Sadie

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Sadie is een rustige en ontzettend lieve dame die volop geniet van alle aandacht. Knuffelmomenten gaan dan ook gepaard met luid en vrolijk gespin. Zolang ze haar mensen om haar heen heeft, is deze aanhankelijke dame helemaal in haar element. Sadie lijkt wat minder goed te zien. Toch redt ze zich in het dagelijks leven goed. Doordat ze minder snel reageert op haar omgeving, kan het soms lijken alsof ze je niet opmerkt. Vaak reageert ze pas wanneer je dichtbij komt, haar aanspreekt of aanraakt. Voor Sadie is het daarom van belang dat je haar kalm benadert, bij voorkeur in haar gezichtsveld, en geen onverwachte bewegingen maakt. Een rustige, voorspelbare omgeving zal Sadie helpen bij haar zelfvertrouwen. Wij zoeken voor Sadie een stabiel en veilig huishouden waar vaak iemand thuis is. Ze kan eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 12 jaar oud geplaatst worden. Hoe ze met andere huisdieren omgaat is tot op heden onbekend. In verband met haar slechte zicht mag ze niet vrij naar buiten. Daarom plaatsen wij Sadie als binnenkat, mits de woonruimte voldoende ruimte en uitdaging biedt. Een afgesloten tuin of balkon zou ze erg prettig vinden maar is geen vereiste. Ga terug

About Sadie

What life with Sadie looks like

Sadie is a young 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 Sadie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sadie?
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 Sadie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sadie 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sadie 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 Sadie 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 Sadie 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.
