Lizzy

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

Lizzy is a beautiful tortoiseshell cat, 10 years old. Her owner moved in with a partner, and Lizzy had to get used to living with other cats. Since Lizzy was accustomed to going outside, she could easily avoid those housemates. She only came home to eat. Her (former) owner wishes Lizzy a home where she’ll feel completely at ease. That’s why Lizzy is now with the Animal’s Faith foundation, waiting and looking for a new home. Lizzy mostly stays in the outdoor enclosure. It’s not entirely clear whether she prefers staying there because she finds it scary to go inside—and that way she can avoid most of the other cats—or if it’s simply because the outdoor area offers her the best chance to escape the other felines. After all, outside, Simba and Balou, as well as Vivilion, are often calmly and relaxed, enjoying themselves. But inside, most of the other cats are just sleeping, so Lizzy doesn’t need to be afraid of them either. Clearly, Lizzy doesn’t feel comfortable at all. Hopefully, she’ll find a new home for herself very soon—preferably one with a secure garden.

NL·Show original

Lizzy is een mooi schildpadkatje van 10 jaar. Haar baasje ging samenwonen en toen moest Lizzy wennen aan andere katten. Omdat Lizzy gewend was om naar buiten te gaan, kon ze die huisgenoten gemakkelijk ontlopen. Ze kwam alleen thuis om te eten. Haar (voormalig) baasje wenst Lizzy een thuis waar ze zich op haar gemak voelt. Daarom is Lizzy nu bij stichting Animal’s Faith. Wachtend en op zoek naar een nieuw thuis. Lizzy zit voornamelijk in de buitenren. Of ze daar verblijft omdat ze het eng vindt om naar binnen te gaan en omdat ze dan de meeste katten kan ontlopen, is niet helemaal duidelijk. Want buiten zijn vaak Simba en Balou en ook Vivilion, wel rustig en relaxed van buiten aan het genieten. Maar binnen liggen de meeste katjes gewoon te slapen, dus daar hoeft Lizzy ook niet bang van te zijn. Lizzy voelt zich duidelijk niet op haar gemak. Hopelijk vindt ze héél snel een nieuw thuis voor haar alleen, liefst wel met een beschermde tuin. Ras: Europese korthaar - schildpad Geslacht: Poes – gesteriliseerd Geboortedatum: augustus 2016 Keuring: Gevaccineerd, gechipt, ontwormd Kan bij kinderen: Ja, mits begeleid Kan bij honden: Neen Kan bij katten: Neen Kan je Lizzy niet adopteren, maar wil je haar wel steunen?

About Lizzy

What life with Lizzy looks like

Lizzy is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Stichting Animals Faith 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 Lizzy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lizzy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Animals Faith handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lizzy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lizzy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Animals Faith 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 Lizzy 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 Lizzy 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 Stichting Animals Faith early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lizzy 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.
