Adopt Tony

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Tony came to us as a small wild kitten. But that is now quite different. He has become used to people through a lot of handling and loves to be cuddled and scratched. In a new situation, this will have to be rebuilt, which often takes a few days. Tony gets along well with other cats and tomcats, would do well in an apartment with, for example, a balcony, but a house with a garden is also nice for him. We do not recommend small children, but someone over about 12 years old should be fine. A nice, sweet little tomcat that still needs some work, but that is also very nice to experience and do for an animal.

Tony kwam als een klein wild kitten bij ons binnen. Maar dat is nu beduidend anders. Hij is ondertussen door veel in de handen gehouden te worden gewend aan de mens en vind het heerlijk om te kroelen en knuffelen. In een nieuwe situatie zal dit weer opgebouwd moeten worden, dit kost vaak wel een paar dagen. Tony vind andere poezen en katers prima, zou het prima doen in een appartement met bv een balkon, maar een huis met tuin is ook fijn voor hem. Kleine kinderen raden wij niet aan, maar ongeveer boven de 12 jaar zou prima moeten gaan. Een leuke lieve kleine kater waar nog iets werk mee is maar dat is ook juist heel leuk om mee te maken en te doen voor een dier.

About Tony

What life with Tony looks like

Tony is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Flappus in Netherlands.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇳🇱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 Tony, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tony?
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 Tony on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tony 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 Tony 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 Tony 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 Tony 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.
