How do I contact the shelter about Vesper en Raven?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Vesper en Raven on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Vesper en Raven if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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 Vesper en Raven 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 Vesper en Raven 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 Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vesper en Raven 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.

Vesper en Raven

Mixed Breed · Female · 6 months

Vesper and Raven, two beautiful black sisters who were found together with their mom and eventually ended up in our shelter. These two ladies are real tree-climbers. Not because they don't want to make contact, on the contrary... they are extremely curious about the people around them. They really want to discover, but sometimes the world can still be a bit overwhelming. When you take the time for them, they come closer and closer. First, they take a cautious look, then maybe a small step forward, and then they want to be petted. They just need some time to get to know you and discover that you can be trusted. Vesper and Raven are looking for a quiet household, without too much hustle and bustle. A place where they don't have to do everything right away, but where they can grow in their own pace and gain confidence. With patience, love, and a little time, we expect these two beautiful girls to show more of themselves. In the future, they will probably want to go outside. A quiet environment where they can safely discover their surroundings would be very nice for them. Vesper and Raven are looking for a home together where people understand that love sometimes starts with a little distance... and that the best moment comes when a cautious cat decides to take a step closer on its own. Two black gems. Two sisters. One special story. Who gives Vesper and Raven the time to come out of their shell and let them discover how nice a home can be?

Maak kennis met Vesper en Raven, twee prachtige zwarte zusjes die samen met hun mama zijn gevonden en uiteindelijk bij ons in het asiel terechtkwamen. Deze twee dames zijn echte katten-uit-de-boom-kijkers. Niet omdat ze niet graag contact willen, integendeel… ze zijn juist ontzettend nieuwsgierig naar de mensen om hen heen. Ze willen heel graag ontdekken, maar vinden de wereld soms nog best een beetje spannend. Wanneer je rustig de tijd voor ze neemt, komen ze steeds een stapje dichterbij. Eerst voorzichtig kijken, dan misschien een klein stapje naar voren en dan een kroeltje halen. Ze hebben gewoon wat tijd nodig om je te leren kennen en te ontdekken dat je te vertrouwen bent. Vesper en Raven zijn dan ook op zoek naar een rustig huishouden, zonder al te veel drukte. Een plekje waar ze niet meteen van alles hoeven, maar waar ze op hun eigen tempo mogen groeien in zelfvertrouwen. Met geduld, liefde en een beetje tijd verwachten we dat deze twee mooie meisjes steeds meer van zichzelf zullen laten zien. In de toekomst zullen ze waarschijnlijk wel naar buiten willen. Een rustige omgeving waar ze op een veilige manier hun omgeving kunnen ontdekken, zou daarom heel fijn voor ze zijn. Vesper en Raven zoeken samen een thuis waar mensen begrijpen dat liefde soms begint met een beetje afstand… en dat het mooiste moment komt wanneer een voorzichtige kat zélf besluit om een stapje dichterbij te zetten. Twee zwarte pareltjes. Twee zusjes. Eén bijzonder verhaal. Wie geeft Vesper en Raven de tijd om uit hun schulp te komen en laat ze ontdekken hoe fijn een eigen thuis kan zijn?
