Maya

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 9 years

Maya zoekt een rustig plekje om helemaal zichzelf te zijn Maya is een lieve poes van 9 jaar. In het begin kijkt ze graag even de kat uit de boom, maar wanneer ze je eenmaal vertrouwt, komt haar knuffelige kant tevoorschijn. Ze geniet volop van aandacht en gezelligheid. Voor Maya zoeken we een rustig thuis zonder andere dieren en zonder kleine kinderen. Een afgeschermde tuin of een veilig balkon zou fijn zijn, zodat ze ook lekker naar buiten kan. Maya heeft een nierdieet nodig. Met de juiste voeding en een rustig thuis hopen we dat ze nog heel veel mooie jaren tegemoet gaat. Gun jij deze lieve dame haar welverdiende gouden mandje? Wil jij Maya haar bieden?

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Offem 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.

🇳🇱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 Maya, answered.

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