Espresso

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Espresso came to us with a round belly. She was pregnant and her previous owner unfortunately could no longer take proper care of her. Fortunately, Espresso came to us, where she could give birth to her kittens in peace. And what a special mom she turned out to be... Espresso gave birth to four beautiful kittens that she was able to raise in a foster home. Now it's time for Espresso to start her own future. This lady is a calm and gentle cat. She has a nice, friendly character and is looking for a place where she can enjoy her new life in peace. No hustle or bustle, that's not what she likes. Espresso gets along well with older children. She doesn't like other cats very much, so we are looking for a home where she can be the only cat. All attention for herself, then. Espresso would love to be able to go outside in the future, but in a quiet, safe environment. A place where she can discover her surroundings at her own pace and get some fresh air. Who will give this special mom her well-deserved golden bed?

Espresso kwam bij ons binnen met een bolle buik. Ze was drachtig en haar vorige eigenaar kon helaas niet meer goed voor haar zorgen. Gelukkig kwam Espresso bij ons terecht, waar ze in alle rust haar kittens ter wereld kon brengen. En wat een bijzondere mama bleek ze te zijn… Espresso beviel van maar liefst vier prachtige kittens die ze verder groot mocht brengen in een gastgezin. Nu is het tijd voor Espresso om ook aan haar eigen toekomst te beginnen. Deze dame is een rustige en zachtaardige kat. Ze heeft een fijn, vriendelijk karakter en zoekt vooral een plekje waar ze in alle rust kan genieten van haar nieuwe leven. Geen drukte of hectiek, dat vind ze niet fijn. Met oudere kinderen kan Espresso prima overweg. Andere katten vindt ze wat minder gezellig, daarom zoeken we voor haar een huisje waar ze de enige kat mag zijn. Alle aandacht voor haarzelf dus. Espresso zou het fijn vinden om in de toekomst naar buiten te kunnen, maar wel in een rustige, veilige omgeving. Een plekje waar ze op haar eigen tempo haar omgeving kan ontdekken en lekker een frisse neus kan halen. Wie geeft deze bijzondere mama haar welverdiende gouden mandje?

About Espresso

What life with Espresso looks like

Espresso is a large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem in Netherlands.

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 Espresso, answered.

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