How do I contact the shelter about Tsjoef en Tuff?

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 Tsjoef en Tuff on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tsjoef en Tuff 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 Tsjoef en Tuff 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 Tsjoef en Tuff 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 Tsjoef en Tuff 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.

Tsjoef en Tuff

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten · 3 months

Tuff and Tsjoef are 12-week-old brother and sister. Tsjoef (cypers with white) is a bit on the small side, but he doesn't even notice. He runs and plays just as fast as his siblings. Tsjoef loves people, to play with them, cuddle with them, and is also very good at getting food from them. He sets a good example for Tuff, they can play together wonderfully and Tuff really looks up to her little brother. Tuff is a cypers kitten who is still very uncertain. In one of our foster families, she is slowly gaining trust in people. Tuff really wants a safe spot; a safe place from which she can explore her new home and people. This can be a bench or a very large travel crate. We are looking for a quiet household without small children with people who have a lot of patience to help Tuff become more confident in herself and her surroundings. Tsjoef would love to help with that because together everything is twice as fun. When they grow up, they would love to be able to go outside.

Tuff en Tsjoef zijn broer en zus van 12 weken oud. Tsjoef (cypers met wit) is nog iets aan de kleine kant maar daar heeft hij zelf helemaal geen weet van. Hij rent en vliegt net zo hard als zijn broertjes. Tsjoef vindt mensen wel leuk, om samen mee te spelen, te kroelen en ook erg handig om eten van te krijgen. Hij geeft het goede voorbeeld aan Tuff, ze kunnen heerlijk samen spelen en Tuff trekt zich echt aan haar broertje op. Tuff is een cypers poesje wat nog erg onzeker is. In een van onze pleeggezinnen begint ze langzaam vertrouwen in mensen te krijgen. Tuff wil wel heel graag een safe spot; een veilige plek van waaruit hij zijn nieuwe huis en mensen kan verkennen. Dit kan een bench of hele grote reismand zijn. We zoeken voor dit stel een rustig huishouden zonder kleine kinderen met mensen die veel geduld hebben om Tuff te helpen om zekerder van zichzelf en haar omgeving te worden. Tsjoef wil daar heel graag bij helpen want samen is alles dubbel zo leuk. Als ze later groot zijn willen ze wel heel graag naar buiten kunnen.

Tsjoef en Tuff is a large puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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.
