Broeders en Bol

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 3 months

Brothers and Bol are two 16-week-old male cats. They were brought to us after being found wandering on the street with their mother. We suspect they were born outside and they really had to get used to us at first. Fortunately, they are curious and their mother showed us we are good people. They now consider us okay and Bol even comes up to sit on your lap. Brothers is a bit more shy, but he also comes quickly and enjoys a scratch behind his ears. They are active, playful, and can run and fly well. They love playing with children, but very young or very energetic children are still too much for them.

Broeders en Bol zijn twee katers van 16 weken oud. Ze zijn bij ons gebracht nadat ze, samen met mama, zwervend op straat zijn gevonden. Wij vermoeden dat ze buiten zijn geboren en ze moesten ook echt wel wennen aan ons in het begin. Gelukkig zijn ze nieuwsgierig en liet mama zien dat wij goed volk zijn. Inmiddels vinden ze ons welk okay en komt bol ook regelmatig op schoot zitten. Broeders is iets meer verlegen, maar komt toch ook wel snel en geniet van een aai over haar bol. Verder zijn ze actief, speels en kunnen goed rennen en vliegen. Samen met kinderen spelen vinden ze heel leuk. Alleen te drukke of jongen kinderen zijn nog te spannend.

About Broeders en Bol

What life with Broeders en Bol looks like

Broeders en Bol is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇳🇱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 Broeders en Bol, answered.

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