Minoes

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Foster Family Character Description: Minoes is a gentle and shy kitten. At first, she needs some time to get used to her surroundings and to people. If she is given the time and space to do so, she will blossom into a lovely housemate! Once you have earned her trust, she can truly enjoy attention and cuddles. For Minoes, we are looking for a calm, loving household where she does not have to be alone too often. She could possibly be placed with children aged 12 and older. A companion animal in the home can help boost her confidence, but it is not a requirement. Minoes can be kept as an indoor cat, provided there is enough stimulation indoors. If the opportunity exists and the surroundings are safe and quiet, Minoes could of course also go outside. Go back

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Minoes is een zachtaardig en bescheiden kitten. In het begin heeft ze even de tijd nodig om te wennen aan haar omgeving en mensen. Krijgt ze de tijd en ruimte daarvoor, dan bloeit ze volledig op tot een fijne huisgenoot! Eenmaal wanneer je haar vertrouwen gewonnen hebt, kan ze oprecht genieten van de aandacht en knuffels. Wij zoeken voor Minoes een rustig, liefdevol huishouden waar ze niet te vaak alleen hoeft te zijn. Ze kan eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 12 jaar geplaatst worden. Een soortgenoot in huis zal haar kunnen helpen bij haar zelfvertrouwen, maar is geen vereiste. Minoes kan als binnenkat gehouden worden, mits er voldoende uitdaging binnenshuis aanwezig is. Mocht de mogelijkheid er zijn en de omgeving veilig/rustig zijn, zou Minoes uiteraard ook naar buiten kunnen. Ga terug

About Minoes

What life with Minoes looks like

Minoes is a 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 Minoes, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Minoes?: 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 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 — 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Dierentehuis Arnhem 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.
