How do I contact the shelter about Lesly?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenhulpverlening Woerden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lesly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Lesly if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenhulpverlening Woerden 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 Lesly 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 Lesly 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 Dierenhulpverlening Woerden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lesly 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.

Lesly

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Lesly is a one-year-old friendly and playful kitten. He has a mischievous face and looks at you expectantly. He loves it when you pick up the feather toy and play with him. What a great toy that is! This energetic cat jumps and runs fanatically after his "prey." If he catches it, he proudly walks around with it before happily chewing on it. If you move the feather again, Lesly will immediately run after it! People find this beautiful cat very sociable. He likes to be around you and will come over for a pat and a head scratch. He doesn't need to be cuddled all the time, but this sweet boy can certainly enjoy a little attention. Lesly wants to know what's going on around him. If he hears a noise, he has to investigate. He doesn't like to hide; he goes straight to it. All those impressions sometimes make him a bit restless. He sometimes finds it difficult to relax. We expect this to become easier in a familiar environment. A quiet environment is therefore good for Lesly, but he must not get bored, of course. What kind of play paradise is he looking for? Lesly himself thinks it's important that there is a feather toy and a person who wants to play with it. Oh yes, and a nice garden where he can roam around and discover enough. Lesly reacts quickly to sounds and can get a bit restless if it's busy around him. That's why we're looking for a not too busy household for him. We don't know what he thinks of children. He might fit in with quiet older kids who know how to handle cats. Playmates in his house or an environment with many cats? No, that's not a good idea. Lesly is not used to playing with other cats and sharing his toys. We also don't place him with dogs. If you're curious about Lesly, please contact our shelter to schedule an appointment.

Volgens Shakespeare is de hele wereld een toneel, maar onze Lesly ziet hem meer als één grote speeltuin. Mag hij bij jou komen spelen? Dit is Lesly De eenjarige Lesly is een vriendelijk en vrolijk ventje. Met zijn guitige koppie kijkt hij je verwachtingsvol aan. Het allerliefste wil hij dat je de hengel met veer pakt en met hem speelt. Want wat een geweldig speelgoed is dat! Deze energieke man springt en rent fanatiek achter zijn ‘prooi’ aan. Heeft hij hem gevangen, dan stapt hij er trots mee rond om er vervolgens tevreden op te kauwen. Beweeg je de veer opnieuw? Dan sprint Lesly er natuurlijk meteen weer achteraan! Mensen vindt deze mooie man hartstikke gezellig. Hij is graag bij je in de buurt en komt gerust even langs voor een aaitje en een kopje. Hij hoeft niet de hele tijd geknuffeld te worden, maar van een beetje aandacht kan deze lieve jongen zeker genieten. Lesly wil graag weten wat er om hem heen gebeurt. Hoort hij ergens een geluidje, dan moet hij natuurlijk even poolshoogte nemen. Wegkruipen doet hij liever niet; hij gaat er juist op af. Al die indrukken lijken hem soms wel wat onrustig te maken. Hij vindt het soms nog best lastig om te ontspannen. We verwachten dat dit in een vertrouwde omgeving steeds makkelijker zal worden. Een rustige omgeving is daarom fijn voor Lesly, maar vervelen mag hij zich natuurlijk ook niet. Wat voor speelparadijs zoekt hij? Lesly zelf vindt het vooral belangrijk dat er een hengel met veer aanwezig is én een mens die die hengel wil bedienen. O ja, en een lekkere tuin waar hij kan rondstruinen en genoeg te ontdekken heeft. Lesly reageert snel op geluiden en kan wat onrustig worden als het om hem heen druk is. Daarom zoeken we een niet al te druk huishouden voor hem. Wat hij van kinderen vindt, weten we niet. Hij zou misschien wel passen bij rustige oudere kids die weten hoe je met katten omgaat. Soortgenootjes in zijn huis of een omgeving met veel katten? Nee, dat is geen goed idee. Lesly is niet gewend om samen met andere katten te spelen en zijn speelgoed te delen. Ook bij honden plaatsen we hem niet. Ben je nieuwsgierig naar Lesly, neem dan contact met ons asiel op om een kennismaking in te plannen.

About Lesly

What life with Lesly looks like

Lesly is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierenhulpverlening Woerden in Harmelen.

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.
