Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Michelle (nr. 25031) is a beautiful tortoiseshell kitten. At first, she seems a bit shy, but once you start petting her, she comes out of her shell. Then she wants more and more, and pushes her head into your hand. A very sweet kitten!

Michelle (nr. 25031) is een mooi schildpadpoesje. In het begin lijkt ze een beetje verlegen maar als je haar eenmaal begint te aaien komt ze los. Dan wi ze steeds meer en duwt haar kop in je hand. Een erg lief poesje!

About Michelle

What life with Michelle looks like

Michelle is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierentehuis 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 Michelle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Michelle?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Michelle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Michelle if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Michelle 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 Michelle 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 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Michelle 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.
