How do I contact the shelter about Talli?

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 Talli on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Talli 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 Talli already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs 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 Talli 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 Talli 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.

Talli

Old English Sheepdog · Female · Adult · 8 years

Talli is a sweet 8-year-old cat looking for a calm and understanding home. She's an indoor cat who feels safest in a quiet, predictable environment. Currently, Tali is still quite anxious. She doesn't come to be petted yet and prefers to keep her distance. That's why we are looking for someone who won't push her but will give her the time and space to get used to you at her own pace. Not every cat shows love by coming onto your lap, and that's okay. For Tali, it's important to feel safe without expectations. We hope to find someone who is happy with small steps: a curious glance, some more relaxation, or the moment when Tali decides you are trustworthy. That trust needs to grow, but that's where the reward lies. She has already allowed some staff members in the shelter to pet her and enjoys it thoroughly. Would you give Tali a quiet place where she can just be herself? Then you would give her the chance for a new beginning and a home where she can finally relax. Talli gets special food for her bladder. She is more prone than other cats to bladder infections/bladder stones. To prevent this, she gets these special food and must eat wet food with plenty of moisture every day.

Talli is een lieve poes van 8 jaar die op zoek is naar een rustig en begripvol thuis. Ze is een echte binnenkat en voelt zich het veiligst in een rustige, voorspelbare omgeving Op dit moment is Tali nog vrij angstig. Ze komt nog geen knuffels halen en houdt liever wat afstand. Daarom zoeken we iemand die haar niets oplegt, maar haar de tijd en ruimte geeft om op haar eigen tempo te wennen. Niet iedere kat laat haar liefde zien door op schoot te komen, en dat hoeft ook niet. Voor Tali is het belangrijk dat ze zich veilig mag voelen, zonder verwachtingen. We hopen iemand te vinden die blij wordt van de kleine stapjes: een nieuwsgierige blik, wat meer ontspanning of het moment waarop Tali besluit dat jij toch best te vertrouwen bent. Dat vertrouwen moet groeien, maar juist daarin schuilt de beloning. We zijn in de opvang al zo ver dat ze sommige medewerkers toelaat en zich laat aaien. Hier geniet ze dan uitgebreid van. Gun jij Tali een rustige plek waar ze gewoon zichzelf mag zijn? Dan geef je haar de kans op een nieuw begin en een thuis waar ze eindelijk tot rust kan komen. Talli krijgt speciale brokken voor haar blaas. Ze heeft wat sneller dan andere katten last van een blaasontsteking/blaasgruis. Om dit te voorkomen krijgt ze deze speciale brokken en moet ze elke dag natvoer met veel vocht krijgen.

About Talli

What life with Talli looks like

Talli is a small adult old english sheepdog dog waiting at Dierenopvangcentrum Breda in Breda.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇳🇱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.
