Jolientje

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Jolientje has been renamed Ollie, a name that suits this handsome tomcat better. Sometimes circumstances change for adopters, and they find it impossible to cope well with these changes for their beloved pets. Due to a change in family composition, with children, Ollie is currently having a hard time at his owners' home, where he has lived for no less than 7 years. From a small kitten he has grown into a beautiful big tomcat, but he struggles to get used to the hustle and bustle that children bring. In Ollie's best interest, we are looking for a new home, a home where he will find peace and stability. He deserves it so much. This is what his current adopter writes about him: Ollie is a sweet and adventurous 7-year-old tomcat. He is a lovely cat who likes to discover the world around him at his own pace. His favorite pastimes? Lying in the sunshine, enjoying the peace and, of course, exploring the garden. Ollie loves being outdoors, but always stays close to the house. Ollie will thrive best in a quiet household without young children. He gets along fine with older children or young adults. He needs a comfortable, familiar environment where he can simply be himself and where he can seek contact on his own terms. Whoever gives Ollie the chance to become part of a new family will get a sweet, cozy and curious tomcat in return. Original text: Found on the street, without a mother, without family, brothers or sisters, just a tiny little bumblebee left to its fate. Now in a foster family with children, where he is completely spoiled and can get used to people and animals, dogs, cats, little humans. A lovely little nothing who is barely a month old but is looking for a warm home where he may stay forever.

Jolientje is omgedoopt tot Ollie, een naam die beter past bij deze mooie kater. Soms veranderen omstandigheden bij adoptanten en lukt het hun lieve huisdieren niet om goed met deze veranderingen om te gaan. Door verandering in gezinssamenstelling, kinderen, heeft Ollie het moeilijk momenteel bij zijn baasjes, waar hij maar liefst al 7 jaar woont. Van kleine kitten, naar mooie grote kater gegroeid, maar hij kan slecht wennen aan de drukte die de kinderen met zich mee brengen. We gaan in het belang van Ollie zoeken naar een nieuw thuis, een thuis waar hij rust en stabiliteit krijgt. Hij verdient het zo. Dit is wat zijn huidige adoptant schrijft over hem: Ollie is een lieve en avontuurlijke kater van 7 jaar oud. Hij is een heerlijke kat die graag op zijn gemak de wereld om zich heen ontdekt. Zijn favoriete bezigheden? Lekker in het zonnetje liggen, genieten van de rust en natuurlijk de tuin verkennen. Ollie is graag buiten, maar blijft altijd lekker rondom huis. Ollie komt het beste tot zijn recht in een rustig gezin zonder kleine kinderen. Met oudere kinderen of jongvolwassenen kan hij prima overweg. Hij heeft behoefte aan een fijne, vertrouwde omgeving waar hij zichzelf kan zijn en waar hij op zijn eigen tempo contact kan zoeken. Wie Ollie de kans geeft om onderdeel te worden van een nieuw gezin, krijgt er een lieve, gezellige en nieuwsgierige kater voor terug. Oorspronkelijke tekst: Gevonden op de straat, zonder mama zonder familie, broertjes of zusjes, gewoon een klein hummeltje aan zijn lot over gelaten. nu in een foster gezin met kinderen waar hij helemaal wordt verwend en gewoon kan worden aan mens en dier, honden, katten, kleine mensjes. Een mooi niemendalletje dat amper een maand oud is maar naar een warme thuis zoekt waar hij voor altijd mag blijven.

About Jolientje

What life with Jolientje looks like

Jolientje is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Jolientje, answered.

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