Snoopy

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Snoopy is a 10-year-old female cat. She was brought to us after her owner had to be admitted to a nursing home. A blow for her, the peace and regularity in the house suited her well. Both knew what they had to each other and life together suited them well. Snoopy loves lounging and sleeps by the window, on the couch or cozily with her owner on bed. She doesn't come up onto your lap, but she will sit next to you on the couch. You can pet her sometimes, until she gets tired of it and gives you a swat. It is up to a new owner to get to know her well so that she knows her limits before she has to give out a swat. She loves peace around her and therefore leaves when there are visitors, as she doesn't like them. The outdoor life is also too exciting for her and she chooses to stay safely indoors. Once you have gotten to know and trust her, she will wait up for you when you come home and give you lots of head butts. Snoopy is really looking forward to feeling safe again with someone.

NL·Show original

Snoopy is een poes van 10 jaar oud. Ze is bij ons gebracht nadat haar baasje moest worden opgenomen in een verpleeghuis. Een klap voor haar, de rust en regelmatig in huis beviel haar wel. Beide wisten wat ze aan elkaar hadden en het leven samen beviel goed. Snoopy houdt van luieren en slaapt voor het raam, de bank of gezellig bij de baas op bed. Op schoot komen doet ze niet, wel naast je op de bank. Je mag haar dan soms aaien, tot ze het zat is en je een tik geeft. Zaak voor een nieuwe eigenaar om haar goed te leren kennen zodat ze haar grens zit voor ze een tik hoeft uit te delen. Ze houdt van rust om haar heen en is dan ook weg als er bezoek komt, daar heeft ze niets mee. Ook het buitenleven is te spannend en ze kiest er voor om veilig binnen te blijven. Als ze je eenmaal kent en vertrouwt zal ze je op staan wachten als je thuis komt en een hoop kopjes geven. Snoopy kijkt er erg naar uit zich weer helemaal veilig te voelen bij iemand.

About Snoopy

What life with Snoopy looks like

Snoopy is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 Snoopy, answered.

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