Gijs

Mixed Breed · Male

Gijs is a white and black tomcat. He likes to fetch cuddles, but on his own time. Petting him is nice, as long as it's not near his backside. That is sensitive due to his conditions. Gijs is an adventurous cat and would like to go outside. We would like to grant him that, but in the form of a closed balcony or garden. Would you like to meet Gijs? Then fill out our questionnaire to make an appointment. We will contact you as soon as possible.

Gijs is een wit zwarte kater. Hij komt graag knuffels halen, maar wel op zijn tijd. Aaien vindt hij fijn, zolang het niet bij zijn achterhand is. Dat ligt gevoelig door zijn aandoeningen. Gijs is een ondernemende kat en zou graag naar buiten willen. Dit gunnen wij hem ook, maar wel in de vorm van een afgesloten balkon of tuin. Wilt u Gijs eens ontmoeten? Vul dan onze vragenlijst in voor het maken van een afspraak. Wij nemen zo snel mogelijk contact met u op.

About Gijs

What life with Gijs looks like

Gijs is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting ZuiderZee Zwerfdieren in Lelystad.

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 Gijs, answered.

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