Tom

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Tom zoekt een actief en liefdevol thuis! Hoi, ik ben Tom! Een knappe kater, geboren op 13 april 2025. Helaas moest ik vanwege de ziekte van mijn baasje afscheid nemen van mijn vertrouwde huis. Nu ben ik op zoek naar een nieuw thuis waar ik weer helemaal mezelf kan zijn. Ik ben een kater met lekker veel energie! Stilzitten is niet echt mijn hobby. Ik ben dol op spelen, vind het heerlijk om achter dingen aan te jagen en kan flink door het huis rennen. Van de bank naar de stoel en weer terug, ik ben altijd wel ergens mee bezig! Daarom zoek ik een baasje dat graag met mij speelt en mij voldoende uitdaging en aandacht kan geven. Maar denk niet dat ik alleen maar druk ben, hoor! Ik ben namelijk ook ontzettend aanhankelijk. Ik kom graag bij je in de buurt, geef je volop kopjes en laat met mijn gezellige geklets gerust weten dat ik er ben. Gezelligheid en aandacht vind ik heerlijk! Ik ben gewend om in een afgezette tuin te lopen, maar ik wil wel echt naar buiten kunnen. Een huis waar ik mijn energie kwijt kan en waar ook tijd is voor knuffels en aandacht, zou dus perfect bij mij passen. Ben jij op zoek naar een actieve, gezellige kater die je leven een stuk levendiger maakt én graag bij je komt buurten voor een knuffel? Dan hoop ik dat ik bij jou mijn nieuwe thuis mag vinden!

About Tom

What life with Tom looks like

Tom is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierencentrum De Mère 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 Tom, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tom?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierencentrum De Mère handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tom on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tom if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierencentrum De Mère 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tom 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 Tom 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 Dierencentrum De Mère early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tom 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.
