How do I contact the shelter about Moon?

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

Can I adopt Moon if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis Zeist 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 Moon 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 Moon 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 Zeist early rather than rehoming privately; they know Moon 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.

Moon

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 9 years

Moon is a beautiful female European Shorthair cat. She was given up by her previous owner who could no longer take her to his new home, so he brought her to our shelter. Moon is not only beautiful, but also very sweet and social with people. She has grown up with children, so she would be a great fit for a family. Moon loves to go outside, so a garden is important for her. Does Moon appeal to you? Please contact our shelter.

About Moon

What life with Moon looks like

Moon is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Zeist in AA Austerlitz.

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.
