How do I contact the shelter about Thomas?

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

Can I adopt Thomas 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 Thomas 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 Thomas 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 Thomas 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.

Thomas

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Thomas, Thomas, is a tomcat found in the countryside of Ommen when he was about six weeks old. He now lives with a foster family along with his two brothers and two sisters. It quickly became clear that he is used to people. With his tiger-like outfit, he looks beautiful and when something unknown comes his way, he is the first to take a look. He is very playful and agile, sometimes suddenly jumping into the air and enjoying roughhousing with the other kittens. When he's done with that, he also loves to sit with you and enjoys being petted and cuddled. We are looking for a nice home for Thomas with another cat or kitten. Children are no problem for him and he can probably get along with dogs as well. Besides being super sweet, Thomas is also a tough guy. If you are looking for such a tough sweetheart, look no further!

NL·Show original

Thomas, Thomas, is een kater die gevonden is in het buitengebied van Ommen toen hij ongeveer zes weken oud was. Samen met zijn twee andere broertjes en twee zusjes verblijft hij nu bij een gastgezin. Het werd al snel duidelijk dat hij gewend is aan mensen. Met zijn tijgerachtige outfit ziet hij er prachtig uit en als er iets onbekends op zijn pad komt, is hij de eerste die een kijkje gaat nemen. Hij is heel speels en beweeglijk, maakt soms zomaar een sprongetje in de lucht en ravot graag met de andere kittens. Is hij daar klaar mee, dan komt hij ook heel graag bij je zitten en vindt het dan heerlijk om aangehaald en geknuffeld te worden. Voor Thomas zoeken we een fijn thuis met een andere kat of kitten. Kinderen zijn voor hem geen probleem en waarschijnlijk kan hij het ook vinden met honden. Naast dat Thomas superlief is, is hij namelijk ook een stoere vent. Als je op zoek bent naar zo’n stoere lieve vent, zoek dan niet verder!

About Thomas

What life with Thomas looks like

Thomas is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenopvang Koningen in Netherlands.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇳🇱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.
