Tess

Female · Kitten · 3 months

Foster Family Character Description: Tess is a small lady with a great love for company. As soon as you sit down, she climbs onto your lap and snuggles up against you. She often starts lovingly grooming your face or hands, as if she wants to take care of you. Tess enjoys gentle strokes and quiet cuddle moments, and she likes it when you talk to her. One thing is certain: Tess will bring a warm addition to your life! For Tess, we are looking for a loving and lively household where someone is regularly present. She can possibly be placed with children aged 6 and up. A fellow cat in the home will be fine with her, but is not a requirement. Tess can be kept as an indoor cat, provided there is sufficient indoor stimulation. If the option is available and the surroundings are safe/quiet, Tess could of course also go outside. Go back

Karakterbeschrijving gastgezin: Tess is een kleine dame met een groot liefde voor gezelschap. Zodra je gaat zitten, kruipt ze bij je op schoot en nestelt ze zich tegen je aan. Vaak begint ze je gezicht of handen liefdevol te wassen, alsof ze je wil verzorgen. Tess geniet van zachte aaitjes of rustige knuffelmomenten en vindt het prettig wanneer je tegen haar praat. Een ding is zeker, Tess zorgt voor een warme toevoeging aan je leven! Wij zoeken voor Tess een liefdevol en levendig huishouden waar regelmatig iemand aanwezig is. Ze kan eventueel bij kinderen vanaf 6 jaar geplaatst worden. Een soortgenoot in huis zal ze leuk vinden, maar is geen vereiste. Tess kan als binnenkat gehouden worden, mits er voldoende uitdaging binnenshuis aanwezig is. Mocht de mogelijkheid er zijn en de omgeving veilig/rustig zijn, zou Tess uiteraard ook naar buiten kunnen. Ga terug

About Tess

What life with Tess looks like

Tess is a large kitten 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 Tess, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tess?: 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 Tess on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tess 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tess 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 Tess 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 Tess 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.
