Melissa

Female · Adult · 9 years

Melissa is bij ons binnen gekomen gevonden als zwerver. Melissa liep al langere tijd bij de mensen op hun erf. In het begin was ze nog wat angstiger, maar na een tijd kon ze door de mensen ook voorzichtig geaaid worden. Ze is een lieve poes die wel even de tijd nodig heeft om te wennen! Voor haar zijn we opzoek naar een huisje waar ze naar buiten mag en waar ze rustig de tijd krijgt om te wennen. Voor meer informatie kunt u contact met ons opnemen!

About Melissa

What life with Melissa looks like

Melissa is a adult cat waiting at Dierenasiel Brammelo 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 Melissa, answered.

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