Polly

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 7 months

Polly is a sweet young female cat who loves to cuddle. She has already adjusted well after a day or two and is always looking for attention. She is a social cat who enjoys being around people. As she is young, she loves to play and be active. Give her some toys and challenges to keep her busy. She is used to living with other cats, but you never know if two cats will get along when they meet for the first time. That's always a challenge. However, it's more fun when cats get along and have a good relationship. We are looking for a home with a cat-loving family who has space to run and climb, and time to play together.

Polly is een lieverdje, jong dametje en knuffelig. Na een dag of 1-2 al aardig gewend en vroeg ook al snel om aandacht. Ze is gezellig aanwezig. Ze is jong, dus wil spelen en bezig zijn. Geef haar wat te doen, geef haar een uitdaging in spelletjes en klimpartijen. Ze is andere katten gewend maar jammer genoeg weet je nooit van te voren of het gaat klikken tussen 2 katten die elkaar niet kennen. Dat is altijd een project. Toch is het leuker, als er een goede klik is, dat katten samen zijn en een maatje hebben. We zoeken een cat-minded thuis met ruimte om te rennen en klimmen! En met tijd om samen te spelen.

About Polly

What life with Polly looks like

Polly is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at De Poezenboot in Amsterdam.

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 Polly, answered.

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