Cola

European Shorthair · Female

I’m quite a feisty lady. Not at first glance—then I’m playful and love being cuddled. But sometimes, all of a sudden, I get really angry and start attacking. That’s why I’m looking for a home where people have lots of experience with cat behavior. I really need to build trust and establish a routine; otherwise, I quickly become overstimulated.

NL·Show original

Ik ben een behoorlijk pittige tante. Niet op eerste gezicht, dan ben ik speels en wil ik aangehaald worden. Maar soms dan ben ik ineens zo boos, en dan val ik aan. Daarom zoek ik een huisje waar mensen heel veel ervaring hebben met kattengedrag. Ik moet echt vertrouwen en een routine opbouwen, anders ben ik snel heel erg overprikkeld.

About Cola

What life with Cola looks like

Cola is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Cola, answered.

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