Twinkle en Pixie

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 3 months

Twinkle and Pixie are two calico kittens about 13 weeks old. They were found as a litter at the shelter. In their foster home, they have developed into cozy and playful ladies. Occasionally, they like to cuddle but then quickly get restless again. Pixie can find new situations quite exciting and seeks support from her sister or the house cat. For these sweethearts, we are looking for a home where they really have space. After all, they are calicos and sometimes really need their own space when they've had enough of each other.

Twinkle en Pixie zijn twee lapjeskittens van ongeveer 13 weken oud. Ze zijn als vondeling in het asiel gekomen. In het pleeggezin hebben ze zich ontpopt als gezellige en speelse dames. Af en toe willen ze wel even knuffelen maar daarna snel weer door om de boel op stelten te zetten. Pixie kan nieuwe situaties wel heel spannend vinden en zoekt dan steun bij haar zus of de kat des huizes. Voor deze lieverds zoeken we een huis waar ze echt de ruimte hebben. Het zijn per slot van rekening lapjes en hebben soms echt behoefte aan ruimte apart als ze elkaar even zat zijn.

About Twinkle en Pixie

What life with Twinkle en Pixie looks like

Twinkle en Pixie is a 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.

🇳🇱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 Twinkle en Pixie, answered.

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