Fiona

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Fiona (no. 22760) is a former mother cat who came to the animal shelter pregnant. She gave birth to 9 kittens at a very young age. She really didn't know what was happening. Now that the kittens are gone, she is a bit calmer, less erratic in her behavior. She can lash out suddenly. This is especially true when she experiences stress, for example when other cats are around. Or if you make a sudden or unexpected movement. She can be very sweet, but it's best to let her take the initiative when it comes to affection. She should not be placed with children or other cats.

Fiona (nr. 22760) is een ex moederpoes die zwanger het Dierentehuis binnen kwam. Ze is super jong bevallen van 9 kittens. Ze wist echt niet wat er allemaal gebeurde. Nu de kittens weg zijn is ze wel wat rustiger, minder wisselend qua gedrag. Ze kan wel ineens uithalen. Dit doet ze vooral als ze stress ervaart bijvoorbeeld als er andere katten in de buurt zijn. Of als je een te snelle of onverwachte beweging maakt. Ze kan heel lief zijn maar aanhalen kun je het beste aan haar initiatief over laten. Ze kan beter niet bij kinderen en andere katten geplaatst worden.

About Fiona

What life with Fiona looks like

Fiona is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierentehuis 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 Fiona, answered.

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