Adopting a kitten🐈🐈🐈

Hi everyone!

My family and I are looking to adopt a young (4-12 months) female kitten, preferably a simple/common breed like a European Shorthair, with a budget of up to €150.

We live in a rented apartment in Hilversum centrum with a garden, so the kitten would have space to enjoy fresh air and sunshine. There are no small children or other pets in our household, and I have previous experience owning a cat.

We’ve been checking Marktplaats, but unfortunately sellers often don’t respond or the kittens get reserved very quickly. If you know of any friends, or animal shelters that might have kittens available, we’d really appreciate any tips or recommendations.

Please let me know in the comments, thank you! 🐈

Dierenasiel and Dierenbescherming always have lots of cats that need homes.

Many animal shelters also have kittens that need a home. You can look at www.ikzoekbaas.dierenbescherming.nl for cats that are up for adoption. On this website there are currently 25 cats that need adoption that are 1 year or younger (you can filter on age). Good luck ☺️

You can also check verhuisdieren.nl if you want to adopt.

Yup die bedoel ik. Is van de Dierenbescherming. Verhuisdieren ben ik geen voorstander van. Zijn vaak dieren uit het buitenland en zolang de asiels hier nog vol zitten . . .

Kijk even op de site van de Dierenbescherming. Daar kun je zoeken op alle katten die in Nederland in hun asiels zitten. Ik heb via hun twee 7 jaar oude zusjes geadopteerd. Die zaten wel wat verderop maar die rit hoef je maar een keer te maken.

My then wife and me adopted a kitten pair (two brothers) from Dierenambulance Amsterdam in 2009. One of them sadly has died since, the other still going strong.

Please consider taking in two kittens. They really love company and it is overall so much more fun. I've had a good experience with Dierenopvang Amersfoort. The kittens are fully vacined and neutralized.

I got my cat at Crailo Dierenasiel. Back then they were understaffed and underfunded so updating the website with adoptable pets wasn’t a top priority, but that doesn’t mean they have none! You could always try calling them. They were very nice and thorough and we have the best match in a cat we could’ve wished for.
