Sjimmie

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 2 months

Character description for foster family: Sjimmie is a small boy with a loving and affectionate personality. He prefers to lie all day on your lap or next to you on the couch. Play is fun, but a cuddle session is even more fun. We are looking for a loving, cozy household where his people have plenty of time for him. Sjimmie can be placed with a young, social companion, but this is not a must. We eventually place Sjimmie with children aged 12 and older. In time, Sjimmie will want to go outside to explore the quiet, green surroundings.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Sjimmie is een kleine jongen met een lief en aanhankelijk karakter. Het liefst liegt hij de hele dag bij je op schoot of naast je op de bank. Spel is leuk, maar een knuffelsessie nóg leuker. We zoeken voor Sjimmie een liefdevol, gezellig huishouden waar zijn mensen veel tijd voor hem hebben. Sjimmie kan prima bij een jonge, sociale soortgenoot geplaatst worden, maar dit is geen must. We plaatsen Sjimmie eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 12 jaar oud. Op den duur zal Sjimmie naar buiten willen om de rustige, groene omgeving te ontdekken. Ga terug

About Sjimmie

What life with Sjimmie looks like

Sjimmie is a small puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇳🇱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 Sjimmie, answered.

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