Sisi

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

I was not doing well upon entering the shelter. After a significant double surgery and a long recovery process, I can tell that I am now completely healthy and finally allowed to look for my own cozy new home. I am a very sociable lady, although I do have a strong opinion towards my fellow felines. I tolerate them, but they need to give me some space. I am a real companion animal and can thoroughly enjoy attention and cuddles. If I don't get them, I'll just come and get them. I'm looking for a household where coziness is the main focus. Many hands that can cuddle and places to curl up. After getting used to the environment, I'd like to occasionally go outside for a fresh breeze (preferably in an enclosed garden). If you're interested in this gem, please send us an email with information about your experience with cats, your living situation, and what you expect from your new housemate. Don't forget to include your phone number.

Bij binnenkomst in het asiel was ik er op zijn zachtst gezegd niet goed aan toe. Na een flinke dubbele operatie en een lang nazorg traject kan ik vertellen dat ik nu hartstikke gezond ben en eindelijk op zoek mag naar mijn eigen fijne nieuwe thuis. Ik ben een ontzettend gezellige dame, wel al met een uitgesproken mening richting mijn soortgenoten. Ik tolereer ze, maar ze moeten mij wel een beetje de ruimte geven. Ik ben een echt gezelschapsdier en kan ontzettend genieten van aandacht en knuffels. Krijg ik ze niet, dan kom ik ze gewoon halen. Ik zoek dus een huishouden waar gezelligheid de boventoon voert. vele handen die kunnen knuffelen en schoten om op te liggen. Na gewenning ga ik graag af en toe naar buiten voor een frisse neus (in het liefst een afgesloten tuin) 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 Sisi

What life with Sisi looks like

Sisi is a young 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sisi, answered.

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