How do I contact the shelter about Noortje?

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

Can I adopt Noortje if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel Utrecht 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 Noortje 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 Noortje 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 Utrecht early rather than rehoming privately; they know Noortje 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.

Noortje

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Noortje, a 4-year-old mystery cat, is looking for a forever home. She's a natural beauty with a creative and sporty personality that keeps her young at heart. Initially, she was a bit standoffish, but now she's ready to date. Noortje loves good food and snacks, and she's not picky. She values physical affection, but she needs time to relax and enjoy it. Noortje doesn't want children, as they can be too much for her. She prefers a quiet environment with one or two loving owners who give her space. She's not interested in sharing her partner with other pets. If you think Noortje is your match, come visit her and see if you can turn her life path from a dirt road to a paved one.

Er is een tijd van komen en een tijd van gaan, en de tijd van gaan is voor Noortje wel aangekomen. Althans, dat vindt Noortje zelf. De echte leeftijd van deze poezedame is het best bewaarde geheim van Utrecht en omstreken: Noortje is gevonden en naar haar leeftijd kunnen we alleen maar raden. Wij (als in onze dierenarts) houden het op een jaar of 4. Noortje is een natuurlijke schoonheid en haar creatieve en sportieve leven houdt haar jong van lijf en geest. Aanvankelijk reageerde ze nog wat stekelig op mensen, maar inmiddels lijkt ze de slag van het daten te pakken te hebben. Noortje ontvangt al haar gasten hartelijk en hoopt dat ze wat te eten mee hebben gebracht. Noortjes liefde van de maag gaat door de maag. Hoeft geen kaviaar of champagne te zijn, gewoon een lekker snackje is genoeg voor haar. Het fysieke vindt Noortje belangrijk maar ze heeft daar wel echt de tijd voor nodig. Ze is niet zo meteen van de huppekee. Ze houdt ook waarschijnlijk meer van spelen en van samen op de bank zitten dan van geaaid worden. Belangrijk om te weten is dat Noortje geen kinderwens heeft. Door de drukte die kinderen met zich meebrengen, gaat ieder gesprek zo de grindbak in en dat is gewoon niet wat ze zoekt. Haar knuffel eiwitten komen het beste los in een rustige omgeving met 1 of 2 lieve baasje(s) die haar alle ruimte geven. De andere katten in de ruimte deren Noortje niet. Ze houdt niet van haantjes gedrag en doet er niet aan mee. Maar Noortje wil haar partner(s) liever niet delen met andere huisdieren, ze zoekt echt wel een partner alleen voor haar. Is Noortje uw happen to be? Kom dan eens kijken of u haar levenspad dat nu een zandpad is, kunt omtoveren in een grindpad en misschien kunt u het zelfs wel plaveien.

What life with Noortje looks like

Noortje is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Utrecht in Utrecht.

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.
