Heester

European Shorthair · Male

My name is Heester, I have a nice treat, and that earring in my ear looks pretty good too! I'm not afraid of a confrontation, let's say. I'm looking for a cottage without other cats, just my own territory. I really like attention (and food) but can suddenly think it's too much. Then I use my teeth. I do give a little warning in advance but you have to pay close attention, otherwise you might miss it. Can you read cats well, then I'm your man!

Mijn naam is Heester, lekkere toet heb ik he, en dat scheurtje in mijn oor staat ook best goed! Ik ben niet bang voor een confrontatie laten we maar zeggen. Ik zoek een huisje zonder andere katten, gewoon mijn eigen territorium. Ik houd erg van aandacht (en eten) maar kan ook ineens bedenken dat het me te veel wordt. Dan gebruik ik mijn tandjes. Ik geef het van tevoren wel een beetje aan maar je moet goed opletten, anders mis je het. Kan jij goed katten lezen, dan ben ik je man!

About Heester

What life with Heester looks like

Heester is a 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 Heester, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Heester?
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 Heester on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Heester 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 Heester 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 Heester 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 Heester 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.
