Adopt Jonko

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

My name may sound tough, but I'm a very small cat of 2 kilograms. I have a strange condition/allergy, which causes blisters on my tongue when I eat the wrong food. Now this is under control, but due to my past, a part of my tongue has died, which you can see in photo 2. I can purr and enjoy, but I need some time to get to know you. I'm looking for a quiet home, so no wrong food for me, and also plants in the house are not a good idea. I tend to chew on them and that gives me an allergic reaction. I also look for a loving owner who is patient with my shy personality. Then I even come onto your lap! Who will come and pet me?

Mijn naam is dan misschien stoer, maar ik ben een heel klein poesje van 2 kilo. Ik heb een gekke aandoening/allergie, waarbij ik blaren op mijn tong krijg als ik verkeerd voedsel eet. Nu is dat onder controle maar door mijn verleden is er een puntje van mijn tong afgestorven, dat zie je op foto 2. Ik kan heerlijk kroelen en genieten maar heb even de tijd nodig om je te leren kennen. Ik zoek een rustig huis en dus geen verkeerd eten voor mij, en ook planten in huis zijn niet zo'n goed idee. Daar kauw ik namelijk op en krijg ik ook een allergische reactie van. Ook zoek ik een lief baasje die geduld heeft met mijn bange karakter. Dan kom ik zelfs op schoot! Wie komt mij kroelen?

About Jonko

What life with Jonko looks like

Jonko is a very small adult european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Jonko, answered.

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