Livvy

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

This is Livvy, a 12-week-old kitten. She was found and wasn't doing well, but has since recovered and is ready for the next chapter in her life. She loves food, which is high on her list, followed by playing and exploring the world. When she's tired, she seeks you out to fall asleep on your lap. Now she's looking for a nice home where she can continue to grow and be spoiled. If there's already a social and playful companion living there, that's perfect.

Dit is Livvy, een poesje van ongeveer 12 weken oud. Ze is gevonden en was er niet goed aan toe maar is inmiddels goed aangesterkt en klaar voor het volgende hoofdstuk in haar leven. Ze is gek op eten en dat staat ook hoog op haar lijstje gevolgd door spelen en de wereld ontdekken. Als ze moe is zoekt ze je op om heerlijk op schoot in slaap te vallen. Nu is ze op zoek naar een fijn thuis waar ze verder mag opgroeien en heerlijk verwend gaat worden. Als er al een sociaal en speels soortgenootje woont is dat perfect.

About Livvy

What life with Livvy looks like

Livvy is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 Livvy, answered.

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