How do I contact the shelter about Pukkie?

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 Pukkie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Pukkie 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 Pukkie 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 Pukkie 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 Pukkie 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.

Pukkie

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

This is Pukkie, a sweet 11-year-old lady. Just like her brother Rooie, Pukkie is a real cuddly cat. She enjoys attention and stroking enormously and loves to be together. She can possibly be placed with her brother, but this is not a must. At her age, Pukkie knows exactly what she wants: a nice and quiet home, a soft spot to sleep, a master who likes to spend time with her and of course lots of cuddles. Pukkie would not like to be alone for a long time. She is a cat who likes company and prefers to lie on the couch together. Just being together, taking a nap, a little stroking and enjoying each other's company - that sounds like the perfect life to Pukkie. She would also love to be able to get some fresh air from time to time. A safe balcony where she can lie in the sun would be very nice. Another safe possibility to go outside would be even better. Pukkie is now 11 years old and therefore deserves a place where she can enjoy the rest of her life. No hustle or complicated things, but peace, coziness, love and a master who values her presence. Who has a warm spot in the house and in the heart for this sweet senior? A place where Pukkie is not just a cat, but a real cozy housemate who can come and lie down with you and enjoy her well-deserved old age to the fullest?

Dit is Pukkie, een lieve dame van 11 jaar oud. Net als haar broer Rooie is Pukkie een echte knuffelkat. Ze geniet enorm van aandacht en kroelen en vindt het heerlijk om gezellig samen te zijn. Ze kan eventueel met haar broer samen geplaatst worden maar dit is geen must. Op haar leeftijd weet Pukkie inmiddels precies wat ze wil: een fijn en rustig thuis, een zacht plekje om te slapen, een baasje dat graag tijd met haar doorbrengt en natuurlijk héél veel knuffels. Pukkie zou het dan ook niet fijn vinden om veel alleen te zijn. Ze is een kat die graag gezelschap heeft en het liefst lekker samen op de bank ligt. Gewoon samen zijn, een beetje dutten, af en toe een kroeltje en genieten van elkaars gezelschap — voor Pukkie klinkt dat als het perfecte leven. Ook zou ze het heerlijk vinden om af en toe een frisse neus te kunnen halen. Een veilig balkon waar ze lekker in het zonnetje kan liggen zou al ontzettend fijn zijn. Een andere veilige mogelijkheid om naar buiten te kunnen zou natuurlijk helemaal mooi zijn. Pukkie is inmiddels 11 jaar en verdient juist daarom een plekje waar ze de rest van haar leven mag genieten. Geen drukte of ingewikkelde dingen, maar rust, gezelligheid, liefde en een baasje dat haar aanwezigheid waardeert. Wie heeft er een warm plekje in huis én in het hart voor deze lieve senior? Een plek waar Pukkie niet alleen een kat is, maar echt een gezellig huisgenootje dat lekker bij je mag komen liggen en volop mag genieten van haar welverdiende oude dag?

About Pukkie

What life with Pukkie looks like

Pukkie is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem in Netherlands.

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.
