Nisha en Tara

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 3 months

Nisha and Tara are two 3-month-old male cats. They were brought to us as strays, and we know nothing about their past. When they arrived, they were quite sick, and with Tara, we were really worried if he would recover. Fortunately, he has a strong will and is now feeling great. It's lovely to see them together, running and flying, they are now enjoying their good life and causing a stir together. It's probably just catching up on lost time. They are a cheerful pair, always looking for adventure, always up for fun. They are not afraid and can live well in a family, probably even with small children. They are ready to experience a lot together in their new home.

Nisha en Tara zijn twee katers van 3 maanden oud. Ze zijn als vondeling bij ons gebracht, over hun verleden weten we niets. Toen ze binnenkwamen waren ze flink ziek en zeker bij Tara hadden we echt twijfels of hij beter kon worden. Gelukkig heeft hij een sterke wil en voelt hij zich nu weer helemaal prima. Heerlijk om ze nu samen te zien en rennen en vliegen, ze genieten nu van het fijne leven en zetten samen flink de boel op stelten. Zal wel iets met tijd inhalen zijn. Het is een vrolijk stel, altijd op zoek naar avontuur, altijd in voor gezelligheid. Zijn niet bang en kunnen prima in een gezin wonen, waarschijnlijk zelfs met kleine kinderen. Ze zijn er klaar voor om samen veel te gaan beleven in hun nieuwe huis.

About Nisha en Tara

What life with Nisha en Tara looks like

Nisha en Tara is a small puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇳🇱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 Nisha en Tara, answered.

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