Moonpie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

This is the beautiful Moonpie! Moonpie hid in a metal barrier. She was trapped in the middle strip on a large highway. She had little chance of survival. Many cars were driving by and she was in a panic and meowing. Nobody heard her. That night Moonpie was very lucky. A volunteer was walking with her friends. She was on her way home and the wind was blowing strongly. She heard the kitten meowing. It was a difficult and dangerous rescue, because she was very scared and did not let the volunteers catch her. She tried to hide in the bushes. After more than an hour and a half, the volunteers managed to catch her with a lot of patience. She was scared the first day, but then she started to relax. Moonpie is a cuddly and playful girl. Moonpie's best friend is Dimitroula. Moonpie is very beautiful with her round head and big eyes. She owes her name to the fact that it was a full moon the night she was rescued. Moonpie is vaccinated. Update June 2025: Moonpie has grown into a beautiful kitten. But she is somewhat timid by nature. Her first experiences as a stray cat on the street were very traumatic for her. Her caregiver still remembers how difficult it was to catch and rescue her. Even when she was sterilized, it was very traumatic for her. Moonpie can't handle pressure, stress and hardship well. She gets scared then. Moonpie is very close to Dimitroula. It would be great if they were adopted together. This could be better for her self-confidence. An easy kitten would help her enormously in getting used to her new home. But because she is very sweet to other cats, any social cat would be suitable. It would not be wise to keep her as the only pet. She needs time and patience to get used to a new owner. Her new owner is ideally a patient, cat-experienced person. She needs a calm and quiet household. A small apartment would be ideal, because she would feel lost in a large house. A very friendly cat would also help, and even more cats would be great. Moonpie has no need to go outside. This is not what she is used to. All our kittens are only placed in a house where another cat is already present, or as a duo!

Dit is de mooie Moonpie! Moonpie verstopte zich in een metalen barrière. Ze zat opgesloten in de middelste strook op een grote verkeersweg. Ze had weinig kans om te overleven. Er reden veel auto’s en ze was in paniek en miauwde. Niemand hoorde haar. Die nacht had Moonpie veel geluk. Een vrijwilligster was aan het wandelen met haar vrienden. Ze was op weg naar huis en het waaide erg. Ze hoorde het poesje miauwen. Het was een moeilijke en gevaarlijke redding, omdat ze erg bang was en zich niet liet vangen door de vrijwilligsters. Ze probeerde zich te verstoppen in de struiken. Na ruim anderhalf uur is het de vrijwilligsters met veel geduld toch gelukt om haar te vangen. Ze was de eerste dag bang, maar daarna begon ze zich te ontspannen. Moonpie is een knuffelig en speels meisje. De beste vriendin van Moonpie is Dimitroula. Moonpie is erg mooi met haar ronde kopje en grote ogen. Ze heeft haar naam te danken aan het feit dat het volle maan was in de nacht toen ze gered werd. Moonpie is gevaccineerd. Update juni 2025: Moonpie is uitgegroeid tot een mooi katje. Maar ze is van karakter nogal schichtig. Haar eerste ervaringen als zwerfkat op straat waren erg traumatisch voor haar. Haar verzorgster herinnert zich nog hoe moeilijk het was om haar te vangen en redden. Ook toen ze gesteriliseerd werd was dat erg traumatisch voor haar. Moonpie kan niet goed tegen druk, stress en ‘ontberingen’. Ze wordt dan bang. Moonpie is erg close met Dimitroula. Het zou geweldig zijn als ze samen geadopteerd worden. Dit kan beter zijn voor haar zelfvertrouwen. Een makkelijke kitten zou haar enorm helpen bij het wennen aan haar nieuwe thuis. Maar omdat ze heel lief is voor andere katten, zou elke sociale kat geschikt zijn. Het zou niet verstandig zijn om haar als enige huisdier te houden. Ze heeft tijd en geduld nodig om aan een nieuw baasje te wennen. Haar nieuwe baasje is idealiter een geduldig, kattenerrvaren persoon zijn. Ze heeft een kalm en rustig huishouden nodig. Een klein appartement zou ideaal zijn, want ze zou zich verloren voelen in een groot huis. Een hele vriendelijke kat zou ook helpen, en nog meer katten zou geweldig zijn. Moonpie heeft er geen behoefte aan om naar buiten te gaan. Dit is ze ook niet gewend. Al onze kittens worden uitsluitend in een huisje geplaatst waar al een andere kat aanwezig is, of als duo!

About Moonpie

What life with Moonpie looks like

Moonpie is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Mirtos Animal Project 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 Moonpie, answered.

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