Adopt Wilfred

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

A Lexus was found on the path to the animal shelter: sitting, calm, probably waiting for the car that left him there abandoned. Despite everything, he is a loving and very affectionate dog. He seeks contact with people and loves receiving cuddles; if you bring your face close to his, he gives you kisses without hesitation. He enjoys walks a lot, rolling in the grass, and playing with you whatever game you want. Lexus is one of those grateful companions who only need a chance to show all the love that is inside him.

About Wilfred

What life with Wilfred looks like

Wilfred is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenthuis Almere in Almere.

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 Wilfred, answered.

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