Senior

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 9 years

Senior is een kater van bijna 18 jaar oud. Hij is bij ons gekomen nadat zijn baasje is overleden Ja hij is al op een flinke leeftijd, maar hij voelt zich nog goed en ook de dierenarts is tevreden. Senior is er helemaal klaar voor om nog flink te genieten van zijn oude dag in een nieuw thuis. Hij is ontzettend lief en komt maar wat graag knuffelen. Zit graag bij ons op de schoot en kan dit ook lang volhouden. Verder doet hij het rustig aan en vindt het niet meer nodig om in de gordijnen te hangen. Deze knul zoekt een gezellig huishouden met baasjes die hem nog een heerlijke tijd wil geven.

About Senior

What life with Senior looks like

Senior is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 Senior, answered.

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