Adopt Timo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

The nearly six-year-old Timo was found by concerned neighbors, and since outdoor life didn't really suit him, he came to our animal shelter. Timo is well cared for in the shelter, but he still dreams of his own home. Could this handsome tomcat come to live with you? This is Timo. We don't quite need to address him as 'Mr.' yet, but our Timo does have a rather regal air about him with his beautiful gray coat. He exudes a refined demeanor. At first, Timo didn't find us very appealing. He would hide in a corner with a sour look, as if to say, 'This doesn't suit me.' But gradually, he realized that we are indeed capable staff. We bring him food, and he enjoys a nice pat. And Timo can definitely appreciate that! This handsome man loves a good scratch behind his ears and will lie there contentedly. If he's had enough, he'll turn away. This gray cat with white feet is a gentle, quiet, and modest man, perhaps even a bit shy. He likes to get to know you at his own pace. Loud noises and a lot of commotion don't bother him much; the world is already exciting enough. Because we see Timo becoming more relaxed, we expect that when he's fully settled, he'll gain more confidence in his own home. We're not sure what Timo likes about playing and sitting on laps. About Timo, we know that because everything is a bit exciting for him, he is supported with the natural supplement Zylkene. It's advised to continue this in his new home to make the transition easier, and to gradually phase it out after a few months. What kind of home is he looking for? For Timo, we're looking for a quiet household with a garden so that, once he's fully settled, he can enjoy snuffling around outside. Timo expects his staff to be calm and modest, giving him enough time to adapt. Of course, attention is also important! Regular visits at home are also appreciated. Children and/or other pets don't need to be a concern for him. If you're curious about Timo, contact our animal shelter to arrange a meet-and-greet.

De bijna zesjarige Timo werd door bezorgde buurtbewoners gevonden, en omdat het buitenleven niet echt bij hem paste, kwam hij naar ons asiel. Timo wordt goed verzorgd in de opvang, maar toch droomt hij van een eigen huisje. Mag deze knappe kater bij jou komen wonen? Dit is Timo We hoeven hem nog net niet met ‘meneer' aan te spreken, maar onze Timo heeft met zijn mooie grijze jas wel wat weg van een kater uit een oude adellijke familie. Hij heeft een verfijnde uitstraling. In het begin vond Timo ons dan ook niet zo leuk. Hij verstopte zich met een boze blik in een hoekje, alsof hij wilde zeggen: ‘Dit past niet bij mij'. Maar ondertussen heeft hij door dat wij best handig personeel zijn. We komen met eten en voorzien hem van een lekker aaitje. En daar kan Timo wel wat mee! Deze mooie man houdt wel van een lekkere kriebel op zijn koppie en gaat daar graag eens goed voor liggen. Als hij het genoeg vindt, dan draait hij weg. Deze grijze kater met witte voetjes is een lieve, rustige en bescheiden man, misschien zelfs een tikje verlegen. Hij leert je graag eerst op zijn eigen tempo kennen. Harde geluiden en veel drukte hoeven voor hem niet zo, de wereld is al spannend genoeg. Omdat we Timo steeds meer zien ontspannen verwachten we dat hij in een eigen huis wel meer vertrouwen zal krijgen als hij helemaal gewend is. Wat Timo van spelen en op schoot zitten vindt, weten we nog niet. Goed om te weten over Timo Omdat Timo alles een beetje spannend vindt, wordt hij ondersteund met het natuurlijk supplement Zylkene. Het advies is om dit in zijn nieuwe huisje door te zetten om de overgang wat te vergemakkelijken, en na een paar maanden rustig af te bouwen. Wat voor huisje zoekt hij Voor Timo zijn we op zoek naar een rustig huishouden met een tuin zodat hij, als hij helemaal gewend is, lekker buiten kan snuffelen. Timo verwacht dat zijn personeel rustig en bescheiden is, en hem voldoende tijd geeft om te wennen. En aandacht natuurlijk! Regelmatig thuis zijn wordt dan ook gewaardeerd. Kinderen en/of andere huisdieren hoeven niet zo voor hem. Ben je nieuwsgierig naar Timo, neem dan contact met ons asiel op om een kennismaking in te plannen.

About Timo

What life with Timo looks like

Timo is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenhulpverlening Woerden in Harmelen.

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 Timo, answered.

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