Tessel

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Welcome Tessel A young lady, around 1 year old, came to us recently with 9 other cats and kittens. Of course, they have all been properly cared for, neutered, and microchipped. (At the time of adoption, we transfer the chip to the new owner's name) Interventions were necessary because the care left something to be desired somewhere in the Netherlands. Some of them may need a bit more time to acclimate, and that's perfectly fine. Tessel has discovered that there are many cat lovers and cuddlers here. Tessel is ready to be adopted. Curious? Questions?

Welkom Tessel Een jongedame van ca 1 jaar oud is onlangs bij ons gekomen samen met nog 9 andere poezen en katers. Uiteraard zijn ze allemaal netjes geholpen, geënt en gechipt. (Bij plaatsing zetten wij de chip op naam van de nieuwe eigenaar) Er werd ingegrepen omdat de zorg te wensen over liet, ergens in Nederland. Sommigen moeten nog even acclimatiseren en dat mag natuurlijk. Tessel heeft echter ontdekt dat hier veel kattenliefhebbers en knuffelaars zijn Tessel is klaar om geadopteerd te worden. Nieuwsgierig? Vragen? Mail of bel vooral en wie weet kunt u haar binnenkort in levende lijve bewonderen

About Tessel

What life with Tessel looks like

Tessel is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at DOC Oldenzaal 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 Tessel, answered.

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