Cosy

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 3 months

Cosy does justice to his name; a very content, social and gentle kitten. When he sees or hears you coming, he starts purring and greets you enthusiastically with head butts. Cosy enjoys playing, but always prefers human attention. However, if you leave a door open, he will seize the opportunity to go on an adventure. So be careful! We are looking for a lively, loving household where someone is often at home for Cosy. Cosy can be placed with children of all ages. He is interested in his own kind, but does not need to be placed with another cat. In time, Cosy will want to go outside to discover the quiet, green surroundings.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Cosy doet eer aan zijn naam; een heel tevreden, sociaal en zachtaardig katertje. Wanneer hij je ziet of hoort aankomen, begint hij al te spinnen en begroet hij je uitbundig met kopjes. Cosy vindt spel best leuk, maar geeft altijd voorkeur aan menselijk aandacht. Laat je echter een deur openstaan, dan grijpt hij zijn kans om op ontdekkingsreis te gaan. Opletten dus! We zoeken voor Cosy een levendig, liefdevol huishouden waar vaak iemand thuis is. Cosy kan bij kinderen van alle leeftijden geplaatst worden. Hij heeft interesse in zijn soortgenoten, maar hoeft niet bij een andere kat geplaatst te worden. Op termijn zal Cosy naar buiten willen om de rustige, groene omgeving te ontdekken. Ga terug

About Cosy

What life with Cosy looks like

Cosy is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

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 Cosy, answered.

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