Minoes

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

Heya, I'm Minoes and I have a resting female dog face, but that doesn't mean I'm grumpy on the inside. In my previous home, my boundaries weren't always respected, which is why I got a bit angry a few times. But since I've been at our shelter, I've behaved much better. I'm actually very reserved and friendly. I had to go to a clinic for a heart echo because I have a heart murmur, but I don't need any medication. I'm looking for a quiet and friendly home where my boundaries will be respected! Who oh who wants to meet me?

Heya ik ben Minoes en ik heb een resting bitch face, maar dat betekent niet dat ik vanbinnen ook zo ben. In mijn vorige huisje werd er niet heel goed naar mijn grenzen geluisterd en daarom ben ik een aantal keer heel boos geworden. Maar sinds ik bij DOA ben heb ik me niet meer zo misdragen, eigenlijk ben ik heel erg terughoudend en vriendelijk. Ik moest naar een kliniek voor een hart-echo omdat ik een hartruisje heb, maar hoef er geen medicatie voor. Ik zoek een rustig en vriendelijk huisje, waar mijn grenzen wél gerespecteerd worden! Wie oh wie wil mij ontmoeten?

About Minoes

What life with Minoes looks like

Minoes is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Minoes, answered.

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