Sam

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Sam (nr. 24368) is een vriendelijke poes. Ze is niet eenkennig en komt gelijk kennis maken. Ze is heel graag bij je in de buurt. Omdat ze steeds heel vlakbij je blijft was ze moeilijk op de foto te krijgen. Sam is heel knuffelig naar mensen, maar andere katten vind ze niet leuk. Ze zal waarschijnlijk het beste op haar plek zijn in een huis zonder andere katten. Sam is erg fel met eten, waarschijnlijk wordt dit minder als ze niet meer met andere katten samen is. Vanwege dit gedrag kan ze beter niet bij kinderen geplaatst worden. Zodra het eten weer op is, wordt ze weer heel knuffelig.

About Sam

What life with Sam looks like

Sam is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dierentehuis 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 Sam, answered.

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