Maak kennis met Roxy

Female · Adult · 8 years

Hi, I’m Roxy, and I’m a bit of a weird one. One moment, I absolutely love having you around—but the next, I’m hanging onto your arm, teeth included. The signals I give are kind of confusing. On top of that, in my previous home, I used to vent my frustration by pooping and peeing right next to the litter box. Now that I’ve been somewhat reprogrammed at DOA, things are actually going pretty well. I’m looking for a home with someone who’s really, really good at reading dog behavior. Only then do I think I’ll start feeling completely comfortable again.

Hoi ik ben Roxy en ik ben een rare. Het ene moment vind ik het superleuk als je er bent maar het volgende hang ik in je arm, met tanden.. De signalen die ik geef zijn wat verwarrend. Daar bovenop komt nog dat ik in mijn vorige huisje mijn frustratie uitte door naast de bak te poepen en plassen. Nu ik bij DOA een beetje geherprogrammeerd ben gaat dat eigenlijk wel goed. Ik zoek een huisje met iemand die echt heel erg goed is in gedrag aflezen. Alleen dan denk ik dat ik me weer helemaal op mijn gemak ga voelen.

Frequently asked

Adopting Maak kennis met Roxy, answered.

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