Louis

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

As soon as people enter the shelter, I make contact. I am a friendly boy and like to sit on my owner's lap, if I'm not outside for some fresh air. There isn't much known about me here at the shelter, but I came in with thin fur and a tooth that needed maintenance. This has happened now and my hair also seems to be recovering, but this just needs time. I come from a quiet household and am not used to noise. Visitors are no problem, but children are not for me. If you're interested in this big boy, please send us an email with information about your experience with cats, your living situation, and what you expect of your new housemate. Please include your phone number as well.

Zodra er mensen binnenkomen zoek ik contact. Ik ben een gezellige jongen en zit graag bij mijn baas op schoot, als ik uiteraard niet even buiten ben om een frisse neus te halen. Er is hier in het asiel niet zoveel over mij bekend, maar ik kwam binnen met dunne beharing en een gebit dat wat onderhoud nodig had. Dit is inmiddels gebeurd en ook mijn haar lijkt al een beetje bij te komen, maar dit heeft gewoon ook tijd nodig. Ik kom uit een rustig huishouden en ben geen drukte gewend. bezoek over de vloer is geen probleem, maar kinderen dat is niet aan mij besteed. Heeft u interesse in deze kanjer dan ontvangen we graag een mail met informatie over onder andere uw ervaring met katten, uw woon en leefsituatie en wat uw verwachting is van uw nieuwe huisgenoot. U kunt mailen naar en vermeld daar ook graag uw telefoonnummer bij.

About Louis

What life with Louis looks like

Louis is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Crailo in Hilversum.

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 Louis, answered.

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