Sandy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Sandy zoekt een rustig thuis Sandy is samen met haar kittens bij ons binnengebracht. Haar kittens hebben inmiddels allemaal een eigen huis gevonden, maar voor Sandy is het nog wachten op een plekje waar ze tot rust kan komen. Sandy is een wat bange poes die snel schrikt. We weten niet wat ze in haar verleden heeft meegemaakt, maar ze heeft duidelijk tijd nodig om aan nieuwe mensen en een nieuwe omgeving te wennen. Ze zal niet meteen op je af komen lopen, maar met geduld en rust kan ze op haar eigen tempo vertrouwen leren krijgen. Dat Sandy samen met haar kittens buiten is achtergelaten, maakt het verhaal extra verdrietig. Ze verdient het om nu eindelijk een plek te krijgen waar goed voor haar wordt gezorgd en waar ze zichzelf mag zijn. Voor Sandy zoeken we een rustig thuis bij mensen die haar de tijd geven om te wennen en niets van haar verwachten. Een plek waar ze veilig kan opgroeien in vertrouwen en waar ze, als ze eenmaal gewend is, ook lekker naar buiten mag. Sandy is van ongeveer februari 2025.

About Sandy

What life with Sandy looks like

Sandy is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierencentrum De Mère 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 Sandy, answered.

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