Muis

Old English Sheepdog · Female · Adult · 5 years

This is (mom) Muis; a young cat about 2.5 years old. She has probably not had many positive experiences with people in her young life. When she came to the foster family, she would often hiss. Not because she's mean, but out of fear and uncertainty. She is a tree-climber. At the foster home, she eventually lay more relaxed in the room. She doesn't really like being petted yet. It's possible that this will change in the future, but that can't be said with certainty. We are looking for a quiet home for mom Muis. Somewhere where she gets the time and space to get used to it quietly.

Dit is (mama) Muis; een jonge poes van ongeveer 2,5 jaar jong. Ze heeft in haar jonge leven waarschijnlijk niet veel positieve ervaringen met mensen opgedaan. Toen ze bij het pleeggezin kwam, blies ze regelmatig. Niet omdat ze gemeen is, maar uit angst en onzekerheid. Ze is een kat-uit-de-boom-kijker. Bij het pleeggezin lag ze uiteindelijk wel wat meer ontspannen in de kamer. Van aaien houdt ze nog niet echt. Mogelijk dat dit in de toekomst nog veranderd, maar dat is niet met zekerheid te zeggen. We zoeken voor mama Muis een rustig thuis. Ergens waar ze de tijd en ruimte krijgt om rustig te wennen.

About Muis

What life with Muis looks like

Muis is an adult old english sheepdog cat waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

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 Muis, answered.

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