Pukky

European Shorthair · Male · Senior · 12 years

Pukky sounds cute but I could play the villain in the new James Bond film, at least that's what my caregivers say. My owner is no longer here and that's why I am temporarily staying at DOA until someone chooses me. I have a small temper occasionally (when I have to go to the vet or in a travel basket) but otherwise I am very content. I love food, petting and I still play occasionally. I find children too noisy, but adults are usually fun. Who will come and meet me?

NL·Show original

Pukky klinkt schattig maar ik zou zo de slechterik in de nieuwe James Bond film kunnen spelen, althans dat zeggen mijn verzorgers. Mijn baasje is er niet meer en daarom verblijf ik tijdelijk bij DOA totdat iemand mij uitkiest. Ik heb heel af en toe (als ik naar de dierenarts of in een reismandje moet) een klein woedeaanvalletje, maar verder ben ik heel tevreden. Ik houd van eten, aaien en speel heel af en toe nog. Kinderen vind ik veel te druk, maar volwassenen zijn meestal wel leuk. Wie komt mij ontmoeten?

About Pukky

What life with Pukky looks like

Pukky is a small 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 Pukky, answered.

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