How do I contact the shelter about Sakura?

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

Can I adopt Sakura if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierenasiel Crailo 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 Sakura 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 Sakura 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 Dierenasiel Crailo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sakura 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.

Adopt Sakura

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

In a new home, I'll need some time to adjust, and I'm not the type to be the first one out the door either, but if we build a bond, I can be an incredibly cuddly cat and sit on your lap for hours. I was away for a bit and am now back, and I immediately plopped back on my regular caregiver's lap. So, once a bond is built, it's not easily broken. I'm looking for a quiet home where, after settling in, I can also occasionally enjoy a fresh air break in the garden. Here at our shelter, I also like to go outside for that fresh air. Because I have a somewhat insecure nature, I'm seeking a home without children or other pets. If you're interested in this kitty, we'd appreciate a mail with information on your cat experience, your living situation, and your expectations of your new housemate. Please also include your phone number in your email to Sakura. This animal is not suitable for homes with children.

In een nieuw huis zal ik even moeten wennen en ik ben ook gewoon niet het type van haantje de voorste, maar als ik een band met je heb dan ben ik een ontzettend gezellige knuffelpoes en kan dan uren op schoot zitten. Ik was even weggeweest en nu weer terug en plofte direct weer op schoot bij mijn vaste verzorger. Als ik dus een band heb opgebouwd dan is die ook niet zomaar weg. Ik zoek een rustig huis waar ik na gewenning ook af en toe in de tuin een frisse neus kan halen. Hier in het asiel ga ik namelijk ook graag even naar buiten voor die frisse neus. Omdat ik een wat onzekere inborst heb zoek ik een huis zonder kinderen of andere dieren. Heeft u interesse in deze kanjer dan ontvangen we graag een mail met informatie over onder andere uw ervaring met katten, uw woon en leefsituatie en wat uw verwachting is van uw nieuwe huisgenoot. U kunt ons mailen naar en vermeld daar ook graag uw telefoonnummer bij.

About Sakura

What life with Sakura looks like

Sakura is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierenasiel Crailo in Hilversum.

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.
