Ringo

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Ringo is a tomcat about 5 years old. He was brought to us as a stray, and we know nothing about his past. At first, he had to get used to us, he is certainly not a very big hero. Once he realized that we have the best intentions for him, he became more and more relaxed. Now Ringo is a nice cat who enjoys the cuddling sessions he gets. He can spin and roll very well on the floor. It's super fun to see him enjoying himself. Ringo is not very active and we think he will feel best in a quiet household.

NL·Show original

Ringo is een kater van een jaar of 5 oud. Hij is als vondeling bij ons gebracht, over zijn verleden weten wij niets. Moest in het begin wel even wennen aan ons, een hele grote held is Ringo niet. Toen hij eenmaal door had dat wij het beste met hem voor hebben is, kwam hij steeds meer los. Inmiddels is Ringo een gezellige kat die geniet van de knuffelsessies die hij krijgt. Kan dan heel goed spinnen en rollen over de grond. Super leuk om hem zo te zien genieten. Heel druk is Ringo niet en wij denken dat hij zich het best zal voelen in een rustig huishouden.

About Ringo

What life with Ringo looks like

Ringo is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 Ringo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ringo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ringo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ringo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden 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 Ringo 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 Ringo 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 Stevenshage Leiden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ringo 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.
