Teun

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 4 years

Teun is een kater van 8 jaar. Hij is als vondeling bij ons gebracht, over zijn verleden weten wij niets. Teun kwam bij ons met een nare wond op zijn flank, gelukkig kan hij trots zeggen dat deze goed genezen is en dat niemand hier meer iets van ziet. Tevens heeft een gebitsanering ondergaan en is gecastreerd. Nu is hij helemaal apk goedgekeurd. Teun zelf voelt zich ook een stuk beter en raakt steeds meer op zijn gemak bij ons. Geeft kopjes en laat zich maar wat graag aaien door ons, geniet daar zichtbaar van. Erg stoer is Teun niet en hij gaat bij ons nog niet uitgebreid op onderzoek uit. Dit komt ook wel door de aanwezigheid van andere katten, daar heeft hij echt niets mee. Geef hem maar een rustig stabiel huishouden zonder andere dieren. Dan kan Teun zich nog meer ontspannen en genieten van het leven samen met de baas.

About Teun

What life with Teun looks like

Teun is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇳🇱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 Teun, answered.

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