How do I contact the shelter about Jip twee?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jip twee on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Jip twee if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Jip twee 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 Jip twee 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 Stevenshage Leiden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jip twee and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Jip twee

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hi, I'm Jip and I'm 5 years old. They call me at the animal shelter Jip twee, a bit quirky, I suppose. Apparently, there was already another Jip, and when I arrived, I immediately got number 2 slapped on my head. Well, that's just great… Fortunately, they're pretty okay here, and you'll often find me sitting in the outdoor run. I find it lovely to go out on my own and can't wait to be able to run around freely outside again. A cat flap is a must for me too; I really want to be able to go in and out all day. That's also necessary, so I can get rid of my energy. If I can't, I might be a bit of a nuisance. I can give you a tap or hang from your legs. And negative attention is still attention, so if I just happen to knock over that pesky vase when it's not allowed, I'll probably get some food. I'm pretty independent and not a cuddly cat; a pat on my head is more than enough. Still, I like to be near the boss and don't enjoy being alone at home all day. Playing together is something I cherish, and at night, I like to snuggle up to your feet. I also play with water and love running water. Drinking from the tap isn't strange to me. I'm on a bladder diet and have patella luxation. I don't have any issues with that now. Maybe arthritis could develop in my hind legs later.

Hoi ik ben Jip en ben 5 jaar oud. Ze noemen me op het asiel Jip twee, beetje apart wel. Kennelijk was er al een andere Jip en toen ik binnenkwam kreeg ik meteen nummer 2 op m’n kop geplakt. Nou lekker dan.. Gelukkig zijn ze verder wel okay hier en zie je me regelmatig zitten in de buitenren. Ik vind het namelijk heerlijk om zelfstandig op stap te gaan en kan niet wachten om echt weer lekker vrij buiten te zijn. Een kattenluik is voor mij ook wel een must, wil echt dag en nacht naar buiten kunnen gaan. Dat is ook wel nodig, dan kan ik namelijk goed mijn energie kwijt. Als ik dat niet kan schijn ik nogal eens vervelend te kunnen zijn. Kan ik tik uitdelen of in je benen gaan hangen. Enne negatieve aandacht is ook aandacht, dus als ik net dat enne vaasje wel omgooi terwijl het niet mag, krijg ik vast wel eten. Ik ben best zelfstandig en ook geen knuffelkat, zo af en toe een aai over mn kop is wel voldoende. Toch ben ik wel graag in de buurt van de baas en vind het niet fijn om hele dagen alleen thuis te zijn. Samen spelen waardeer ik en ‘s nachts lig ik tegen je voeten aan te slapen. Verder speel ik met water en hou van stromend water. Drinken uit de kraan is mij dan ook niet vreemd. Ik krijg blaasdieet en ik heb patella luxatie. Daar heb ik nu totaal geen last van. Misschien dat er later wel artrose in mijn achterpoot kan ontstaan.
