How do I contact the shelter about Wiep en Whiskers?

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

Can I adopt Wiep en Whiskers if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden 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 Wiep en Whiskers 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 Wiep en Whiskers 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 Dierentehuis Vijfheerenlanden early rather than rehoming privately; they know Wiep en Whiskers and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

Wiep en Whiskers

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 4 years

Wiep & Whiskers are looking for a loving home together 🐾 Meet Wiep and Whiskers, two young cats about 1 year and 2 months old who have had a difficult start. They were found and initially had no trust in people. Everything was exciting and scary. With a lot of patience, calmness and love, they have already made big steps. Wiep, the darkest cyper cat, is becoming more relaxed. She dares to make contact cautiously and shows that there is a sweet cat behind her cautious character. Whiskers, the cyper-white cat, finds new situations still very exciting. She needs a bit more time to trust someone. With a calm approach and without pushing her, you also see gradual progress with her. Once she realizes she is safe, she also takes steps in the right direction. For Wiep and Whiskers, we are looking for a quiet and patient home where they can grow at their own pace. They don't have to be cuddly cats from day one; people who enjoy winning their trust will get a lot of satisfaction from these two ladies. Because they are still young, we expect them to want to go outside again in the future. Of course, both cats are: ❤️ Sterilized 💉 Vaccinated 🆔 Microchiped Will you give these two special girls the time they need? Then you may not get two lap cats back directly, but the most beautiful gift: the trust of two cats that have learned that people can also be kind. Maybe Wiep and Whiskers can discover that with you. 🐱💕

Wiep & Whiskers zoeken samen een liefdevol thuis 🐾 Maak kennis met Wiep en Whiskers, twee jonge poezen van ongeveer 1 jaar en 2 maanden die samen een moeilijke start hebben gehad. Ze zijn gevonden en hadden in het begin totaal geen vertrouwen in mensen. Alles was spannend en eng. Met veel geduld, rust en liefde hebben ze al grote stappen gezet. Wiep, de donkerste cyper poes, begint steeds meer te ontspannen. Ze durft voorzichtig contact te maken en laat zien dat er achter haar voorzichtige karakter een lieve poes schuilt. Whiskers, de cyper-witte poes, vindt nieuwe situaties nog erg spannend. Ze heeft wat meer tijd nodig om iemand te vertrouwen. Met een rustige benadering en zonder haar te pushen zie je ook bij haar langzaam vooruitgang. Als ze eenmaal merkt dat ze veilig is, zet ook zij stapjes in de goede richting. Voor Wiep en Whiskers zoeken we een rustig en geduldig thuis waar ze op hun eigen tempo verder mogen groeien. Ze hoeven geen knuffelkatten vanaf dag één te zijn; juist mensen die genieten van het winnen van hun vertrouwen zullen ontzettend veel voldoening uit deze twee dames halen. Omdat ze nog jong zijn, verwachten we dat ze in de toekomst ook weer graag naar buiten willen. Uiteraard zijn beide dames: ❤️ Gesteriliseerd 💉 Geënt 🆔 Gechipt Gun jij deze twee bijzondere meisjes de tijd die ze nodig hebben? Dan krijg je er misschien niet direct twee schootkatten voor terug, maar wel het mooiste cadeau: het vertrouwen van twee katten die hebben geleerd dat mensen ook lief kunnen zijn. Misschien mogen Wiep en Whiskers dat bij jou verder ontdekken. 🐱💕
