Adopt Shanti

Old English Sheepdog · Female · Senior · 11 years

Shanti is a nearly 11-year-old cat. She is accustomed to living primarily indoors. She is not familiar with children, cats, or dogs. In a home situation, she will withdraw when there is company and reappear once they are gone. Here, we have learned to know her as a reserved cat. She needed time to show herself. This animal is not suitable for homes with children.

Shanti is een poes van bijna 11 jaar oud. Ze is gewend om voornamelijk binnen te leven. Ze is geen kinderen, katten of honden gewend. In een thuissituatie zal ze zich terugtrekken als er visite komt en zich weer laten zien als zij weg zijn. Hier hebben wij haarleren kennen als een afwachtend poesje. Ze had tijd nodig om zichzelf te laten zien. Nu worden wij miauwend begroet als we binnenkomen 🙂

About Shanti

What life with Shanti looks like

Shanti is a senior old english sheepdog cat waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇳🇱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 Shanti, answered.

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