Mavi, answered.

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