Adopt Silke

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Silke is a declawed cat around 3 years old. This lovely lady came to us because her previous owner had too many cats at home and could no longer take proper care of them. Silke had a nest of kittens and she and her entire family went to a foster family where she could raise them calmly. Now that all the kittens have been placed, it's time for Silke to find her golden retirement. She is a sweet, calm, and gentle cat who looks at the cat in the tree at first. Strangers also find her exciting, and she needs some time to adjust. She is very social with other cats and would enjoy having a companion to live with. A cat that matches her personality and is not too dominant or demanding would be ideal. Small children are too boisterous for her, but older ones could be fine. She is not used to going outside, so she could be placed as an indoor cat.

Silke is een gesterlisserde poes van rond de 3 jaar oud. Deze lieve dame is bij ons gekomen doordat haar vorige eigenaar teveel katten in huis had en er niet meer goed voor kon zorgen. Silke had een nestje met kittens en ze is met heel haar gezinnetje naar een gastgezin gegaan waar ze ze rustig kon grootbrengen. Inmiddels zijn alle kittens geplaatst en wordt het tijd voor Silke om naar haar gouden mandje te gaan. Ze is een lieve, rustige en zachtaardige poes die de kat uit de boom kijkt in het begin. Vreemde mensen vind ze ook spannend en ze heeft even de tijd nodig om te wennen. Ze is heel sociaal met andere katten en het zou fijn zijn als ze een maatje heeft om mee samen te wonen. Een kat die matcht met haar karakter en niet te overheersend of druk is. Kleine kinderen zijn te druk voor haar maar oudere kan wel. Naar buiten gaan is ze niet gewend, ze kan goed als binnenkat geplaatst worden.

About Silke

What life with Silke looks like

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

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Silke 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 Silke, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Silke?
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 Silke on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Silke 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 Silke 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 Silke 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 Silke 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.
