Castor

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 14 years

Castor zoekt een rustig thuis Castor is een lieve kater van 14 jaar. Hij is een wat eenkennige jongen en is vooral gewend geweest aan zijn eigen baasje. Daardoor vindt hij nieuwe mensen spannend en heeft hij tijd nodig om iemand echt te leren vertrouwen. Wanneer je hem die rust en ruimte geeft, krijg je daar een lieve en trouwe kat voor terug. Voor Castor zoeken we dan ook een rustig huis zonder andere dieren en zonder kinderen, waar hij in zijn eigen tempo mag wennen. Een grote tuin hoeft voor hem niet. Een katveilig balkon waar hij lekker even buiten kan zitten is al voldoende. Ook fijn om te weten: Castor heeft recent bloedonderzoek gehad en is helemaal gezond. Gun jij deze senior zijn rustige, liefdevolle gouden mandje? Wil jij Castor zijn foreverhome bieden? Vul dan het interesseformulier in: www.dierenasielnoordwijk.org/interesseformulier-kat Ras: Europese Korthaar Kleur: wit-grijs Leeftijd : 14 jaar Knuffel: nog onbekend Kan bij katten: nee Kan bij kinderen: nee Kan naar buiten: niet noodzakelijk

About Castor

What life with Castor looks like

Castor is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Offem in Netherlands.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇳🇱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 Castor, answered.

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