Mies

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Character description of foster family: Mies is a sociable, playful kitten with a healthy dose of self-confidence. This lady zips through the air as if she were flying and has mountains of energy! Her favorite games are those where she has to chase after something. After the chase, she settles down for a cuddle moment. Besides chasing, she also lets out little squeaky sounds when she's being teased. We are looking for a lively, sociable household where someone is often at home and there's plenty of activity. She is expected to be able to be placed with children as young as 2 years old. Mies wants to eventually venture outside to discover the green, peaceful surroundings.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Mies is een gezellig, speels kitten met een gezonde dosis zelfvertrouwen. Deze dame vliegt als het ware door de lucht en heeft bergen energie! Spelletjes waarbij Mies achter iets aan moet rennen, zijn haar favoriet. Na de jacht, legt ze zich er rustig bij neer voor een krioelmoment. Naast spinnen, uit ze zich ook in kleine piep-geluidjes wanneer ze aangehaald wordt. We zoeken voor Mies een levendig, gezellig huishouden waar vaak iemand thuis is en veel met haar ondernomen wordt. Naar verwachting kan ze prima bij kinderen vanaf 2 jaar oud geplaatst worden. Mies wil op den duur naar buiten om de groene, rustige omgeving te ontdekken. Ga terug

About Mies

What life with Mies looks like

Mies is a small 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 Mies, answered.

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