Pim

Male · Senior · 12 years

This is Pim, a 12-year-old shy boy, who came to us because his owner passed away and he would now like to find his new home. Because Pim finds it so exciting, he is not placed with children, we think he will do best in a quiet household without too many stimuli and expectations. We think that with quiet time and patience, he will slowly come out of his shell. Pim has had a dental treatment due to a lot of plaque, he should receive additional treats to reduce this or adjusted feed such as:

Dit is Pim een schuwe jongen van 12 jaar oud, hij is bij ons binnengekomen omdat zijn eigenaar is overleden en hij zou nu graag opzoek gaan naar zijn nieuwe stekkie. Omdat Pim het zo spannend vind word hij niet bij kinderen geplaatst, wij denken dat hij het beste tot zijn recht komt in een rustig huishouden zonder al te veel prikkels en verwachtingen. wij denken dat hij met rust tijd en geduld langzaam uit zijn schulpje zal komen.

About Pim

What life with Pim looks like

Pim is a senior cat waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇳🇱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 Pim, answered.

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