Het invullen van dit formulier betekent niet automatisch dat u ook daadwerkelijk deze kat(ten) bij ons kunt adopteren. Wij doen ons best om zo snel mogelijk contact met u op te nemen. "*" geeft vereiste velden aan Jack is een kater van 5 jaar oud. Hij is afgestaan aangezien het baasje meer in het buitenland zit dan hier waardoor hij veel alleen was.James is zijn broer, maar ze vinden het beide niet nodig om samen geplaatst te worden. Jack is een kat die graag bij je in de buurt is. Komt knuffelen en geniet ervan om op schoot te liggen, is helemaal gelukkig als de baas het fijn vindt om ’s avonds veel op de bank te zitten. Hij komt maar wat graag bij je. Wel pas als hij je kent en zich fijn voelt thuis. Jack is eenkennig en komt alleen bij mensen die hij kent. En als het rustig is om hem heen, heel stoer is hij nu ook weer niet. Zo is het asiel bijvoorbeeld erg spannend en heeft hij wel even tijd nodig om te wennen in een nieuw huishouden. Als hij eenmaal gewend is heb je echt een schat aan Jack.

About Jack

What life with Jack looks like

Jack is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden 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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±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 Jack, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jack?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jack on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jack if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden 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 Jack 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Jack isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jack 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 β€” 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.
