Merci

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Hello, hello, can you see me? I don't really stand out in the full shelter but I am here all the same. I am a sweet, shy cat of 4 years old. I am also looking for a nice home, a home where I am welcome and can be myself. I can be with children, but very young children are not recommended. Other cats are fine with me and I am also used to them. I don't need to go outside and I will get used to dogs, although I don't know them yet. I am not very difficult and don't ask much, just love, cuddles and good food. First I need some time to get used to everything new.

Hallo, hallo ziet u mij wel staan, ik val namelijk niet echt op in de volle opvang maar ben er toch echt. Ik ben een lief tikje verlegen poesje van 4 jaar oud. Ook ik zoek nu toch echt een fijn thuis een thuis waar ik welkom ben en mijzelf mag zijn. Ik kan met kinderen maar hele jonge kinderen raden wij niet aan. Andere katten vind ik prima en ben ik ook gewend geweest. Naar buiten hoef ik niet en honden daar zal ik wel aan wennen al ken ik het niet. Ben niet zo moeilijk en vraag niet zoveel, wat liefde knuffels en lekker eten, eerst moet ik wel wennen aan alles wat nieuw is, dat kost mij wel wat tijd.

About Merci

What life with Merci looks like

Merci is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Flappus in Netherlands.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇳🇱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 Merci, answered.

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