Polleke

European Shorthair · Female

I am the princess of princesses, not because of a pea under my mattress, but because of my eating behavior. Expensive kibble, no thanks, quality cans, he bah! I only eat canned food with rabbit right now. Well that's convenient in itself because I have sensitive skin, and these cans are very good for that. I'm looking for someone who really loves cuddling and therefore doesn't mind providing my princess behavior. Furthermore, I want a lot of cuddling, chatting and playing. Who will be my servant!?

Ik ben de prinses der prinsessen, niet door een erwt onder mijn matras, maar door mijn eetgedrag. Dure brokjes, nee bedankt, kwalitatieve blikjes, he bah! Ik eet op dit moment alleen blikjes met konijn. Nou komt dat opzich wel goed uit want ik heb een gevoelige huid, en deze blikjes zijn daar heel goed voor. Ik zoek iemand die heel erg van knuffelen houdt en het dus niet erg vindt om in mijn prinsessengedrag te voorzien. Verder wil ik heel veel knuffelen, kletsen en spelen. Wie wordt mijn lakei!?

About Polleke

What life with Polleke looks like

Polleke is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Polleke, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Polleke?
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 Polleke on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Polleke 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 Polleke 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 Polleke 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 Polleke 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.
