Fussy

European Shorthair Β· Female Β· Adult Β· 4 years

Maak kennis met de lieve Fussy! 🩷 Deze jonge poes is een beetje voorzichtig van aard. De andere katten in de kattenkamer vindt ze best spannend. Ze doet helemaal niets naar hen, maar kiest er liever voor om zich lekker terug te trekken en de rust op te zoeken. Hierdoor komt ze helaas niet altijd goed tot haar recht en wordt ze door bezoekers soms over het hoofd gezien. Ook met jonge kinderen is Fussy niet helemaal op haar gemak. Een huisje met kinderen vanaf ongeveer 8 jaar, of een rustig huishouden zonder jonge kinderen, zou daarom veel beter bij haar passen. Zodra Fussy je eenmaal kent en ze een eigen, rustig plekje heeft waar ze zich veilig voelt, komt er een ontzettend lieve en leuke kat tevoorschijn. πŸ₯° Ze heeft gewoon wat tijd en vertrouwen nodig om haar mooie karakter te laten zien. In de toekomst zou Fussy het ook heerlijk vinden om weer lekker naar buiten te kunnen. 🌿

About Fussy

What life with Fussy looks like

Fussy is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden in LC Leerdam.

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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±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 Fussy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fussy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fussy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fussy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden 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 Fussy 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Fussy isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fussy 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 β€” 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.
