Poeski

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 15 years

I found sitting still very difficult during the photoshoot, so many of the pictures ended up blurry—but I’m actually much more charming in real life. I’m getting on in years and, as a result, I have a few physical ailments. A little wart here, an overactive thyroid there... That’s why I’ve been on lifelong medication (for my heart and thyroid), and the vet says I probably don’t have much time left. But I’m determined to prove them wrong! Who’s going to help me grow older?

Stilzitten vond ik erg lastig tijdens de shoot, dus veel foto's waren bewogen, maar ik ben ook veel leuker in het echt. Ik ben op leeftijd en heb daarom wat lichamelijke kwaaltjes. Een wratje hier, te snel werkende schildklier daar.. Daarom heb ik levenslang medicatie nodig (voor mijn hart en schildklier) en zegt de dierenarts dat ik niet nog heel lang mee ga. Maar ik ga het tegendeel bewijzen! Wie helpt mij ouder worden?

About Poeski

What life with Poeski looks like

Poeski is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇳🇱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 Poeski, answered.

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