Sjonnie

Mixed Breed Β· Male Β· Young Β· 2 years

This is Sjonnie! Background: Sjonnie unfortunately did not have an easy start. He lived on the streets and lost his brothers and sisters to traffic. Eventually, he ended up at the vet due to a wound in his mouth, caused by a piece of plant material. An abscess also affected several teeth. In the meantime, 3 teeth have been removed. The 2-year-old Sjonnie is a cat who likes to take life easy. Give him a soft couch, a nice spot by the window and a pat on the head from time to time, and he is very satisfied. Especially when he lies down to relax, you can come to cuddle. In fact, that is very much appreciated. Likes people: He is a sweet, social tomcat who immediately decides that people are quite nice. He also gets along well with other cats. He likes friendly company, but dominant types? Sjonnie politely declines. Drama is after all much too exhausting when you can just sleep. A bit lazy: His favorite activities are lying on the couch next to his people, collapsing somewhere on a piece of furniture or scratching post and looking out the window extensively. Neighborhood watch Sjonnie doesn't miss anything. His conditions: He likes to cuddle, but a bit on his own terms. Talk to him calmly and let him come to you, then you will soon have a satisfied Sjonnie next to you. Chasing him or trying to catch him is still (still) exciting. His own trusted people can pick him up. He is not a real lap cat at the moment. But in a quiet house with fewer animals, it could be that he discovers that a human lap is actually just a heated cat bed. Despite everything, Sjonnie is mainly relaxed, social, gentle and loves attention. A cat who doesn't need much to be happy: a safe home, nice people, friendly cat company and of course a comfortable place to do nothing important. Sjonnie arrives in the Netherlands on September 7. He is vaccinated, chipped and neutered. He is an indoor cat, although a cat-proof garden or balcony screened with a cat net is of course a bonus for him. Update September 2026: Sjonnie is FIV-positive, established with a PCR test.

Dit is Sjonnie! Achtergrond: Sjonnie heeft helaas geen makkelijke start gehad. Hij leefde op straat en verloor zijn broertjes en zusjes door het verkeer. Uiteindelijk kwam hij bij de dierenarts terecht vanwege een wond in zijn bek, veroorzaakt door een stukje plantmateriaal. Door een abces waren ook enkele tanden aangetast. Inmiddels zijn er 3 tanden verwijderd. De tweejarige Sjonnie is zo’n kat die het leven graag op standje lekker rustig aan zet. Geef hem een zachte bank, een fijn plekje bij het raam en af en toe een aai over zijn bol, en meneer is dik tevreden. Vooral wanneer hij languit ligt te luieren, mag je gerust even komen kroelen. Sterker nog: dat wordt zeer gewaardeerd. Gek op mensen: Hij is een lieve, sociale kater die eigenlijk meteen besluit dat mensen best leuk zijn. Ook met andere katten kan hij goed overweg. Hij houdt van vriendelijk gezelschap, maar dominante types? Daar bedankt Sjonnie beleefd voor. Drama is tenslotte veel te vermoeiend als je ook gewoon kunt slapen. Beetje lui: Zijn favoriete bezigheden zijn op de bank naast zijn mensen liggen, ergens op een meubel of krabpaal neerploffen en uitgebreid uit het raam kijken. Buurtwacht Sjonnie mist niets. Zijn voorwaarden: Knuffelen doet hij graag, maar wel een beetje op zijn eigen voorwaarden. Praat rustig tegen hem en laat hem zelf naar je toe komen, dan heb je al snel een tevreden Sjonnie naast je. Achter hem aan lopen of hem proberen te vangen vindt hij (nog) spannend. Zijn eigen vertrouwde mensen kunnen hem wel optillen. Een echte schootkat is hij op dit moment nog niet. Maar in een rustig huis met minder dieren zou het zomaar kunnen dat hij ontdekt dat een menselijke schoot eigenlijk gewoon een verwarmd kattenbed is. Ondanks alles is Sjonnie vooral relaxed, sociaal, zachtaardig en dol op aandacht. Een kat die niet veel nodig heeft om gelukkig te zijn: een veilig thuis, lieve mensen, vriendelijk kattengezelschap en natuurlijk een comfortabele plek om héél belangrijk niets te doen. Hij is gevaccineerd, gechipt en gecastreerd. Hij is een binnenkat, alhoewel een catproof tuin of balkon afgeschermd met een kattennet natuurlijk een bonus zijn voor hem. Update September 2026: Sjonnie is FIV-positief, vastgesteld met een PCR-test.

About Sjonnie

What life with Sjonnie looks like

Sjonnie is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Mirtos Animal Project 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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡³πŸ‡±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 Sjonnie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sjonnie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Mirtos Animal Project handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sjonnie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sjonnie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Mirtos Animal Project 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sjonnie 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Sjonnie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Mirtos Animal Project early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sjonnie 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 β€” 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.
