Adopt Peppie

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Peppie is a 12-year-old tomcat. He came to us unfortunately after his owner passed away. This guy is just incredibly loving and likes to be around us. He enjoys cuddling together and often sits on your couch. He also comes up on your lap when he feels like it. He is used to going for a little walk outside and would appreciate this opportunity in his new home as well. He lived with another cat but found it not suitable for a repeat. He walks a bit wobbly. We have had X-rays taken for this, and it turns out he has arthritis, for which he gets pain relief.

Read original (nl)

Peppie is een kater van 12 jaar oud. Hij is bij ons gekomen nadat helaas zijn eigenaar is overleden. Deze knul is gewoon ontzettend lief en graag bij ons in de buurt. Hij geniet ervan om samen te kroelen en zit regelmatig bij je op de bank. Komt ook op schoot als het hem uitkomt. Hij is gewend om buiten nog een blokje om te gaan en zou het fijn vinden deze mogelijkheid in zijn nieuwe huis weer te hebben. Hij heeft samengewoond met een andere kat, maar vond dit niet voor herhaling vatbaar. Hij loopt wat waggelend. Wij hebben hiervoor röntgenfoto's laten maken. Hieruit blijkt dat hij artrose heeft, waarvoor hij pijnstilling krijgt.

About Peppie

What life with Peppie looks like

Peppie is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 Peppie, answered.

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