Penelope

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Penelope (nr. 24377) is een lieve rustige dame. Ze is dol op knuffels en komt daar ook echt om vragen. Ze was in het begin schuw en had tijd nodig om te wennen, maar als ze je eenmaal kent is het een echte knuffel. Hier is ze vriendelijk naar de andere katten, zolang deze niet te druk zijn. Een drukke omgeving vindt ze niet fijn. Maar bij een rustig baasje zal ze zich zeker thuis voelen.

About Penelope

What life with Penelope looks like

Penelope is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierentehuis 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 Penelope, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Penelope?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Penelope on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Penelope if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Penelope 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 Penelope 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 early rather than rehoming privately; they know Penelope 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.
