Saartje

Female

Select one of our foster families selected by the Breda Animal Shelter. If interested, please contact the foster family directly. Email address: Black and white cat Saartje is a sweetheart. Despite her young age, she has already experienced quite a lot, but fortunately, this has not affected her trust in humans, on the contrary. As a mother cat, she has given her little ones all the love she could offer and also given them a thorough upbringing, including the necessary lessons in hunting technique. Now it's time to find a nice, safe home for Saartje. She is a very sweet cat, can be alone and is easy to get along with everyone. She likes to be close to her people and will nestle under or behind your chair or on the armrest of the sofa. Occasionally, she likes to cuddle on your lap, but not too long, of course! And then she will enthusiastically chase after an escaping ball 🎾 The veterinarian has diagnosed a heart murmur, she has no complaints about it and does not use medication. The expectation is that this congenital defect will not cause problems in the future, the prognosis is favorable. Who can give Saartje the peace, space and security she deserves? A safe garden where she can enjoy the sun on warm days would be great. Send an email and tell us why you think Saartje can find a nice and loving home with you.

Deze katten verblijven in één van onze pleeggezinnen die zijn geselecteerd door het Dierenopvangcentrum Breda. Bij interesse kunt u zelf contact opnemen met het pleeggezin. Emailadres: Zwart-witte poes Saartje is een schatje. Ondanks haar jonge leeftijd heeft ze eigenlijk al best veel meegemaakt, maar gelukkig heeft dat haar vertrouwen in de mens niet aangetast, integendeel. Als mamapoes heeft ze haar kleintjes alle liefde gegeven die ze kon bieden en hen bovendien een gedegen opvoeding meegegeven, inclusief de nodige lessen in jachttechniek. Nu is het tijd om voor Saartje een fijn, veilig eigen plekje te vinden. Ze is een hele lieve poes, kan prima alleen zijn en is voor iedereen gemakkelijk in de omgang. Hier zoekt ze graag de nabijheid van haar mensen en nestelt zich bijvoorbeeld onder of achter je stoel of gezellig op de armleuning van de bank. Af en toe even lekker op schoot kroelen, maar vooral niet te lang hoor! En daarna gaat ze alweer enthousiast achter een ontsnappend balletje aan 😉 Door de dierenarts is een hartruis vastgesteld, zij heeft hier geen klachten van en gebruikt geen medicatie. De verwachting is dat deze aangeboren afwijking in de toekomst geen problemen zal geven, de prognose is gunstig. Wie kan Saartje de rust, ruimte en geborgenheid bieden die ze zo verdient? Een veilig tuintje waar ze op warme dagen van het zonnetje kan genieten, zou natuurlijk helemaal geweldig zijn. Stuur een e-mail en vertel waarom jij denkt dat Saartje bij jou een fijn en liefdevol thuis kan vinden.

About Saartje

What life with Saartje looks like

Saartje is a adult cat waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

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 Saartje, answered.

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