Sissi

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Character description of foster family: Sissi is a sweet, contented lady with a sociable (playful) personality. Sissi is very people-oriented and eagerly seeks out attention from you, as all forms of attention are very much appreciated. Once she feels comfortable, she enjoys being held. When Sissi does not receive the attention she needs at that moment, she will certainly make her needs known by loudly and persistently meowing. Sissi came to the foster family with her kittens. These have been lovingly and attentively cared for. Both Sissi and her kittens are now ready for a fresh start! We are looking for a cozy household for Sissi where someone is often at home. We may place her with children aged 6 years and older. It is unknown how she will react to her adult counterparts. After a trial period, Sissi will go outside to explore the green, peaceful surroundings.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Sissi is een lieve, tevreden dame met een gezellig (speels) karakter. Sissi is erg mensgericht en zoekt je dan ook graag op, want alle vormen van aandacht zijn zeer gewenst. Eenmaal vertrouwd, vindt ze het heerlijk om in de armen gedragen te worden. Wanneer Sissi niet de aandacht krijgt die ze op dat moment nodig heeft, zal ze zeker van zich laten horen door hard en lang te miauwen. Sissi is met haar kittens bij het gastgezin gekomen. Deze zijn met liefde en aandacht verzorgd. Zowel Sissi als haar kittens zijn nu klaar voor een frisse start! We zoeken voor Sissi een gezellig huishouden waar vaak iemand thuis is. We plaatsen haar eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 6 jaar oud. Het is onbekend hoe ze op haar volwassen soortgenoten reageert. Na een wenperiode wil Sissi naar buiten om de groene, rustige omgeving te verkennen. Ga terug

About Sissi

What life with Sissi looks like

Sissi is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem 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 Sissi, answered.

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