Simmie

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Simmie is found under a volunteer's car on a rainy day. He has been living with a foster family since then. Simmie has a fantastic character. He is a friendly kitten who enjoys living indoors with people. He is very affectionate and litter box trained. Simmie has an autoimmune gum inflammation. His teeth are in good condition, only his gums are red and he has occasional pain. It is not contagious. Unfortunately, this is not curable and he will have to live with it. A veterinarian said that with specific nutritional supplements the immune system can be supported and he will not have to have antibiotics as often. Update: Simmie needed some time to settle in the Netherlands with his foster mom. Simmie lives here with more than 10 other cats. He occasionally comes to be petted on his own and sometimes he comes to sit on the couch next to his foster mom to be cuddled. He is sometimes still a bit anxious about unexpected things. He does not like visits either. Simmie needs a home where it is quiet and where there are not too many unexpected things happening. Young children are therefore not an option for him. It is going reasonably with other cats, but not with all of them. However, another cat would be good for him, because this helps him to get used to it faster.

Simmie is gevonden onder de auto van een vrijwilliger op een regenachtige dag. Hij leeft sindsdien bij het gastgezin. Simmie heeft een fantastisch karakter. Hij is een vriendelijk katje die er van geniet om in huis te leven met mensen. Hij is erg aanhalig en kattenbak zindelijk. Simmie heeft een auto immuun tandvleesontsteking. Zijn tanden zijn in goede staat, alleen zijn tandvlees is rood en hij heeft af en toe pijn. Het is niet besmettelijk. Helaas is dit niet te genezen en hij zal daar mee moeten leven. Een dierenarts heeft gezegd dat met specifieke voedingssuplementen het immuunsysteem ondersteund kan worden en hij niet zo vaak antibiotica zal moeten hebben. Update: Simmie heeft een tijdje nodig gehad om een beetje te aarden in Nederland bij zijn opvangmama. Simmie leeft hier samen met meer dan 10 andere katten. Hij komt af en toe uit zichzelf om geaaid te worden en soms komt hij op de bank naast zijn opvangmama zitten om geknuffeld te worden. Bij onverwachte dingen is hij soms nog wat angstig. Visite vindt hij ook maar niets. Simmie heeft een huisje nodig waar het rustig is en waar niet te veel onverwachte dingen gebeuren. Jonge kinderen zijn daarom geen optie voor hem. Het gaat redelijk met andere katten, maar niet met allemaal. Een andere kat zou echter voor hem wel goed zijn, omdat dit hem helpt om sneller te wennen.

About Simmie

What life with Simmie looks like

Simmie is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Mirtos Animal Project 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 Simmie, answered.

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