Nala

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Nala is a sweet cat, born on April 14, 2024. She is a calm girl and did not feel at home in her previous house because it was very busy with many children around her. While some cats enjoy that, I get a bit uncertain and restless. I am now looking for a quiet and nice home where I can be myself. I am not difficult at all. I am a calm cat who likes to be close to you and, once I feel comfortable, I also like to snuggle up on your lap. I can really enjoy that. I would love to be able to go outside after a while in my new home. Explore, walk around a bit and then come back home. My biggest wish? A calm owner who gives me time to get used to things and understands that I can't handle a lot of noise. Give me such a quiet place and you will get a sweet, cozy cat in return.

Ik ben Nala, een lieve poes, geboren op 14 april 2024. Ik ben een rustig meisje en daarom voelde ik mij niet helemaal op mijn plek in mijn vorige huis. Daar was het erg druk, met veel kinderen om mij heen. Voor sommige katten is dat gezellig, maar ik word daar juist een beetje onzeker en onrustig van. Daarom ben ik nu op zoek naar een rustig en fijn huisje, waar ik lekker mezelf mag zijn. Ik ben namelijk helemaal niet moeilijk. Ik ben een rustige poes die graag bij je in de buurt is en, als ik mij eenmaal op mijn gemak voel, kom ik ook graag lekker bij je op schoot liggen. Daar kan ik echt van genieten. Ik zou het heerlijk vinden om na een tijdje in mijn nieuwe huis ook weer lekker naar buiten te kunnen. Even op ontdekking, een beetje rondlopen en daarna weer lekker naar huis komen. Mijn grootste wens? Een rustig baasje dat mij de tijd geeft om te wennen en begrijpt dat ik niet zo goed tegen veel drukte kan. Geef mij zo’n rustig plekje en je krijgt er een lieve, gezellige poes voor terug.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierencentrum De Mère 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 Nala, answered.

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