Vino

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Filling out this form does not automatically mean you can adopt these cats for real. "*" indicates required fields. Vino is a 10-week-old female. She is staying in a foster family where she is doing well. Vino is all about running, jumping, flying, diving, falling, standing up, and getting back up again. We suspect she might also want some playtime, as she probably had a cold for a while and is feeling much better now. In the foster family, there is another cat, but to be honest, Vino is not a kitten that seeks much contact with her kind. She is more of a people cat. Whether young or old, big or small, it doesn’t matter to her. With her curious nose, she is very interested in going outside, and we think it will not be possible to keep her from going outside in the future. Her desire is simply too strong.

Het invullen van dit formulier betekent niet automatisch dat u ook daadwerkelijk deze kat(ten) bij ons kunt adopteren. Wij doen ons best om zo snel mogelijk contact met u op te nemen. "*" geeft vereiste velden aan Vino is een poesje van 10 weken oud. Ze zit bij ons in een pleeggezin waar ze zich prima vermaakt. Vino is van het rennen, springen, vliegen, duiken, vallen, opstaan en weer opstaan. We vermoeden dat ze ook wel wat speeltijd in wil halen, ze heeft waarschijnlijk een tijdje niesziekte gehad en voelt zich sinds kort weer een stuk beter. In een pleeggezin is er een andere kat, maar eerlijk gezegd is Vino niet een kitten die veel contact zoekt met soortgenoten. Ze is toch meer een mensenkat. Jong, oud, groot, klein het maakt haar allemaal niet uit. Met haar nieuwsgierig neusje is ze al zeer geïnteresseerd in buiten en wij denken dat het niet mogelijk zal zijn om haar in de toekomst niet naar buiten te laten gaan. Daarvoor is het verlangen van Vino simpelweg te groot.

About Vino

What life with Vino looks like

Vino is a large puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Netherlands.

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 Vino, answered.

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