How do I contact the shelter about Okkie & Onna?

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 Okkie & Onna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Okkie & Onna 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 Okkie & Onna 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 Okkie & Onna 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 Okkie & Onna 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.

Okkie & Onna

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 5 months

Okkie and his sister Onna are two 5-month-old cats who are ready for a home where they can play and cause mischief together. They were shy when they arrived, but Okkie has warmed up and is now hard to get off the lap. Onna is not quite there yet, but it's just a matter of time. They are still a bit skittish around strangers and hide at first, so you'll need to build a bond with them before they open up. They are worth it, though! We are looking for a quiet home for Okkie and Onna, without (small) children. They get along well with other cats, so it's no problem if you already have a cat. As long as your cat is happy with two little rambunctious cats, that is. They are growing fast and are full of energy, so your home needs to be big enough to accommodate that. They would do well in a house with a garden or a large (!) apartment, as long as they have a place to burn off energy. If you think Okkie and Onna would be a good fit for you, please contact us.

Graag stellen we Okkie en zijn zus Onna aan u voor. Ze zijn zo’n 5 maanden oud en zijnhelemaal klaar voor een eigen huis waar ze samen de boel op stelten mogen zetten. Zekwamen binnen als schuwe katjes, maar inmiddels is Okkie helemaal om en nauwelijks nog van schoot te krijgen. Onna is nog niet helemaal zover, maar dat is een kwestie van tijd. Ze zijn nog steeds wat schrikachtig voor vreemden en verstoppen zich dan in eerste instantie. U zult dus echt eerst een band met ze op moeten bouwen voor ze zich helemaal bloot zullen geven. Maar dit stel is het dubbel en dwars waard!We zoeken een rustig thuis voor Okkie en Onna, zonder (kleine) kinderen. Ze kunnen het uitstekend vinden met andere katten, dus het is geen enkel probleem als u al een kat heeft. Als uw kat natuurlijk blij wordt van twee van die kleine druktemakers… Honden kennen ze (nog) niet maar dat is vast geen probleem als uw hond al ervaring heeft met katten en niet achter ze aan jaagt als ze gaan rennen… Ze groeien als kool en barsten van de energie, dus uw huis moet groot genoeg zijn om die kwijt te kunnen. We denken dat ze het zowel in een huis met tuin als een groot (!) appartement prima naar hun zin zullen hebben, zolang ze hun energie maar lekker kwijt kunnen.Neemt u even contact met ons op als u denkt dat Okkie en Onna helemaal op hun plek zijn bij u?

About Okkie & Onna

What life with Okkie & Onna looks like

Okkie & Onna is a large puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Zeist in AA Austerlitz.

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.
