Mickey

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 2 months

Mickey is a cheerful, adventurous, and curious kitten who loves to explore. He finds everything interesting and is always up for a game. He is very social and enjoys interacting with people. He also gets along very well with children; he plays enthusiastically, but is friendly at the same time. Mickey has grown up with a dog and is very comfortable around them. In fact, he enjoys playing with the dog and is clearly at ease with them. He is the only kitten in the litter and has grown up with his mother, so he has received a lot of attention. After all the playing, Mickey loves to find a cozy spot. A warm blanket or a comfortable pillow is his favorite place to relax. Mickey is enjoying life to the fullest. With his social nature, playful personality, and love for companionship, we think he would make a great housemate for a family or household where he gets enough attention and companionship. After a settling-in period, Mickey wants to go outside to explore the peaceful, green surroundings.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Mickey is een vrolijke, ondernemende en nieuwsgierige kitten die graag op ontdekking gaat. Hij vindt alles interessant en is altijd in voor een spelletje. Hij is erg sociaal en zoekt graag contact met mensen. Ook met kinderen gaat hij heel leuk om; hij speelt enthousiast, maar is daarbij vriendelijk. Mickey is opgegroeid met een hond en is daar helemaal aan gewend. Sterker nog, hij speelt graag samen met de hond en voelt zich daar zichtbaar op zijn gemak bij. Hij is het enige kitten uit het nest en groeit samen met zijn moeder op, waardoor hij veel aandacht heeft gekregen. Na al het spelen zoekt Mickey graag een lekker zacht plekje op. Een warm kleedje of een comfortabel kussen is zijn favoriete plek om heerlijk uit te rusten. Mickey geniet volop van het leven. Door zijn sociale karakter, speelse aard en liefde voor gezelschap denken we dat hij een geweldige huisgenoot zal zijn voor een gezin of een huishouden waar hij voldoende aandacht en gezelschap krijgt. Na een wenperiode wil Mickey naar buiten om de rustige, groene omgeving te ontdekken. Ga terug

About Mickey

What life with Mickey looks like

Mickey is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇳🇱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 Mickey, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mickey?
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 Mickey on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mickey 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 Mickey 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 Mickey 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 Mickey 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.
