Ossya

Mixed Breed · Female

Ossya is a plump lady, friendly but also a bit on her guard. And that's not abnormal given the situation. She loves attention and was quite comfortable with us quickly. We don't know much about her history and are still looking for her birth year. But she is a young cat of a few years.

NL·Show original

Ossya is een mollige dame, gezellig maar ook een beetje op haar hoede. En dat is niet abnormaal gezien de situatie. Ze houdt van aandacht en was vrij snel op haar gemak bij ons. We weten niet veel van haar geschiedenis en zoeken nog naar haar geboorte jaar. Maar ze is een jonge kat van een aantal jaren.

About Ossya

What life with Ossya looks like

Ossya is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at De Poezenboot in Amsterdam.

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 Ossya, answered.

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