Kim

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 3 months

Kim is a very active kitten who loves everything and wants to experience it all. She is always on the go and never misses a thing. Due to her endless energy, she can play very enthusiastically and sometimes needs to be calmed down. It is important that she can play with you or a playmate who can keep up with her. Kim loves to be close to you and after all that playing, she can snuggle up on your lap and sleep. We are looking for a family for Kim where people are at home a lot and where there is enough time and attention for her. She can be placed with children from 12 years old who can handle her enthusiasm. In the future, Kim will want to go outside to explore the quiet neighborhood.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Kim vindt alles leuk en is een erg actief kitten. Ze wil niets missen en niets ontgaat haar. Gezien haar eindeloze energie kan ze uitbundig en enthousiast spelen. Hier moet ze soms in afgeremd worden. Het is belangrijk dat ze met je kan spelen of met een soortgenootje die haar bij kan benen. Kim is graag bij je in de buurt en kan, na al dat gespeel, ook bij je op schoot knuffelen en slapen. We zoeken voor Kim een gezin waar mensen veel thuis zijn en waar voldoende tijd en aandacht voor haar is. Ze kan geplaatst worden bij kinderen vanaf 12 jaar die goed met haar enthousiasme kunnen omgaan. Op termijn zal Kim graag naar buiten willen om de rustige wijk te kunnen verkennen. Ga terug

About Kim

What life with Kim looks like

Kim is a puppy/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 Kim, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kim?
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 Kim on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kim 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Kim 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 Kim 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 Kim 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.
