Mowgli

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Hello everyone, my name is Mowgli. I am a fairly large and energetic, but sweet black tomcat, 1 year old, and I love to play. My roommates are tolerable, but I am looking for a home of my own. That is where I will be the happiest so I don't have to share my space and attention. I would also love to occasionally get some fresh air in a closed garden or balcony. I love playing and I love attention and I like to be with you. Sometimes I still have a tendency to bite, harder than others. Often this is not meant badly, sometimes to indicate that I'm done. Do you think you can offer me my golden bed? Then click on respond to this animal.

Hallo allemaal, mijn naam is Mowgli. Ik ben een vrij grote en drukke, maar lieve zwarte kater van 1 jaar oud en ik ben dol op spelen. Mijn kamergenootjes zijn zeker te tolereren, maar zoek zeker een huisje voor mezelf. Daar wordt ik namelijk het gelukkigst van zodat ik mijn ruimte en aandacht niet hoef te delen. Ook zou ik het fijn vinden om af en toe een frisse neus te kunnen halen in een afgesloten tuin of balkon. Ik hou naast spelen ook zeker van aandacht en ben graag bij je. Soms heb ik nog wel eens de neiging om daarbij te gaan bijten, de ene keer harder dan de ander. Vaak is dit niet slecht bedoeld, soms om aan te geven dat ik er klaar mee ben. Denkt u mij mijn gouden mandje aan te kunnen bieden? Klik dan op reageer op dit dier.

About Mowgli

What life with Mowgli looks like

Mowgli is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenasiel 't Julialaantje in Rijswijk.

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 Mowgli, answered.

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