Adopt Theo

Mixed Breed · Male

Dear Theo has been in our shelter for months, he was very dirty, came from a muddy house with some other cats, he wasn't neutered and had fought a lot with another tomcat in the house, resulting in abscesses. Now he is finally free and can try his luck with people who will take good care of him. Theo is kind, very kind, gets along well with other cats and a dog is no problem. He isn't used to being outside but would enjoy a safe balcony or a home with a garden. Children should be fine too, he's just a nice tomcat who would appreciate being spoiled a bit. Estimated age around four years.

Lieve Theo zit al maanden in onze opvang, hij was erg vies, kwam ook uit een versmeerde woning met nog wat andere katten, hij was niet gecastreerd en had veel gevochten met een andere kater in huis, abcessen tot gevolg. Nu is hij eindelijk vrijgegeven en mag hij zijn geluk gaan beproeven bij mensen die wel goed voor hem zorgen. Theo is lief, heel lief, kan goed met poezen overweg en een hond is ook geen probleem. Hij is buiten niet gewend maar zou een veilig balkon wel fijn vinden of bij mensen thuis die een tuintje hebben. Kinderen dat zou goed moeten gaan, eigenlijk gewoon een leuke kater die wel toe is om wat verwend te worden. geschat rond de vier jaar oud.

About Theo

What life with Theo looks like

Theo is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Flappus in Netherlands.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Theo, answered.

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