Oki Family

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten · 3 months

We are the Oki family and are about 12 weeks old. In total, we are 8 kittens, from two mothers. We were born outside, but fortunately always cared for by people. We are not afraid because of this. We love to play, climb and be silly. We get along well with each other and don't mind being placed in pairs. But if you have a nice home with or without a companion, that would definitely be an option too. Contact our caregivers and who knows, we'll see you soon and you can see which one of us you like best. And yes, black cats are just as fun as red ones.

Hallo, wij zijn de Oki familie en zijn een week of 12 oud. In totaal zijn we met 8 kittens, van twee moeders. We zijn buiten geboren, maar gelukkig wel altijd verzorgd door mensen. Bang zijn we daardoor niet. We houden van spelen, klauteren en gek doen. Kunnen goed met elkaar overweg en vinden het niet erg om in duo’s te worden geplaatst. Maar als je een leuk huis hebt met of zonder soortgenoot zou dat zeker ook een optie zijn. Neem contact op met onze verzorgers en wie weet zien we je snel en kan je kijken wie je van ons het leukst vindt. En ja, zwarte katten zijn net zo leuk als rode.

About Oki Family

What life with Oki Family looks like

Oki Family is a 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 Oki Family, answered.

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