Carrie

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Carrie is a one-year-old female cat. She was brought to us as a foundling, heavily pregnant. In a foster home, she performed her mother role perfectly, but now it's time for her to find her own home. Carrie loves attention and enjoys being close to you. She enjoys cuddling, but doesn't necessarily need to be on your lap. She talks a lot and likes to tell you about her adventures. With little sweet sounds, she likes to get your attention. She is also curious and we think she will enjoy the opportunity to go outside in her new home. This time, she is sterilized!

NL·Show original

Carrie is een poes van 1 jaar oud. Ze is als vondeling hoogzwanger bij ons binnengebracht. In een pleeggezin heeft ze haar moederrol prima uitgevoerd, maar nu is het weer tijd voor haar zelf. Carrie houdt van aandacht en is graag bij je in de buurt. Geniet van knuffelen, maar hoeft niet persé bij je op schoot te komen. Ze klets veel en verteld je graag over haar avonturen. Met kleine lieve geluidjes trekt ze graag je aandacht. Verder is ze nieuwsgierig en we denken dat ze het fijn zal vinden om in haar nieuwe huis de mogelijkheid te krijgen om naar buiten te gaan. Dit keer wel gesteriliseerd!

About Carrie

What life with Carrie looks like

Carrie is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 Carrie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Carrie?
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 Carrie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Carrie 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 Carrie 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 Carrie 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 Carrie 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.
