Sabrina

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Sabrina is a gentle lady with a calm nature. Sabrina finds new situations exciting at first. Once she trusts her surroundings, a real cuddly one emerges. She is more than happy to seek you out for some attention. If she's had enough of it? Then she will take a nap in a quiet spot in the house. Sabrina can still be startled by unexpected noises or movements. Fortunately, she recovers quickly! When she feels at ease, she lets her content, affectionate nature fully show and will flourish into a fine housemate. We are looking for a quiet and predictable household (without children) for Sabrina. We will place her with a social, stable companion if possible. After an acclimation period, Sabrina wants to go outside to explore the safe, green environment.

NL·Show original

Sabrina is een zachtaardige dame met een rustig karakter. Nieuwe situaties vindt Sabrina in het begin spannend. Eenmaal wanneer ze haar omgeving vertrouwt, komt er een heuse knuffelkont tevoorschijn. Ze zoekt je dan maar al te graag op voor wat aandacht. Heeft ze er weer genoeg van? Dan gaat ze op een rustige plek in huis een dutje doen. Bij onverwachte geluiden of bewegingen kan Sabrina nog wel eens schrikken. Hiervan herstelt ze gelukkig snel! Wanneer ze zich op haar gemak voelt, laat ze haar tevreden, aanhankelijke aard volledig zien en zal ze opbloeien tot een fijne huisgenoot. Voor Sabrina zijn we op zoek naar een rustig en voorspelbaar huishouden (zonder kinderen). We plaatsen haar eventueel bij een sociale, stabiele soortgenoot. Na een wenperiode wil Sabrina naar buiten om de veilige, groene omgeving te verkennen. Ga terug

About Sabrina

What life with Sabrina looks like

Sabrina is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

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 Sabrina, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sabrina?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis Arnhem handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sabrina on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sabrina if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis Arnhem 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sabrina 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 Sabrina 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 Arnhem early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sabrina 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.
