Pieternel

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 1 month

Pieternel is a friendly, active and curious kitten. She likes to show that she's just a bit faster and more enthusiastic than her sisters. Her favorite toy? You! People are an amazing challenge for Pieternel... She loves to climb over you, chase after you or nibble on your clothes. However, if you come with a rattling ball, she will never refuse it. We're looking for a cozy family where someone is often at home for Pieternel. Pieternel will be placed with a littermate or a young, playful companion. She can live indoors as long as the living space offers enough room, challenge and playtime opportunities. Go back

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Pieternel is een gezellig, actief en nieuwsgierig kitten. Ze laat graag merken dat ze nét iets sneller en fanatieker is dan haar zusjes. Haar favoriete speelgoed? Jij! Mensen zijn voor Pieternel een geweldige uitdaging… Het liefst klimt ze over je heen, jaagt ze achter je aan of knabbelt ze aan je. Kom je echter met een rammelend balletje aan, zal ze deze nooit afslaan. Voor Pieternel zoeken we een gezellig gezin waar vaak iemand thuis is. Pieternel wordt samen met een nestgenoot of bij een jonge, speelse soortgenoot geplaatst. We plaatsen haar bij kinderen van alle leeftijden. Pieternel kan als binnenkat gehouden, mits de woonruimte voldoende ruimte, uitdaging en speelmogelijkheden biedt. Ga terug

About Pieternel

What life with Pieternel looks like

Pieternel is a puppy/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 Pieternel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pieternel?
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 Pieternel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pieternel 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Pieternel 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 Pieternel 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 Pieternel 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.
