Missy

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

This is Missy, a beautiful 8-year-old white cat. She came to us because she was not using the litter box at her old home. This behavior can have many different reasons, but for Missy it was most likely caused by the presence of another cat in the house. She experienced stress from this and started peeing outside the litter box. We no longer see this behavior at our shelter. Therefore, we expect that if she comes to a new, quiet home without other animals, she will not show her untidy behavior anymore. We have gotten to know Missy as a sweet cat who is always up for a good cuddle session. She purrs loudly and gives many head bumps. However, we also see that she still finds other cats exciting. What does Missy need? A quiet home with no other cats or dogs. Also, Missy needs the opportunity to go outside. This has been her life so far, making it important for her to continue doing this. It is essential that she ends up in a safe environment, such as a quiet neighborhood.

Dit is Missy, een mooie witte poes van 8 jaar oud. Missy is bij ons gekomen doordat ze bij haar oude thuis onzindelijk was. Dit gedrag kan veel verschillende redenen hebben, maar bij missy werd dit hoogstwaarschijnlijk veroorzaakt door de aanwezigheid van nog een andere kat in het huis. Hier ervaarde ze stress van, waardoor ze naast de bak ging plassen. Inmiddels zien wij dit gedrag bij ons op de opvang niet meer. Hierdoor verwachten wij dat als ze in een nieuw, rustig huis komt zonder andere dieren, ze haar onzindelijke gedrag ook niet meer zal laten zien. We hebben missy inmiddels leren kennen als een lieve kat, die altijd wel in is voor een goede knuffel sessie. Hierbij spint ze luidskeels en worden er veel kopjes gegeven. Toch zien we ook dat ze andere katten nog wel spannend vind. Wat heeft missy nodig? Een rustig huis, waar geen andere katten of honden zijn. Ook moet missy de mogelijkheid hebben om naar buiten te gaan. Dit heeft ze haar hele leven gekund, waardoor het belangrijk is dat ze het kan blijven doen. Hierbij is het belangrijk dat ze in een veilige omgeving terecht komt, zoals op een rustige buurt.

About Missy

What life with Missy looks like

Missy is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kat in Nood 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 Missy, answered.

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