Ted

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 2 months

Ted is an energetic kitten who likely sees the entire house as a racetrack. This social butterfly is friendly to his own kind and to everyone he meets. Despite his tough exterior, Ted has a sensitive side and can be startled by unexpected noises. He quickly learns to let it go. Ted is also very caring towards his little brother. He washes him carefully with a gentle arm around him. Ted is now ready for a new start and needs a playmate. We are looking for a cozy household with children of all ages. He will be placed with a young, playful companion. Eventually, Ted will want to go outside to explore the peaceful, green surroundings.

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Ted is een ondernemend, energiek kitten dat vermoedelijk het hele huis als racecircuit ziet. Deze allemansvriend is sociaal naar zijn soortgenoten en eigenlijk iedereen die hij ontmoet. Ondanks zijn stoere uitstraling, heeft Ted ook een gevoelige kant en kan hij van onverwachte geluiden schrikken. Inmiddels weet hij dit goed (en snel) los te laten. Ted is daarnaast heel zorgzaam naar zijn kleine broer. Met een arm om hem heen, wast hij zijn broertje zorgvuldig. Inmiddels is Ted echter klaar voor een nieuwe start en heeft behoefte aan een speelmaatje. We zoeken voor Ted een gezellig huishouden waar eventueel al kinderen aanwezig zijn (van alle leeftijden). Hij wordt bij een jonge, speelse soortgenoot geplaatst. Op den duur zal Ted naar buiten willen om de rustige, groene omgeving te ontdekken. Ga terug

About Ted

What life with Ted looks like

Ted is a small 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 Ted, answered.

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