Ayla

Mixed Breed · Female

Ayla is a very sweet cat who loves attention! Once she gets to know you, she loves to snuggle up on your lap. Ayla enjoys playing and is easy to entertain. The only thing she doesn't like are small children and people who don't respect her boundaries. With her previous owners, a grandchild came over and that didn't go well. If you interact with her calmly and let Ayla make the first move, she is a super sweet and affectionate cat. She will often seek you out and let you pet her! Ayla has had bladder stones and therefore eats special kibble and wet food. She also likes to drink water from a fountain. Ayla doesn't go outside anymore, but she did go outside at her previous address. She stayed close to home and found it more exciting to stay close to home than to go on adventures. Ayla can get used to a social, quiet other cat, as long as this contact is built up step by step. We are looking for a quiet household for her without too much noise and stimuli.

Ayla is een hele lieve poes die van aandacht houdt! Als ze je eenmaal kent dan komt ze graag lekker op schoot knuffelen. Ayla vindt spelen leuk en is gemakkelijk te entertainen. Het enige waar ze niet zo van houdt zijn kleine kinderen en mensen die haar grenzen niet respecteren. Bij haar vorige eigenaren kwam er een kleinkind over de vloer en dat ging niet goed. Als je rustig met haar omgaat en Ayla initiatief tot contact laat nemen, dan is het een super lieve en aanhankelijke kat. Ze zal je dan juist vaak opzoeken en zich lekker laten aaien! Ayla heeft blaasgruis gehad en krijgt daarom speciale brokjes en natvoer. Ook drinkt ze graag water uit een fonteintje. Ayla gaat nu niet naar buiten toe maar is op haar vorige adres wel buiten geweest. Ze bleef dichtbij huis en vond het eerder spannend dan heel avontuurlijk om de hort op te gaan. Ayla kan aan een sociale, rustige andere kat wennen, mits dit contact stap voor stap wordt opgebouwd. We zoeken een rustig huishouden voor haar zonder teveel drukte en prikkels.

About Ayla

What life with Ayla looks like

Ayla is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Thuiszorg voor Huisdieren in Netherlands.

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 Ayla, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ayla?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Thuiszorg voor Huisdieren handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ayla on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ayla if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Thuiszorg voor Huisdieren 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ayla 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 Ayla 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 Stichting Thuiszorg voor Huisdieren early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ayla 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.
