Micky

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 10 years

Micky is a friendly senior who takes his time getting to know new situations and people. At first, he tends to be somewhat cautious and prefers to keep a safe distance. As soon as he realizes he can trust you, he reveals his gentle and sweet nature. When you gently pet him, he visibly relaxes; he loves to lean fully against you and enjoys it so much that he sometimes even starts drooling. Once he’s had enough attention, he happily retreats back to his familiar basket for a power nap. For Micky, we’re looking for a quiet household where someone is home regularly. He could potentially be placed with children aged 12 and older. He gets along well with other cats, but it’s not a requirement that there be another cat in his new home. Micky can thrive as an indoor cat—as long as there’s plenty of space and mental stimulation available indoors. Go back

Micky is een vriendelijke senior die rustig de tijd neemt om nieuwe situaties en mensen te leren kennen. In het begin is hij wat afwachtend en kijkt hij liever even de kat uit de boom. Zodra hij merkt dat hij je kan vertrouwen, laat hij zijn zachtaardige karakter zien. Wanneer je hem rustig aait, ontspant hij zichtbaar; hij leunt dan graag volledig tegen je aan en kan daar zo intens van genieten dat hij soms zelfs begint te kwijlen. Als hij genoeg aandacht heeft gehad, trekt hij zich weer tevreden terug in zijn vertrouwde mandje voor een powernap. Voor Micky zoeken we een rustig huishouden waar regelmatig iemand thuis is. Hij kan eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 12 jaar oud geplaatst worden. Hij kan goed overweg met zijn soortgenoten, maar het is geen vereiste dat er een andere kat aanwezig is in zijn nieuw thuis. Micky kan prima als binnenkat gehouden worden, mits er voldoende ruimte en uitdaging binnenshuis aanwezig is. Ga terug

About Micky

What life with Micky looks like

Micky is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem 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 Micky, answered.

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