Pijk

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Pijk is a sweet, gentle, calm tomcat who loves cuddling. He is a bit of a scaredy-cat and needs some time to warm up, but once he's comfortable, Pijk makes a very friendly companion. Pijk is not used to going outside, but he would love a balcony. He gets along well with older children and can adjust to another cat in the house if they have similar personalities. He had negative experiences with dogs with his previous owner, so we're looking for a home without dogs. Are you looking for a fun and affectionate companion and don't mind grooming his fur? Pijk might be the perfect fit for you.

NL·Show original

Pijk is een lieve, zachtaardige, rustige kater die dol is op kroelen. Hij is wel een beetje een held op sokken en heeft in het begin even de tijd nodig om rustig te wennen, eenmaal het ijs gebroken heb je aan Pijk een erg gezellig maatje. Pijk is niet gewend om naar buiten toe te gaan, een balkon zal hij wel zeer op prijs stellen. Hij kan goed met wat oudere kinderen overweg en kan ook wennen aan een andere kat in huis mits deze matcht met het karakter van Pijk. Met honden heeft hij bij zijn laatste eigenaar negatieve ervaringen opgedaan, liever zoeken we voor hem een huisje zonder honden. Zoek jij een leuk en lief maatje en vind je zijn vachtverzorging ook geen probleem? Dan past Pijk misschien wel helemaal bij jou.

About Pijk

What life with Pijk looks like

Pijk is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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 Pijk, answered.

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