Iggy

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Iggy is a very nice young tomcat. He loves people, enjoys chatting and thoroughly enjoys all the attention. He rarely misses out on a cuddle session and also seeks out companionship himself. Iggy can get very enthusiastic about food. Sometimes he gets a bit fanatical and lashes out when it takes too long. Food puzzles, brain games and other forms of food enrichment help him to release his energy in a fun and challenging way. We are looking for a cozy, lively household where someone is at home regularly for Iggy. Iggy can possibly be placed with children from 12 years old. We do not place Iggy with other cats as he does not react well to them. After an adjustment period Iggy wants to go outside to discover the green, quiet environment.

NL·Show original

Iggy is een ontzettend leuke, jonge kater. Hij is dol op mensen, maakt graag een praatje en geniet volop van alle aandacht. Een knuffelsessie slaat hij dan ook zelden af en zoekt daarnaast het gezelschap zelf op. Iggy kan erg enthousiast worden van eten. Soms is hij daarin wat fanatiek en haalt hij uit wanneer het te lang duurt. Voerpuzzels, denkspellen en andere vormen van voedselverrijking helpen hem om zijn energie op een leuke en uitdagende manier kwijt te kunnen. We zoeken voor Iggy een gezellig, levendig huishouden waar regelmatig iemand thuis is. Iggy kan eventueel geplaatst worden bij kinderen vanaf 12 jaar oud. We plaatsen Iggy niet bij soortgenoten, aangezien hij hier niet goed op andere katten reageert. Na een wenperiode wil Iggy naar buiten om de groene, rustige omgeving te ontdekken. Ga terug

About Iggy

What life with Iggy looks like

Iggy is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

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 Iggy, answered.

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