Sun

European Shorthair Β· Female Β· Young Β· 1 year

🐾 Maak kennis met lieve Sun! Dit mooie meisje heet Sun en met haar 1 jaar is ze nog een jonge poes die het leven nog helemaal mag gaan ontdekken. β˜€οΈπŸ’› Sun is in het begin een beetje onzeker en vindt nieuwe mensen en situaties best spannend. Maar geef je haar de tijd om je rustig te leren kennen, dan komt er een ontzettend lieve en aanhankelijke poes tevoorschijn. πŸ₯° Sun heeft als zwervertje op straat geleefd. Misschien is dat ook wel de reden dat ze graag zelf bepaalt wanneer ze ergens klaar voor is. We verwachten dan ook dat ze in de toekomst graag weer lekker naar buiten wil om op ontdekkingstocht te gaan. 🌿🐾 Voor Sun zoeken we een rustig en geduldig baasje dat haar de tijd geeft om vertrouwen op te bouwen. Wie weet groeit ze dan uit tot een heerlijk maatje dat helemaal voor jou gaat! ❀️ Wie geeft deze lieve jonge dame de kans op een warm, veilig en fijn thuis? 🏑🐱

About Sun

What life with Sun looks like

Sun is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden in LC Leerdam.

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 Sun, answered.

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