Renée

Male · Young · 2 years

I am Bonkie Renee and when I first came to DOA I had a lot of pent-up anger. I took it out on my hands and other cats. Now I'm a bit calmer, which may also be due to my castration. I can still be a bit grumpy sometimes and I like it when my space is respected, but I also love it when visitors can scratch behind my ears!

Ik ben bonkie Renée en toen ik net bij DOA kwam had ik best veel opgekropte boosheid. Ik reageerde dat af op handen en andere katten. Nu ben ik wat gekalmeerd, dat zal ook met mijn castratie te maken hebben. Ik kan nog steeds soms wat narrig zijn en vind het fijn als mijn space gerespecteerd wordt, maar vind het ook heel gezellig om bezoek te krijgen wat onder mijn kinnetje kan kriebelen!

About Renée

What life with Renée looks like

Renée is a young adult cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Renée, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Renée?
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 Renée on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Renée 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 Renée 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 Renée 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 Renée 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.
