Blaze

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Meet sweet Blaze! This beautiful lady is called Blaze and is about 2 years old. ❤️ She is a very sweet cat, but she needs a quiet place where she can be herself. Blaze experiences stress from other cats. That's why we are looking for a home for her where she can have all the attention for herself, without other cats and without children. A quiet environment where she can relax and enjoy at her own pace. 🥰 In the future, Blaze would also like to go outside again. 🌿🐾 A private place where she can put her paws outside the door after a quiet start would be great for her. Who gives this beautiful sweet girl the peace, space and love she deserves? Maybe her golden basket is at your home. 🏡❤️

🐾 Maak kennis met lieve Blaze! Deze prachtige dame heet Blaze en is ongeveer 2 jaar oud. ❤️ Ze is een ontzettend lieve poes, maar ze heeft wel een rustig plekje nodig waar ze helemaal zichzelf kan zijn. Blaze ervaart namelijk stress van andere katten. Daarom zoeken we voor haar een thuis waar ze de aandacht helemaal voor zichzelf heeft, zonder andere katten en zonder kinderen. Een rustige omgeving waar ze lekker kan ontspannen en op haar eigen tempo kan genieten. 🥰 In de toekomst zou Blaze ook graag weer lekker naar buiten willen. 🌿🐾 Een eigen plekje waar ze na een rustig begin weer heerlijk haar pootjes buiten de deur kan zetten, zou dan ook fantastisch voor haar zijn. Wie geeft deze mooie lieve meid de rust, ruimte en liefde die ze zo verdient? Misschien ligt haar gouden mandje wel bij jou thuis. 🏡❤️

About Blaze

What life with Blaze looks like

Blaze is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden in LC Leerdam.

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 Blaze, answered.

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