How do I contact the shelter about Porto?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierenasiel Crailo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Porto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Porto if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel Crailo 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 Porto 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 Porto 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 Dierenasiel Crailo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Porto 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.

Adopt Porto

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Stout in stature, that is a fact, although I am already doing something about losing a bit of weight and that is going quite well. In my new home, this of course must be carried through. I am a friendly, chatty fellow. If you speak nicely to me, I will lie on my back to roll around and will be eager to be petted. I am truly a social animal and accustomed to a spacious apartment with a large balcony and indoor garden. Here at the animal shelter, I like to go outside, so a house with a well-fenced garden would be my preference. This will certainly benefit my stature with more movement. A quiet household without children would be preferable for me. I am, after all, a bit insecure and too much hustle and bustle around me does not make me more secure. If you are interested in this cantankerous fellow, we would appreciate a mail with information on, among other things, your experience with cats, your living and life situation, and what your expectations are of your new housemate. You can email us at and please also include your phone number in the email. This animal is not suitable for homes with children.

Stevig in postuur dat is een feit, al ben ik daar al wel wat aan het doen om wat af te vallen en dat gaat al best wel goed. In mijn nieuwe huis moet dit uiteraard wel goed doorgezet worden. Ik ben een lieve gezellig kletsende kerel. Als je lief tegen mij gaat praten dan lig ik al vrij snel op mijn rug te rollenbollen en wordt dan graag aangehaald. Ik ben echt een gezelligheidsdier en gewend aan een ruim appartement met ruim balkon en binnentuin. Hier op het asiel ga ik graag naar buiten dus een huis met een goed afgezette tuin zou wel mijn voorkeur genieten. Zeker zal dit mijn postuur ook ten goede komen met wat meer beweging. Een rustig huishouden zonder kinderen geeft mij zeker de voorkeur. Ik ben namelijk wel een tikkeltje onzeker en van teveel drukte om mij heen wordt ik niet zekerder. Heeft u interesse in deze kanjer dan ontvangen we graag een mail met informatie over onder andere uw ervaring met katten, uw woon en leefsituatie en wat uw verwachting is van uw nieuwe huisgenoot. U kunt ons mailen naar en vermeld daar ook graag uw telefoonnummer bij.

About Porto

What life with Porto looks like

Porto is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Crailo in Hilversum.

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.
