Okki

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Okki came to us as a thin and hungry stray, so we don't know much about her past. Okki has arrived and our vet has declared her completely healthy except for a heart murmur. A heart murmur is common in cats and they can usually live a long life with it. Okki doesn't care, she just wants human attention and lots of cuddles. We've noticed she doesn't like other cats, so a home where all the attention goes to her is Okki's preference. www.dierenasielnoordwijk.org/interesseformulier-kat Ras: European Shorthair Color: red Age: 2 years Can live with cats: no Can live with children: from 6 years Can go outside: cat-safe screened garden or balcony Specials: has a heart murmur

Okki kwam als zwerver mager en hongerig bij ons binnen, van haar verleden weten wij dus niet. Inmiddels is Okki aangekomen en door onze dierenarts op een hartruisje na helemaal gezond verklaart. Een hartruis komt regelmatig voor bij katten, over het algemeen kunnen ze daar gewoon oud mee worden. Okki maakt het niet uit, zij wil alleen aandacht van mensen en vooral veel geknuffeld worden. Wij merken dat ze andere katten niet zo leuk vindt, een huis waar alle aandacht naar haar alleen gaat heeft dan ook de voorkeur van Okki. www.dierenasielnoordwijk.org/interesseformulier-kat Ras: Europese Korthaar Kleur: rood Leeftijd : 2 jaar Kan bij katten: nee Kan bij kinderen: vanaf 6 jaar Kan naar buiten: katveilige afgeschermde tuin of balkon Bijzonderheden: heeft een hartruisje

About Okki

What life with Okki looks like

Okki is a medium-sized young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Offem in Netherlands.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Okki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Okki?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel Offem handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Okki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Okki if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel Offem 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 Okki 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 Okki 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 Offem early rather than rehoming privately; they know Okki 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.
