Susan

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Character description for foster family: Susan is an adventurous, energetic, and enterprising kitten. Where this girl once found the world around her quite big and exciting at the beginning, nothing is too exciting for her now! Susan is brimming with curiosity and enjoys a contented beauty nap after her explorations. New people are still a bit exciting, but soon Susan figures out that human attention is quite pleasant. We are looking for a cozy household for Susan where someone is usually at home. Susan is preferably placed with a young, playful sibling. It is expected that Susan can be placed with children aged 6 and older in due time. Eventually, Susan will want to go outside to discover the quiet, green surroundings and give her energy a place to go.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Susan is een avontuurlijk, energiek en ondernemend kitten. Waar deze meid in het begin de wereld om haar heen behoorlijk groot en spannend vond, is haar inmiddels niks meer te gek! Susan zit bordenvol nieuwsgierigheid en geniet na haar ontdekkingstochten van een tevreden schoonheidsslaapje. Nieuwe mensen zijn nog wat spannend, maar al gauw heeft Susan door dat menselijke aandacht wel heel prettig is. We zoeken voor Susan een gezellig huishouden waar regelmatig iemand thuis is. Susan wordt bij voorkeur bij een jonge, speelse soortgenoot geplaatst. Naar verwachting kan Susan prima bij kinderen vanaf 6 jaar oud geplaatst worden. Op den duur zal Susan naar buiten willen om de rustige, groene omgeving te ontdekken en haar energie een plek te geven. Ga terug

About Susan

What life with Susan looks like

Susan is a large 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 Susan, answered.

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