How do I contact the shelter about Skittles?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis Zeist handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Skittles on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Skittles if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis Zeist 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 Skittles 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 Skittles 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 Zeist early rather than rehoming privately; they know Skittles 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.

Skittles

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 9 years

Skittles is a female European Shorthair cat. She was brought to our shelter because her previous owner could no longer care for her. We have come to know Skittles as a cheerful cat who loves catnip and playing. She is an adventurous cat who enjoys being outdoors. We are looking for a quiet household with enough time to give her attention until she can go outside. Older children with experience with cats are welcome to see if they click. Does Skittles appeal to you? Contact our shelter to make an appointment.

About Skittles

What life with Skittles looks like

Skittles is a small adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Zeist in AA Austerlitz.

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.
