Josje

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 5 months

Josje is a cheerful, sociable little lady with plenty of energy. She absolutely loves to play; anything that moves immediately catches her attention! After a play session, it's time for Josje to come and enjoy a well-deserved massage with her people. This girl is incredibly affectionate and often comes looking for your company. She loves nothing more than snuggling up close, nestling in your arms, or cozily climbing onto your shoulders. With her purring and cuddles, she effortlessly wins you over. Her curiosity is also a big part of her charm: she loves being challenged and getting her brain working. A fun food puzzle? She'll happily make use of it! We are looking for a lively household for Josje where someone is often at home. She can possibly be placed with children aged 6 and up. A home where another social, playful companion animal is already present will suit her nicely, but this is not a must. After an adjustment period, Josje wants to go outside to explore the quiet, green surroundings. Go back

Josje is een vrolijk en sociaal dametje met een flinke dosis energie. Ze is dol op spelen; alles wat beweegt, trekt meteen haar aandacht! Na een speelsessie is het voor Josje tijd om lekker bij haar mensen te komen liggen voor een welverdiende massage. Deze dame is ontzettend aanhankelijk en komt je vaak opzoeken voor gezelschap. Ze kruipt het liefst dicht tegen je aan, nestelt zich in je armen of klimt gezellig in je nek. Met haar gespin en knuffels weet ze je moeiteloos te charmeren. Ook haar nieuwsgierigheid mag niet ontbreken: ze houdt ervan om uitgedaagd te worden en haar hersenen te laten werken. Een leuk voerspelletje? Daar maakt ze met plezier gebruik van! We zoeken voor Josje een levendig huishouden waar vaak iemand thuis is. Ze kan eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 6 jaar oud geplaatst worden. Een thuis waar al een sociale/speelse soortgenoot aanwezig is, zal ze gezellig vinden, maar is geen must. Na een wenperiode wil Josje naar buiten om de rustige, groene omgeving te ontdekken.

About Josje

What life with Josje looks like

Josje is a 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 Josje, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Josje?: 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 Josje on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Josje 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Josje 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 Josje 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 Josje 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.
