Claudius

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Maak kennis met Claudius – keizerlijk in naam, knuffelbeer van faam! Vergeet de Claudius uit de Romeinse geschiedenis: deze Claudius is geen stuntelende, ernstige keizer die vanuit de zijlijn gaat toekijken. Nee, deze harige Claudius is een zelfverzekerde, gezellige en onweerstaanbare charmeur die het liefst zélf bepaalt wie er in zijn rijk mag wonen. En eigenlijk is dat (bijna) iedereen! Waar keizer Claudius bekendstond als terughoudend en wat onhandig, is onze Claudius juist sociaal, ondernemend, atletisch en vol vertrouwen. Hij loopt zijn nieuwe koninkrijk binnen alsof hij er altijd al heeft gewoond en wat hij verwacht van zijn onderdanen is heel eenvoudig: liefde, aandacht en natuurlijk een comfortabele troon. Claudius heeft geen Senaat nodig, geen leger en al helemaal geen Romeins rijk. Een warm mandje, lekkere hapjes en mensen die hem op handen dragen zijn voldoende. In zijn rijk moet wel buitenruimte aanwezig zijn, je kunt je als keizer natuurlijk niet alleen maar binnen verstoppen, het volk is buiten! Claudius zoekt zijn eigen Romeinse rijk: een liefdevol forever home waar hij de keizer mag zijn van jouw hart. Claudius – keizer van de straat, koning van de knuffels. Komt u snel bij hem kijken?

About Claudius

What life with Claudius looks like

Claudius is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Utrecht in Utrecht.

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 Claudius, answered.

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