Gilbert

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Hallo allemaal, ik ben Gilbert. Ik ben een leuke kater van ongeveer 1 jaar oud en ready om een eigen plekje te vinden! Ik zoek een huisje waar ik, nadat ik lekker gesettled ben, naar buiten kan. Een afgesloten tuin of balkon werkt ook voor mij. Wel moet het een huis zijn waar geen andere dieren zijn, daar hou ik namelijk absoluut niet van. Ze denken hier dat ik wel met kinderen kan vanaf 6 jaar, maar dit zal ten alle tijden gecontroleerd worden tijdens een kennismaking. Ik ben nog jong en lekker speels, lig graag hoog op een krabpaal of in een huisje. Denkt u mijn match te zijn? Neem dan contact op met het asiel.

About Gilbert

What life with Gilbert looks like

Gilbert is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenasiel 't Julialaantje in Rijswijk.

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 Gilbert, answered.

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