Sammy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Sammy is a neutered tomcat around 3 years old. This cat came in as a stray and the owner has never shown up. He needed a lot of time to adjust and to regain trust in people, which is now improving step by step and he is seeking more contact. We think he will blossom into a nice affectionate cat for people who give him time to adjust. We are looking for Sammy a quiet home without children. He is social towards other cats but due to his illness, he cannot easily live together unless the other cat is also FIV positive, then it's no problem at all. He cannot go outside, also in connection with his illness which can be transmitted through fights with other cats. However, he would really enjoy being able to go outside on a balcony or in an enclosed garden. Sammy tested positive for FIV (feline AIDS). This is a virus that attacks and weakens the cat's immune system, making the cat more susceptible to other infections and diseases. Unfortunately, this disease cannot be cured but cats with this disease can still have a nice and good life. More information about this is available from our staff.

Sammy is een kater gecastreerd van rond de 3 jaar oud. Deze kat is binnengekomen als zwerver en zijn eigenaar heeft zich nooit gemeld. Hij had veel tijd nodig om te wennen en het vertrouwen van mensen weer terug te krijgen, dit gaat nu steeds stapje voor stapje beter en hij zoekt steeds meer toenadering. We denken dat hij uit gaat bloeien tot een leuke kroelkat bij mensen die hem de tijd geven om te wennen. We zoeken voor Sammy een rustig huisje zonder kinderen. Hij is sociaal naar andere katten toe maar vanwege zijn ziekte kan hij niet makkelijk samen wonen tenzij de andere kat ook FIV positief is, dan is het geen enkel probleem. Naar buiten gaan kan hij niet, dit ook in verband met zijn ziekte die overdraagbaar kan zijn door vechtpartijen met andere katten. Wel zou hij het erg fijn vinden om op een balkon of in een afgesloten tuin toch lekker naar buiten te kunnen. Sammy is positief gestest op FIV (kattenaids). Dit is een virus dat het immuunsysteem van de kat aanvalt en verzwakt, waardoor de kat gevoeliger wordt voor andere infecties en ziektes. Deze ziekte is helaas niet te genezen maar ze kunnen met deze ziekte wel een fijn en goed leven hebben. Meer informatie hierover is te verkrijgen bij onze medewerkers.

About Sammy

What life with Sammy looks like

Sammy is a young adult mixed breed animal waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem in Netherlands.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Sammy far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇳🇱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 Sammy, answered.

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