Donder en Bliksem

European Shorthair Β· Male Β· Adult Β· 4 years

Donder en Bliksem zijn twee katers van 5 jaar oud. Ze zijn broers van elkaar en blijven in hun nieuwe huis heel graag samenwonen. Ze vinden elkaar nog steeds leuk en spelen regelmatig samen. Verder vinden ze het ook fantastisch om met een hengel te spelen, of buiten achter muizen aan jagen. Gaan graag naar buiten en een kattenluikje wordt zeker gewaardeerd. Wel komen ze regelmatig binnen en zoeken aandacht van hun baasjes. Het zijn ontzettend lieve katten die graag naast je op de bank komen zitten voor een knuffel. Als er bezoek komt gaan ze vaak eerst uit zichzelf boven zitten of buiten. Als ze gewend zijn aan het geluid en ze hebben zin in een knuffel komen ze er toch nog graag bij. Kortom Donder en Bliksem zijn twee heerlijke katten om in huis te hebben en je wordt echt vrolijk van hun aanwezigheid. Ondanks hun namen zijn ze trouwens erg bang voor vuurwerk..

About Donder en Bliksem

What life with Donder en Bliksem looks like

Donder en Bliksem is an 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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±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 Donder en Bliksem, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Donder en Bliksem?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Donder en Bliksem on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Donder en Bliksem if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Donder en Bliksem 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Donder en Bliksem isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Donder en Bliksem 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 β€” 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.
