Richard

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Dear Richard is looking for a cozy basket (with a little extra care) This is Richard, an incredibly sweet, calm, playful one-year-old cat. Richard is a special cat. He walks a little differently due to a collapsed pelvis. Fortunately, Richard himself is the least bothered by it. He enjoys life to the fullest and loves being petted and cuddled. Because of his disability, we are looking for a safe home where he can go outside into a fenced-in garden. Are you the buddy who can give Richard the stable foundation he so deserves? If so, please sign up via the adoption form below.

Lieve Richard zoekt een warm mandje (met een beetje extra zorg) Dit is Richard, een ontzettend lieve, rustige speelse kat van 1 jaar oud. Richard is een bijzondere kat. Hij loopt een beetje anders door een ingezakt bekken. Gelukkig heeft Richard hier zelf het minst last van. Hij geniet volop van het leven en laat zich graag kroelen/knuffelen. Vanwege de handicap zoeken we een veilig thuis waar hij in een afgesloten tuin naar buiten kan. Ben jij/zijn jullie het maatje dat Richard de stabiele basis kan bieden die hij zo verdient, meld je dan aan via onderstaand adoptieformulier.

About Richard

What life with Richard looks like

Richard is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Katshuisch 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 Richard, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Richard?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Katshuisch handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Richard on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Richard if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Katshuisch 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Richard 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 Richard 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 Katshuisch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Richard 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.
