Kitty

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 13 years

Kitty is a friendly and content lady who loves human company. She is very people-oriented and enjoys coming to you for a pat or a scratch. Despite her preference for companionship, Kitty can also entertain herself and follows her own path. We place Kitty in a lively household where she doesn't have to be alone too often. She can be placed with children from 12 years old. Kitty prefers to have the place to herself, without pets, so she doesn't have to share attention and love with anyone. She can be kept as an indoor cat, provided there is enough space and challenge indoors.

Kitty is een gezellige en tevreden dame die dol is op menselijk gezelschap. Ze is dan ook erg op mensen gericht en komt graag naar je toe voor een aai of een kriebel. Ondanks haar voorkeur aan gezelschap, kan Kitty zich ook prima alleen vermaken en bewandelt ze rustig haar eigen pad. We plaatsen Kitty is een levendig huishouden waar ze niet te vaak alleen hoeft te zijn. Ze kan eventueel geplaatst worden bij kinderen vanaf 12 jaar oud. Kitty heeft bij voorkeur het rijk voor zichzelf, zonder huisdieren, zodat ze alle aandacht en liefde met niemand hoeft te delen. Ze kan als binnenkat gehouden worden, mits er voldoende ruimte en uitdaging binnenshuis aanwezig is. Ga terug

About Kitty

What life with Kitty looks like

Kitty is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇳🇱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 Kitty, answered.

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