Vlinder

European Shorthair · Female · Senior · 11 years

Vlinder is een rustige, lieve poes die nieuwe situaties eerst even rustig aankijkt. Ze neemt graag de tijd om te wennen en zal in het begin de kat uit de boom kijken, soms kan ze even blazen uit onzekerheid. Geef je haar die ruimte, dan zie je al snel haar echte, aanhankelijke karakter. Ze geniet dan van aandacht, komt kopjes geven en zoekt graag gezelschap op. Soms vindt ze het zó fijn dat ze er zelfs een beetje van gaat kwijlen. Voor Vlinder zoeken we een rustig en liefdevol huishouden, eventueel met kinderen vanaf 12 jaar. Ze kan goed overweg met andere katten, maar het is geen vereiste dat er al een soortgenoot aanwezig is. Vlinder kan prima als binnenkat gehouden worden. Een veilig afgesloten tuin of balkon zou ze zeker waarderen, maar is geen vereiste. Ga terug

About Vlinder

What life with Vlinder looks like

Vlinder is a senior european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Arnhem in Netherlands.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇳🇱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 Vlinder, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Vlinder?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dierentehuis Arnhem handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Vlinder on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Vlinder if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dierentehuis Arnhem 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 Vlinder 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 Vlinder 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 Arnhem early rather than rehoming privately; they know Vlinder 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.
