How do I contact the shelter about Punt?

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

Can I adopt Punt if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis Zeist 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 Punt 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 Punt 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 Dierentehuis Zeist early rather than rehoming privately; they know Punt 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.

European Shorthair male Birthdate: 01-01-2014 Can with dogs: no Can with cats: no Can with small children: no Can with large children: yes, from 12 years old Can in an apartment: no Can in a garden: yes This sweet cat is named Punt. He came to us because he was no longer happy in his previous home. He lived there with another male cat and they didn't get along. When you visit Punt, he seems a bit shy, but as soon as you start petting him, his engine starts and he begins to purr. Punt is a very gentle and sweet cat. We are looking for a new home for him where he has the opportunity to go outside. Are you looking for a sweet cat? Then contact our shelter.

About Punt

What life with Punt looks like

Punt is a small senior european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Zeist in AA Austerlitz.

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.
