Takuma & Joya

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 2 months

Takuma (male) and Joya (female) are a playful and affectionate pair. They enthusiastically explore the house together. Both enjoy a good nap after exertion. Joya is the more adventurous of the two, seeking out cuddles but not always enjoying being picked up (although this is improving). Takuma is a calm boy who thoroughly enjoys his lazy lifestyle. He appreciates a gentle scratch under his chin during his beauty sleep, but doesn't often seek attention. We are looking for a home where there is someone present most of the time. The pair should be suitable for children aged 6 and above. Takuma and Joya need a new home where they can eventually discover the green, peaceful surroundings.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Takuma (m) en Joya (v) zijn een gezellig en speels duo. Vol enthousiasme spelen ze door het huis. Beiden kunnen na inspanning heerlijk liggen slapen. Joya is de avontuurlijke, ondernemende van het koppel en zoekt je graag op voor een knuffelmoment. Oppakken vindt ze echter minder gezellig (al gaat dit steeds beter). Takuma is een rustige jongen die volop geniet van het luizenleven. Tijdens zijn schoonheidsslaapje kan hij een kriebel onder zijn kin erg waarderen, maar hij zoekt je niet snel op voor aandacht. We zoeken voor Takuma en Joya een gezellig huishouden waar vaak iemand thuis is. Naar verwachting kan het koppel prima geplaatst worden bij kinderen vanaf 6 jaar oud. Takuma en Joya zoeken een nieuw thuis waar ze de mogelijkheid hebben om op den duur de groene, rustige omgeving te ontdekken. Ga terug

About Takuma & Joya

What life with Takuma & Joya looks like

Takuma & Joya is a 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 Takuma & Joya, answered.

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