Adopt Ginger

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Hello there, my name is Ginger! I am a slightly shy but loving kitten about one year old. I ended up in the animal shelter with my brother and sisters because we had been wandering around a farm for a while. Here, we do get some nice food, but of course, that's not the same as having our own golden litter box! My favorite sister is Turmeric; we can play and wrestle together so much. We would also love to go to our golden litter box together. In the beginning, we might be a bit hesitant (especially me hihi), but once you get to know us, we will enjoy endless petting and scratching. Oh, and you'll need to have a lot of fun toys for us! That was it, dooeeiii!

Hallo daar, mijn naam is Ginger! Ik ben een ietwat verlegen maar lief katertje van een jaar of 1. Ik ben met mijn broertje en zusjes in het asiel beland omdat wij al een tijdje bij een boerderij rondzwierven. Hier kregen we wel lekker te eten hoor, maar dat is natuurlijk niet hetzelfde als een eigen gouden mandje! Mijn allerlievelingst zusje is Turmeric, wij kunnen heerlijk samen spelen en stoeien. Wij willen dan ook graag samen naar ons gouden mandje. Wij kunnen in het begin wat afwachtend zijn (vooral ik hihi) maar als we je eenmaal een beetje kennen genieten we eindeloos van aaitjes en kriebels. Oh, en je moet heel veel leuke speeltjes voor ons in huis hebben! Dat was het, dooeeiii!

About Ginger

What life with Ginger looks like

Ginger 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 Ginger, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ginger?
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 Ginger on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ginger 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ginger 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 Ginger 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 Ginger 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.
