Tsariy

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Hi, I’m Tsariy and I’m 8 years old. When my owner is at work during the day, I can easily keep myself entertained. I love being outside—climbing trees, chasing mice, or just lounging in the sunshine. There’s plenty to do outdoors, and I definitely don’t want to give that up. In the evening, I like to curl up on the couch with my owner and cuddle on their lap. Of course, I only do that when I feel like it and when the house is quiet. I’m not a fan of crowds—no kids, and I’m not really into visitors either. Sometimes I’ll take a quick peek, but I’m the one who sets the rules. And that’s always been the case: if there’s something I don’t want, then no means no. So you’d better just leave me alone. When I have the freedom to roam—I mean, access to the cat flap—I’m a happy cat who won’t cause you any worries when you’re away during the day, yet still makes sure to pop by and say hello every evening.

Hoi ik ben Tsariy en ik ben 8 jaar oud. Als de baas overdag aan het werk is kan ik mezelf prima vermaken. Ik ben dan graag buiten klim graag in de bomen, jaag achter muizen aan of luier in het zonnetje. Er is genoeg te doen buiten en dat wil ik zeker niet opgeven. ’s avonds kom ik even bij de baas op de bank en wil ik knuffelen op schoot. Wel natuurlijk alleen wanneer ik daar zin in heb en wanner het rustig is in huis. Ik ben geen fan van drukte, kinderen nee, en ook met bezoek heb ik niet zoveel. Soms kom ik wel even kijken, maar ik bepaal de regels. Dat is natuurlijk sowieso een regel, als ik iets niet wil is nee ook nee. Dan kan je me beter met rust laten. Als ik lekker de vrijheid heb, kattenluik, ben ik een gelukkige dame waar je je geen zorgen om hoeft te maken als je overdag weg bent maar die toch ook wel even gedag komt zeggen elke avond.

About Tsariy

What life with Tsariy looks like

Tsariy is a 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 Tsariy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tsariy?
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 Tsariy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tsariy 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tsariy 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 Tsariy 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 Tsariy 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.
