Poes

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

Unfortunately, Poes’s owner was no longer able to care for her. She is a sweet, slightly shy cuddle cat who is just over 10 years old (estimated). Poes is incredibly affectionate but needs some time to adjust. Once she trusts you, she loves to curl up on your lap and gives lots of head bumps. She’s not used to a lot of activity in the home, as she was accustomed to being alone with her previous owner. Therefore, a quiet household without other cats, dogs, or children would be ideal for her. She loved taking a fresh breath of air in the garden; she’d stay in the garden and wouldn’t go outside. A house with a garden would thus be something she’d greatly appreciate. Poes has osteoarthritis and receives daily pain relief for it. This is easy to administer, and it makes her feel much better. The cost is about 30 euros per month. We won’t place her near Goes (West).

Poes haar eigenaar kon helaas niet meer voor haar zorgen. Ze is een lieve, beetje verlegen kroelkat van ruim 10 jaar oud (geschat). Poes is ontzettend lief, maar heeft even de tijd nodig om te wennen. Als ze het vertrouwt komt ze graag op schoot liggen en geeft ze veel kopjes. Ze is niet gewend aan drukte in huis. Omdat ze het gewend was om alleen met haar vorige eigenaar samen te zijn. Een rustig huishouden zonder andere katten/honden/kinderen zou daarom ideaal voor haar zijn. Ze ging graag een frisse neus halen in de tuin, ze bleef in de tuin en ging niet daarbuiten. Een huis met tuin zou ze daarom erg kunnen waarderen. Poes heeft artrose, ze krijgt hiervoor dagelijks pijnstilling. Dit is makkelijk te geven aan haar, hier voelt ze zich veel beter door. Dit kost ongeveer 30 euro per maand. We plaatsen haar niet in de buurt van Goes(-West).

About Poes

What life with Poes looks like

Poes is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenasiel De Bevelanden in AE Goes.

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 Poes, answered.

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