Pien

Female · Kitten · 3 months

Foster Family Character Description: Pien is an incredibly sweet kitten, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have her own opinion! She fully enjoys all the attention and cuddles, but she does choose her moments for them. Pien only comes onto your lap when she herself feels like it. However, she lets herself be picked up without any problem and can then calmly stay in your arms. Although she likes to sleep cozily with her littermates, she also sometimes deliberately chooses a private beauty nap. For Pien, we are looking for a loving household where someone is regularly at home and where her headstrong character is truly embraced. She can possibly be placed with children aged 6 and up. A social/playful companion animal will be a welcome addition for her, but it is not a requirement. In time, Pien wants to go outside to explore the safe, green surroundings. Go back

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Pien is een ontzettend lief kitten, maar dat betekent niet dat ze geen eigen mening heeft! Ze geniet volop van alle aandacht en knuffels, maar kiest wel haar momenten daarvoor. Pien komt alleen op schoot wanneer ze daar zelf zin in heeft. Ze laat zich echter prima oppakken en kan dan ook rustig in je armen blijven liggen. Ondanks dat ze graag knus met haar nestgenoten slaapt, kiest ze af en toe ook bewust voor een privé schoonheidsslaapje. Wij zoeken voor Pien een liefdevol huishouden waar regelmatig iemand thuis is en haar eigenzinnige karakter juist omarmt wordt. Ze kan eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 6 jaar geplaatst worden. Een sociale/speelse soortgenoot zal ze gezellig vinden, maar is geen vereiste. Pien wil op den duur naar buiten om de veilige, groene omgeving te ontdekken. Ga terug

About Pien

What life with Pien looks like

Pien is a kitten cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Pien, answered.

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