Freya

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Here's Freya. I'm not ready for a new home yet, but I can receive visitors. I had an accident that required my tail to be amputated, I don't even have a stump left! In the coming period, I still need to recover and gain some weight at DOA, I'm incredibly skinny. But skinny or not, I've always been loud. I'll talk your ears off and if you grab food, I won't stop asking if I can have a bite too!

Hai Freya hier. Ik ben nog niet klaar voor een nieuw huisje maar mag inmiddels wel bezoek ontvangen. Ik heb een ongeluk gehad waardoor mijn staart geamputeerd moest worden, ik heb niet eens meer een stompje! Komende periode moet ik bij DOA nog aansterken en wat vetjes kweken, ik ben namelijk ontzettend mager. Maar mager of niet, luid ben ik altijd geweest. Ik klets je de oren van je kop en als je eten pakt dan houd ik niet meer op met vragen of ik ook een hapje mag!

About Freya

What life with Freya looks like

Freya is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Freya, answered.

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