Ralf

Mixed Breed · Male

Deze stoere kop behoort tot kater Ralf. Ralf kwam bij ons via een TNR actie. De terreineigenaren waren niet blij met zijn aanwezigheid, want hij zou nogal een onruststoker zijn. Gezien zijn sociale karakter en het gegeven dat de boer hem niet terug wilde, besloten we voor Ralf een nieuw onderkomen te zoeken. Toen Ralf bij ons kwam, zat zijn kop vol met littekens en had hij ernstig ontstoken ogen, hij heeft het duidelijk een poos zwaar gehad. Deze oogontstekingen bleken te komen door entropion, een aandoening waarbij de oogleden naar binnen krullen en de haartjes constante irritatie veroorzaken op het oog. Onze dierenarts heeft doormiddel van een ooglidcorrectie het probleem kunnen verhelpen en na een periode van herstel merken we dat Ralf enorm opgeknapt is. Ralf is, ondanks zijn stoere uiterlijk, in het bezit van een fantastisch karakter. Ralf is een heerlijk relaxed type. Hij wordt nergens warm of koud van, andere katten, nieuwe verzorgers, een verhuizing naar een verblijf, of een zalfje in zijn pijnlijke oog. Ralf vindt het allemaal prima. Zolang Ralf zijn portie aandacht krijgt, regelmatig lekkere happies verschaft wordt en in een veilige omgeving zijn ommetje buiten mag maken is Ralf gelukkig. In zijn dankbaarheid zal hij een gezellige huisgenoot worden welke graag bij je komt voor een portie aandacht. Ralf zou in de meeste situaties goed tot zijn recht komen. Mogelijk vindt hij heel jonge kinderen wel wat spannend.

About Ralf

What life with Ralf looks like

Ralf is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Kat in Nood 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 Ralf, answered.

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