OREO

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 7 months

I am Oreo, a white Cyprus cat, about 6 months old (estimated). I was found in Spain, and back then I was still very shy. The world was quite scary to me, and trust in people didn't come easily. I first spent some time in the shelter, but by now I've been with a Belgian foster family for a while. They are putting a lot of love and time into me, and it's starting to pay off. I'm slowly thawing out and showing my sweet side more and more often. So things are going in the right direction for me. I'm not yet the self-assured cat I may one day become, but I'm clearly on my way. What I need is someone who understands that process and takes the time and calm for it. They also think a playmate would be good for me. But being alone is still being alone, right? So in a new home I will certainly need time to settle in, just as I had to at my foster family's. New smells, new people and a new environment are quite exciting for me, perhaps even a bit what

Ik ben Oreo, een wit cypers katertje van 6 maanden oud (geschat). Ik ben in Spanje gevonden, en toen was ik nog erg schuw. De wereld was best eng voor mij, en mensen vertrouwen kwam niet vanzelf. Ik heb eerst een tijdje in het asiel gezeten, maar zit inmiddels al even in een Belgisch gastgezin. Zij stoppen heel veel liefde en tijd in mij, en dat begint zijn vruchten af te werpen. Ik ontdooi langzaam en laat me steeds vaker van mijn lieve kant zien. Het gaat dus de goede kant op met mij. Ik ben nog niet helemaal het zelfverzekerde katertje dat ik ooit kan worden, maar ik ben duidelijk op weg. Wat ik nodig heb is iemand die dat proces begrijpt en er de tijd en rust voor neemt. Ook denken ze dat een speelmaatje goed voor mij zou zijn. Alleen is maar alleen toch? Ik zal in een nieuw thuis dus zeker weer de tijd nodig hebben om te wennen, net zoals ik dat bij mijn gastgezin heb moeten doen. Nieuwe geuren, nieuwe mensen en een nieuwe omgeving zijn best spannend voor mij, misschien wel wat me

About OREO

What life with OREO looks like

OREO is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Hondenzorg en Welzijn Europa in —.

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 — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇳🇱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 OREO, answered.

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