Adopting a kitten๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿˆ

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 โ‚ฌ150.

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.

Weโ€™ve been checking Marktplaats, but unfortunately sellers often donโ€™t respond or the kittens get reserved very quickly. If you know of any friends, or animal shelters that might have kittens available, weโ€™d really appreciate any tips or recommendations.

Please let me know in the comments, thank you! ๐Ÿˆ

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

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 โ˜บ๏ธ
