Luther

European Shorthair Β· Male Β· Adult Β· 9 years

🐾 Luther wacht al veel te lang… Maak kennis met Luther, een prachtige oude kerel van naar schatting 10 jaar oud. ❀️ En toch… zit deze lieve senior nog steeds in het asiel. Dat voelt gewoon niet goed, want Luther verdient zo ontzettend veel meer. Luther werd gevonden als zwervertje en helaas is er nooit iemand gekomen om hem op te halen. Sindsdien wacht hij hier op die ene persoon die hem eindelijk een warm en rustig thuis kan geven. πŸ₯Ί Andere katten zijn niet helemaal zijn ding. Luther heeft liever alle aandacht voor zichzelf en geniet van een rustig leven zonder al te veel drukte om zich heen. Lekker een zacht plekje, een baasje dat van hem houdt en vooral heel veel aandacht… meer heeft deze oude man eigenlijk niet nodig. πŸ₯° Hij is al wat ouder en zou zo graag zijn gouden jaren doorbrengen op een eigen plekje. Een asiel is geen plek waar een senior als Luther zijn oude dag zou moeten slijten. Hij verdient een mandje, een warm huis en iemand die hem laat voelen dat hij eindelijk Γ©cht thuis is. 🏑❀️ Wie geeft Luther zijn welverdiende gouden mandje? Misschien wacht hij al die tijd wel op jou… 🐾

About Luther

What life with Luther looks like

Luther is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden in LC Leerdam.

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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±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 Luther, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luther?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Luther on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Luther if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden 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 Luther 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Luther isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Luther 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 β€” 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.
