Ollie

Mixed Breed · Male

If we had to point out one cat for whom we would say "good grief, what does this cat deserve to find a home of his own," it's our Ollie. Ollie is still young (6 years), active, has no medical issues, and is an enormous cuddlebum. At least for the people he knows well. Ollie comes from a situation where he was very loved. His character was completely accepted as it was, but unfortunately, the arrival of a baby was too stressful for Ollie. All over town was called off, but unfortunately, no one could take in Ollie. Ollie came here, and soon became the talk of the day. Because Ollie is not a cat for everyone. Due to stress or frustration, he can display unpredictable behavior, and many caregivers have scars from our Ol. Meanwhile, we've moved on quite a bit, and Ollie has found his rhythm reasonably well here. He has a bond with the people he regularly sees, and sometimes shows more dog-like behaviors than cat-like ones. He is smart and also likes to learn. Ol needs access to the outside, otherwise this leads to frustration and he may show spraying behavior. What does Ollie need? Freedom. Our free spirit is not the type to be put in a cage. He is a real showoff and needs this to be comfortable. In addition, his new owner (without young children) stands firmly in his shoes. Because even a possible move can cause stress, and Ollie could really make it difficult for you. But once you get past the ice, he is the most wonderful companion you could wish for. Ollie can live with other cats, but we prefer to place him alone. And also without dogs. We know it's like finding a needle in a haystack, but we still hope to find it for Ollie.

Als we één kat aan moesten wijzen waarvan we zouden zeggen “getver, wat verdient deze kat het om een eigen stekje te vinden” is het onze Ollie wel. Ollie is nog jong (6jaar), actief, heeft geen medische problematiek en is een enórme knuffelkont. Althans, voor de mensen die hij goed kent. Ollie komt uit een situatie waarin hij ontzettend geliefd was. Zijn karakter werd volledig geaccepteerd zoals deze was, maar helaas werd de komst van een baby te stressvol voor Ollie. Er is stad en land afgebeld, maar helaas kon niemand Ollie opnemen. Ollie kwam hier, en al snel werd Ollie gesprek van de dag. Want Ollie is geen kat voor iedereen. Vanuit stress of frustratie kan hij onvoorspelbaar gedrag vertonen en menig verzorger draagt littekens van ons Ol. Inmiddels zijn we een flinke poos verder, en heeft Ollie hier zijn draai redelijk gevonden. Hij heeft een band met de mensen die hij regelmatig ziet, en heeft soms meer hondse-gedragingen dan katten gedrag. hij is slim en mag ook graag wat leren. Ol heeft toegang tot buiten nodig, zo niet, dan levert dit frustratie op en kan hij sproeigedrag laten zien. Wat heeft Ollie nodig ? Vrijheid. Onze vrije vogel is geen type om in een kooitje te stoppen. Hij is een echte flierefluiter en heeft dit ook nodig om goed in zijn vel te zitten. Daarnaast staat zijn nieuwe baasje (zonder jonge kinderen) stevig in zijn schoenen. Want ook een eventuele verhuizing levert stress op, en Ollie zou het je echt wel even lastig kunnen maken. Maar ben je door het ijs heen, dan is hij het meest leuke maatje wat er te wensen valt. Ollie kan met andere katten, maar we plaatsen hem bij voorkeur alleen. En ook zonder honden. We weten dat het een speld in een hooiberg is, maar we hopen deze toch te vinden. Voor Ollie.

About Ollie

What life with Ollie looks like

Ollie is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kat in Nood 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 Ollie, answered.

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