I adopted my cat Bubbles from RDCNL.
I found my cat on their page, applied, and was quickly in touch with an adoption coordinator. The adoption process was clear and they communicated well. Bubbles arrived safely at my home and we love her so much!

I adopted my dog Rufus from Rescue dogs and cats in the Netherlands. Everything was very well arranged, despite being in the midst of lockdown at the time. He was very well socialised and taken care of and his character was exactly as described. I cannot recommend them enough

I adopted my cat Snekorius, now Totoro, from RDCNL, and from the beginning, the communication with the organization was very positive. It’s clear that they love animals. Totoro arrived at my home in very good condition and just as they described; he’s a sweetheart of a cat.
