Adopt Roos

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

This beautiful lady, 5 years young (estimated age), came to us last summer with her kittens. She was a very loving mommy, and all her kittens have found homes. However, Roos is a fearful cat; she cannot be petted as she finds it too stressful. We are looking for a calm household where she can simply be herself and no expectations are placed on her. She might be suitable for another cat, but definitely not for a family or a busy household. We expect that she does not venture outside and prefers to stay indoors. Would you like to meet Roos? Drop by during our free walk-in afternoons or call for an appointment. Stichting Dierenopvang Hengelo Zilverstraat 30 7554 NH Hengelo 46.75.18.812 RSIN:

Deze mooie dame van 5 jaar jong (geschatte leeftijd) is afgelopen zomer bij ons gekomen met haar kittens. Ze was een hele lieve mama en haar kittens hebben allemaal een huisje. Roos is echter een angstige poes, ze kan niet geaaid worden dit vindt ze te spannend. We zoeken voor haar een rustig huishouden waar ze gewoon mag zijn en er niets van haar verwacht wordt. Eventueel zou ze bij een andere kat geplaatst kunnen worden. Zeker geen kat voor een gezin of druk huishouden. We verwachten dat ze niet naar buiten durft en binnen wil blijven. Wilt u komen kennismaken met Roos? Kom dan langs tijdens de vrije inloop middagen of bel voor een afspraak.

About Roos

What life with Roos looks like

Roos is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvang Hengelo in Hengelo.

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 Roos, answered.

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