Izzy

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 3 months

Izzy is an energetic and playful kitten who loves to be close to you. She's always the first one with her curious nose. Izzy is very social and fearless, except for the vacuum cleaner. When she sees you, she greets you immediately with loud purring. She likes to be petted, play with you, and sometimes just lie down next to you. However, that doesn't last long... then she gets itchy and becomes active again. Izzy can be placed with another young companion. It is important that they have the same amount of energy, because Izzy goes all in! We are looking for a cozy home where someone is often at home for Izzy. She can be placed with children from 6 years old. In time, Izzy will want to go outside to explore the green and quiet environment.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Izzy is een energiek, speels kitten die het heerlijk vindt om bij je in de buurt te zijn. Ze zit met haar nieuwsgierige neus overal als eerste bij. Izzy is heel sociaal en nergens bang voor, behalve de stofzuiger. Als ze je ziet, begroet ze je gelijk met luid gespin. Ze wil graag geaaid worden, met je spelen, en soms even bij je liggen. Dat laatste duurt echter niet lang…dan krijgt ze de kriebels en is ze weer actief. Izzy kan bij een andere jonge soortgenoot geplaatst worden. Wat wel belangrijk is, is dat ze dezelfde hoeveelheid energie hebben, want Izzy gaat er vol in! We zoeken voor Izzy een gezellig huishouden waar vaak iemand thuis is. Ze kan prima bij kinderen vanaf 6 jaar oud geplaatst worden. Op termijn zal Izzy graag naar buiten willen om de groene, rustige omgeving te verkennen. Ga terug

About Izzy

What life with Izzy looks like

Izzy is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇳🇱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 Izzy, answered.

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