Perla

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Perla is a sweet cat, born around 2024, who has found a safe place with our rescuer Gabriela in Onești, Romania. She previously lived on the streets and was fortunately rescued by a friend of Gabriela. Perla loves people and prefers to snuggle up close to Gabriela or her son. She enjoys cuddling and companionship and clearly feels most comfortable when she can be with her people. Perla also gets along well with other animals. She has a particularly close friendship with Bya, a Bengal who also lives with Gabriela. The two are often found together and would make a great pair to adopt together. We are looking for a safe home for Perla where she can also enjoy the outdoors, for example on a well-secured balcony or in a fully cat-safe garden. After her life on the streets, a safe outdoor space is of course a nice extra. Perla can be adopted directly, but can also come to the shelter first to increase her chances of finding a home. Who knows, maybe she and Bya are the perfect pair you're looking for! Perla travels with a microchip, vaccinations, sterilization, deworming and an European passport. Can Perla soon come and snuggle up on your couch?

Perla is een lieve poes, geboren rond 2024, die inmiddels een veilig plekje heeft gevonden bij onze rescuer Gabriela in Onești, Roemenië. Ze leefde eerder op straat en werd gelukkig gered door een vriendin van Gabriela. Perla is dol op mensen en kruipt het liefst lekker dicht tegen Gabriela of haar zoon aan. Ze geniet van knuffelen en gezelschap en voelt zich duidelijk het prettigst wanneer ze lekker bij haar mensen kan zijn. Ook met andere dieren kan Perla goed overweg. Ze heeft in het bijzonder een hechte vriendschap met Bya, een Bengaal die ook bij Gabriela verblijft. De twee zijn regelmatig samen te vinden en zouden dan ook een ontzettend leuk duo zijn om samen te adopteren. Voor Perla zoeken we een veilig thuis waar ze ook buiten kan genieten, bijvoorbeeld op een goed beveiligd balkon of in een volledig katveilige tuin. Na haar leven op straat is een veilige buitenruimte natuurlijk een mooie extra. Perla kan direct geadopteerd worden, maar kan ook eerst in opvang komen om haar kansen op een eigen thuis te vergroten. Wie weet is zij samen met Bya wel precies het kattenstel waar jij naar op zoek bent! Perla reist gechipt, gevaccineerd, gesteriliseerd, ontwormd en met een Europees paspoort. Mag Perla binnenkort bij jou op de bank komen kruipen?

About Perla

What life with Perla looks like

Perla is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Dogs on a Journey 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 Perla, answered.

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