Tippie

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 1 year

Ik zie er op de foto's heel bang uit, maar ik kan best stoer zijn. Die camera vond ik gewoon heel eng. Ik ben een klein schildpad poesje met een snor en ik zoek een huisje met een dak. Een tuintje zou ik ook leuk vinden en een andere kat vind ik helemaal niet erg. Maar niet zo'n extreme druktemaker, daar word ik altijd wat nerveus van. Ik houd heel erg van kriebels en aaitjes maar wil wel graag eerst een snoepje om het ijs te breken.

About Tippie

What life with Tippie looks like

Tippie is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at DOA Dierenasiel Amsterdam in Amsterdam.

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 Tippie, answered.

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