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 Hoi ik ben Kiezel en ben bijna 12 jaar oud. Ik schijn 8 jaar lang vermist te zijn geweest, beetje apart want ik wist natuurlijk gewoon waar ik was. M’n baasjes hebben zeker gezocht, maar simpelweg niet op de plek waar ik was. Toen ik uiteindelijk zwervend in het asiel terecht kwam bleek ik een chip te hebben (wist ik niets van..) en kwamen m’n baasjes op bezoek. Ik heb met ze gesproken over de woonsituatie die ze me nu kunnen bieden en ik heb besloten die af te keuren. Liever ga ik op zoek naar een nieuwe plek die helemaal bij me past. Ik wil lekker m’n gang kunnen gaan en ik wil zeker naar buiten kunnen. Ik kom kopjes geven, maar verwacht geen knuffelsessies. Ik ben een zelfstandige kater. Andere katten twijfel ik over, maar als er veel ruimte is: wie weet.

About Kiezel

What life with Kiezel looks like

Kiezel is a 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 — 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 Kiezel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kiezel?
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 Kiezel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kiezel 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 Kiezel 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 Kiezel 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 Kiezel 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.
