How do I contact the shelter about Maxima?

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 Maxima on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Maxima 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 Maxima 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 Maxima 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 Maxima 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.

Maxima

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 6 years

Character description of foster family: Maxima is a loving, inquisitive lady. Maxima is already running around behind her people in a spindly manner. She enjoys it when you talk to her and chat back in a cozy manner. Maxima is eager to go on adventures and might seek an immediate opening to the outside (important to consider open windows). She enjoys a stroke on her back, but is still hesitant to crawl onto someone's lap. Lying on the couch is still new to Maxima. We expect that Maxima will eventually relax and show her playful side. Maxima came to the foster family with her kittens. These have been cared for with love and attention. Maxima is now ready for a fresh start! We are looking for a loving, stable home where someone is usually present. We might place her with children from 6 years old. It is unknown how she reacts to her adult counterparts. After a trial period, Maxima wants to go outside to explore the green, peaceful surroundings.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Maxima is een lieve, nieuwsgierige dame. Maxima loopt al spinnend achter haar mensen aan. Ze vindt het prettig wanneer je tegen haar praat en kletst gezellig terug. Maxima gaat graag op ontdekking uit en zoekt mogelijk direct een opening naar buiten (belangrijk om rekening te houden met openstaande ramen). Ze geniet van een aai over haar bol, maar twijfelt nog wel om op schoot te kruipen. Op de bank liggen, is voor Maxima nog ongewoon. We verwachten dat Maxima op den duur meer zal ontspannen en haar speelse kant naar voren komt. Maxima is met haar kittens bij het gastgezin gekomen. Deze zijn met liefde en aandacht verzorgd. Maxima is inmiddels klaar voor een frisse start! We zoeken voor haar een liefdevol, stabiel huishouden waar regelmatig iemand thuis is. We plaatsen haar eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 6 jaar oud. Het is onbekend hoe ze op haar volwassen soortgenoten reageert. Na een wenperiode wil Maxima naar buiten om de groene, rustige omgeving te verkennen. Ga terug

About Maxima

What life with Maxima looks like

Maxima is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem 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.
