How do I contact the shelter about Simba?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenopvang Koningen handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Simba on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Simba if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenopvang Koningen 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 Simba 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 Simba 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 Koningen early rather than rehoming privately; they know Simba 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.

Simba

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 6 years

Simba; a very sweet 6-year-old boy who is looking for very loving people who want to give him a loving home. Simba came to us because his owner could no longer care for him. With a heavy heart, he gave up this sweet boy. Simba had to get used to us and is a bit shy. He doesn't come to us right away, but when we come to him and start petting him, he is very enthusiastic and comes all the way to us. He runs after you, comes over to you and is the happiest cat ever! We also understood from his owner that he loves to play, with fishing rods, mice, balls and whatever else is available. Simba gets along well with other cats, but we think he will be a bit overshadowed by multiple other cats in his home. A home for him alone or with a very sweet other cat seems nice for him. Simba is not used to living with a dog. Simba is used to going outside, so he will really appreciate that in the future. This sweetheart has not grown up with children and we think that might be too much for him. We think Simba will be very happy with loving people who can offer him a quiet place, who love to cuddle, who enjoy playing with him and who have a garden where he can lie, run, climb and discover in a while. You are of course welcome to come and meet Simba in person. Then he can show you how sweet he is!

Simba; een ontzettend lieve knul van 6 jaar jong en op zoek naar hele lieve mensen die hem heel graag een liefdevol thuis willen geven. Simba is bij ons gekomen omdat zijn baasje niet meer voor hem kon zorgen. En met pijn in zijn hart heeft hij afstand gedaan van deze lieve jongen. Simba moest echt even wennen bij ons en was en is een beetje verlegen. Zo komt hij niet direct naar ons toe, maar als wij bij hem komen en beginnen met aaien, dan is hij heel enthousiast en komt dan helemaal los. Hij loopt dan achter je aan, komt gezellig bij je en is dan de meest gelukkige kat ooit! Van zijn baasje begrepen wij ook dat hij gek is op samen spelen, met hengeltjes, muisjes, balletjes en wat er verder maar voor handen is. Simba gaat hier prima met andere katten om, maar wij denken dat hij een beetje ondergesneeuwd zal worden door meerdere andere katten in zijn huis. Een huis voor hem alleen lijkt ons dan ook fijn voor hem of eventueel met een hele lieve andere kat. Simba is niet gewend aan het samenleven met een hond. Simba is eraan gewend dat hij ook naar buiten mag, dus dat zal hij in de toekomst dan ook weer heel erg waarderen. Deze lieverd is niet opgegroeid met kindjes en wij denken dan dit dan ook wat te druk voor hem is. Wij denken dat Simba ontzettend gelukkig zal zijn bij lieve mensen die hem een rustige plek kunnen bieden, die van knuffelen houden, die het leuk vinden om met hem te spelen en die een tuin hebben, waar hij over een poosje lekker in mag liggen, rennen, klimmen en ontdekken. U bent natuurlijk van harte welkom om Simba in levende lijve te komen ontmoeten. Dan kan hij zelf laten zien hoe ontzettend lief hij is!

About Simba

What life with Simba looks like

Simba is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen 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.
