Dotje

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 3 months

Foster Family Character Description: Dotje is a gentle and sociable kitten. Besides her love of attention, she is very happy when playing. Whether she plays with her sisters or entertains herself on her own, Dotje thoroughly enjoys her adventures! When things get too busy for her, she simply seeks out some quiet to recover. Dotje likes to look up her people, and as soon as she gets a bit of attention and cuddles, she quickly starts purring contentedly. With her gentle nature and calm presence, Dotje will quickly win your heart! We are looking for a loving household for Dotje where someone is regularly present. She can possibly be placed with children aged 12 and older. Dotje gets along well with her adult fellow cats. Her littermates, on the other hand, she sometimes finds too rowdy. Dogs still feel very exciting to her at the moment. In time, Dotje would like to go outside to explore the safe, green surroundings. Go back

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Dotje is een zachtaardig en sociaal kitten. Naast haar liefde voor aandacht, wordt ze zeer gelukkig van spel. Of ze nu samen met haar zusjes speelt of zich zelfstandig vermaakt, Dotje geniet volop van haar avonturen! Wanneer het haar allemaal te druk wordt, zoekt ze de rust gewoon even op om weer bij te komen. Dotje zoekt haar mensen graag op en zodra ze wat aandacht en kriebels krijgt, begint ze al snel tevreden te spinnen. Met haar zachte karakter en rustige uitstraling weet Dotje je hart snel te veroveren! We zoeken voor Dotje een liefdevol huishouden waar regelmatig iemand aanwezig is. Ze kan eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 12 jaar oud geplaatst worden. Dotje kan goed met haar volwassen soortgenoten overweg. Haar nestgenoten vindt ze daarentegen soms te druk. Honden vindt ze op dit moment nog erg spannend. Op den duur wil Dotje graag naar buiten om de veilige, groene omgeving te ontdekken. Ga terug

About Dotje

What life with Dotje looks like

Dotje is a 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 Dotje, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dotje?: 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 Dotje on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dotje 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Dotje 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 Dotje 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 Dotje 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.
