Nugget

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

These two adorable kittens, 6 months old, have been with us at the shelter for a while and are looking for a nice home. They came to us as young kittens and were very afraid at the time. They have come a long way since then, but petting is still a step too far for them. This is still very challenging for them. They need a calm household where they can get some rest and trust. Do you have patience with cats and would you like to give these two treasures a nice home? Then get in touch or come by for a meeting.

Deze 2 knapperds van 6 maanden jong zitten al een tijdje bij ons in de opvang en zijn op zoek naar een fijn thuis. Ze zijn als jonge kittens bij ons binnengekomen en waren toen heel angstig. Inmiddels zijn ze wel wat bijgedraaid maar geaaid worden is nog een stap te ver. Dit vinden ze nog erg spannend. Ze hebben een rustig huishouden nodig waar ze rust en vertrouwen mogen krijgen. Heeft u geduld met katten en wilt u deze 2 schatten een fijn thuis bieden? Neem dan contact op of kom langs voor een kennismaking.

About Nugget

What life with Nugget looks like

Nugget is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvang Hengelo in Hengelo.

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 Nugget, answered.

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