Maak kennis met Poeski

Maine Coon · Female · Senior · 11 years

Hi, I'm Poeski and things haven't been going so well for a long time. My nails grew into my paw pads, my fur was all matted up and I didn't always do everything neatly in the litter box. Now I get the right food, medication and have been groomed. My nails are trimmed and my litter box is cleaned every day so it almost never goes wrong anymore. I am very specific about that by the way. I want multiple litter boxes placed exactly at special spots and they need to be kept clean. I'm almost ready to go to a new home, but still need some more trust. Sometimes petting feels nice but sometimes it's still scary. So I'm looking for someone who will win my trust slowly and figure out with me where the litter box should be!

Hoi ik ben Poeski en lange tijd is het niet zo goed met mij gegaan. Mijn nagels groeiden in mijn voetzooltjes, mijn vacht was helemaal verklit en ik deed niet altijd alles netjes op de kattenbak. Inmiddels krijg ik het juiste voer, medicatie en ben ik geschoren. Mijn nagels zijn geknipt en mijn kattenbak wordt elke dag verschoond dus het gaat bijna nooit meer mis. Daar ben ik wel heel specifiek in trouwens. De Ik wil graag meerdere kattenbakken precies op speciale plaatsen hebben staan en ze moeten goed schoon gehouden worden. Ik ben bijna klaar om naar een nieuw huisje te gaan, maar heb wel nog wat meer vertrouwen nodig. Aaien vind ik soms al wel fijn maar ook soms nog eng. Ik zoek dus iemand die rustig aan mijn vertrouwen wint, en samen met mij uitzoekt waar de kattenbak moet komen te staan!

About Maak kennis met Poeski

What life with Maak kennis met Poeski looks like

Maak kennis met Poeski is a senior maine coon cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Maak kennis met Poeski, answered.

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