Pien

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Foster Family Character Description: Pien is an extremely gentle and affectionate kitten. She may be small in size, but she has a big heart! Pien is happiest when she receives attention, love, and companionship. She prefers to lie close to you for a cuddle session. We expect that she will love being around you a lot and following you through the house. Are you looking for a sweet buddy who likes to curl up next to you? Then you've come to the right address with Pien! We are looking for a loving household for Pien where someone is often present. She can be placed with children of all ages. A fellow animal in the home will be fine with her, but this is not a requirement. Pien can be kept as an indoor cat, provided there is enough stimulation indoors. If the opportunity exists and the surroundings are safe/quiet, Pien could of course also go outside. Go back

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Pien is een ontzettend zachtaardig en aanhankelijk kitten. Ze is misschien klein van formaat, maar haar hart is groot! Aandacht, liefde en gezelligheid wordt Pien helemaal gelukkig van. Bij voorkeur komt ze dicht bij je liggen voor een knuffelsessie. We verwachten dat ze het heerlijk vindt om veel bij je in de buurt te zijn en door het huis te volgen. Zoek jij een lief maatje dat graag bij je komt liggen? Dan ben je bij Pien op het juiste adres! Wij zoeken voor Pien een liefdevol huishouden waar vaak iemand aanwezig is. Ze kan bij kinderen van alle leeftijden geplaatst worden. Een soortgenoot in huis zal ze leuk vinden, maar is geen vereiste. Pien kan als binnenkat gehouden worden, mits er voldoende uitdaging binnenshuis aanwezig is. Mocht de mogelijkheid er zijn en de omgeving veilig/rustig zijn, zou Pien uiteraard ook naar buiten kunnen. Ga terug

About Pien

What life with Pien looks like

Pien is a large kitten european shorthair 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.
