Doortje

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 12 years

Doortje is an older cat who prefers to live with dogs rather than cats. She comes from a shelter and is now in a rescue. Doortje is very affectionate with people, but she likes to dominate other cats. No problem with dogs. She is a calm cat who likes to walk around but especially has a soft bed where she can lounge.

NL·Show original

Doortje is al een wat iets oudere poes die liever samen leeft met honden dan met katten. Ze komt uit een dodenstation waarna ze gelukkig in opvang kon. Doortje is heel lief naar mensen toe, maar andere katten wil ze domineren. Honden geen probleem. Ze is een rustige poes die graag wat rond kan lopen maar vooral een zacht bedje heeft staan waar ze uitgebreid kan luieren.

About Doortje

What life with Doortje looks like

Doortje is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Doortje, answered.

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