Youp

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

Youp has been rehomed. Unfortunately, he didn't turn out to be a good match for the cats already living in the home. As a result, Youp experienced a great deal of stress. That's why we're now looking for a new home for him—one that doesn't have any other cats. Youp is a beautiful 5-year-old Oriental Shorthair. He absolutely loves attention and doesn't like being left alone at home. He can handle short periods of solitude, but not all day long. He's truly a typical Oriental Shorthair! He also enjoys curling up on laps. And he’s quite the chatterbox too! We won't place him in a household with young children, as he feels anxious around them. Other cats and/or dogs are also a definite no-go. Youp has smaller airways, which is why he’s already undergone two surgeries by a specialist. You can hear his breathing, but otherwise he doesn’t seem to be bothered by it. Youp loves being outdoors, so we’re looking for a new home with a securely enclosed garden—either a run or a cat-proof enclosure equipped with fencing and wire mesh from, for example, Tuintijgers (www.tuintijgers.nl). In the past, Youp had bladder problems, which is why he’s been given a special diet food: Royal Canin Veterinary Urinary s/o. Fortunately, this food is only slightly more expensive than standard food (Royal Canin Fit 32)*.

NL·Show original

Youp is afgestaan. Hij bleek helaas niet te matchen met de al aanwezige katten. Youp had daardoor veel stress. Vandaar dat wij nu een nieuw thuis voor hem gaan zoeken waar géén andere katten wonen. Youp is een prachtige Oosterse korthaar van 5 jaar. Hij is dol op aandacht en is niet graag alleen thuis. Even moet kunnen, maar niet hele dagen. Een typische Oosterse korthaar dus! Hij komt ook graag op schoot liggen. Hij kan ook lekker "kletsen". We plaatsen hem niet in een huishouden met jonge kinderen, want daar is hij bang voor. Ook andere katten en/of honden zijn een no go. Youp heeft kleinere luchtwegen. Hij is om die reden ook al twee keer geopereerd door een specialist. U hoort zijn ademhaling, maar hij ervaart hier verder geen last van. Youp is graag buiten. Hij zoekt dus een nieuw thuis met een afgesloten tuin (ren of catproof afgezet met beugels en draad van bijvoorbeeld Tuintijgers (www.tuintijgers.nl)). In het verleden had Youp blaasproblemen. Vandaar dat hij dieetvoer krijgt. Dit is Royal Canin Veterinary Urinary s/o. Gelukkig is dit voer maar iets duurder dan het standaard voer (Royal Canin Fit 32)*.

About Youp

What life with Youp looks like

Youp is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenasiel De Bevelanden in AE Goes.

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 Youp, answered.

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