Tulp

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Hoi ik ben Tulp en ik ben ongeveer 1 jaar oud. Ik ben naar het asiel gebracht nadat ik was bevallen in iemands tuin. Via het asiel ben ik naar een pleeggezin gegaan waar het toch een stuk fijner is om kittens op te voeden dan buiten op straat. Mijn kinderen gaan binnenkort de deur uit en ik ben gesteriliseerd en mag nu ook op zoek naar een nieuw eigen thuis. Ik ben verder heel makkelijk en kan met iedereen overweg. Laat me graag aaien, ook door kinderen en bezoek. Ik hou gewoon van gezelligheid en maak me niet snel druk om dingen. Een prima eigenschap om een fijn kastenleventje te leiden. Ik kijk er naar uit mijn nieuwe baasjes te ontmoeten.

About Tulp

What life with Tulp looks like

Tulp 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 Tulp, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tulp?: 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 Tulp on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tulp 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 Tulp 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 Tulp 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 Tulp 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.
