Adopt Gigi

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

But we do let you get a good look at her. She is of an uncertain nature so it finds it extra exciting with us. Still, she does well and doesn't behave badly. She just tries to hide herself. She is not used to the garden, children, and dogs. But she is used to other cats. We are looking for a quiet stable home for her with people who have a lot of patience and understanding.

maar we laten haar wel vast aan u zien. Ze is onzeker van aard dus vindt het bij ons extra spannend. Toch doet ze het goed en doet niet lelijk. Ze probeert zich alleen te verstoppen. Ze is geen tuin, kinderen en honden gewend. Wel andere katten. We zoeken een rustig stabiel thuis voor haar bij mensen met veel geduld en begrip.

About Gigi

What life with Gigi looks like

Gigi is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at De Poezenboot 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 Gigi, answered.

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