Nacho

Mixed Breed Β· Male Β· Kitten

This is the sweet Nacho! In late June 2026, a volunteer was called after someone spotted a limping kitten on a provincial road. The little cat was dragging its left hind leg behind it. The vet confirmed that the leg was severely sprained. Nobody knew how or why this happened. The volunteers can only assume that Nacho had been sleeping under a car or that his leg had gotten caught on something. Because the nerve was completely damaged, Nacho was taken to an orthopedic vet in Athens to confirm the diagnosis. The orthopedic vet indeed said that it cannot be cured and that the nerve will not recover. At the moment, Nacho drags his leg behind him and it will be amputated in about two months. When he has gained more weight and it is safer for him to be under anesthesia, the leg will be amputated. Nacho has a sweet character. He drags his hind leg, but this is (for now) not a problem for him. He accepts things as they are and has fun with his cat friends and cat toys. He runs quickly and happily to anything that catches his attention. Nacho is social. He loves people and cats. His best friend is Oreo. They could be adopted together, but this is not a requirement. He needs a cat friend, at least. Nacho loves cuddling. He is very cuddly and purrs a lot. He loves sitting on his caregiver's lap. He likes to be hugged. He likes to fall asleep next to his caregiver. He loves the domestic life. Nacho is playful. He enjoys cat toys. He likes to play with any toy or thing he finds. Nacho loves food. He loves canned food, dry food, and treats. Nacho is only placed as an indoor cat. Nacho is vaccinated. Update September 2026: Nacho's hind leg needs to be amputated; it is expected that he will be ready to fly at the end of November or in December 2026. He will be neutered in October. All our kittens are only placed in a house where another cat is already present, or as a duo!

Dit is de lieve Nacho! Eind juni 2026 werd een vrijwilligster gebeld nadat iemand een mank katje op een provinciale weg had gezien. Het kleine katje sleepte zijn linker achterpootje achter zich aan. De dierenarts bevestigde dat het pootje ernstig verrekt was. Hoe en waarom dat is gebeurd wist niemand. De vrijwilligsters kunnen alleen maar aannemen dat Nacho onder een auto had geslapen of dat zijn pootje ergens achter was blijven haken. Omdat de zenuw volledig beschadigd is, werd Nacho naar een orthopedisch dierenarts in Athene gebracht om de diagnose te bevestigen. De orthopedisch dierenarts zei inderdaad dat het niet te genezen is en dat de zenuw niet zal herstellen. Op dit moment sleept Nacho zijn pootje achter zich aan en zal het over ongeveer twee maanden geamputeerd gaan worden. Wanneer hij meer is aangekomen en het veiliger is voor hem om onder narcose te gaan, zal het pootje worden geamputeerd. Nacho heeft een lief karakter. Hij sleept dan wel met zijn achterpootje, maar dit is (voorlopig) geen probleem voor hem. Hij accepteert de dingen zoals ze zijn en heeft plezier met zijn kattenvriendjes en kattenspeeltjes. Hij rent snel en vrolijk naar alles wat zijn aandacht trekt. Nacho is sociaal. Hij is dol op mensen en katten. Zijn beste vriend is Oreo. Ze zouden samen geadopteerd kunnen worden, maar dit is geen vereiste. Hij heeft in ieder geval een kattenvriendje nodig. Nacho houdt van knuffelen. Hij is erg knuffelig en spint veel. Hij vindt het heerlijk om op de schoot van zijn verzorgster te zitten. Hij wordt graag geknuffeld. Hij valt graag in slaap naast zijn verzorgster. Hij houdt van het huiselijk leven. Nacho is speels. Hij geniet van kattenspeelgoed. Hij speelt graag met elk speeltje of dingetje wat hij vindt. Nacho houdt van eten. Hij houdt van blikvoer, droogvoer en snoepjes. Nacho wordt alleen als binnenkat geplaatst. Nacho is gevaccineerd. Update September 2026: Bij Nacho moet een achterpoot worden geamputeerd; de verwachting is dat hij eind november of in december 2026 klaar is om te vliegen. Hij wordt in oktober gecastreerd. Update oktober 2026: Vorige week is bij Nacho zijn linker achterpootje geamputeerd. Nacho is gecastreerd. Nacho is negatief getest op FIV/FeLV. Al onze kittens worden uitsluitend in een huisje geplaatst waar al een andere kat aanwezig is, of als duo!

About Nacho

What life with Nacho looks like

Nacho is a small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Mirtos Animal Project 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 β€” most shelters arrange this before adoption.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±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 Nacho, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nacho?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Mirtos Animal Project handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nacho on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nacho if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” 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 Nacho 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nacho isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Mirtos Animal Project early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nacho 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 β€” 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.
