Zaza

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Zaza is a sweet and calm cat with a gentle nature. She likes to observe new situations and people from a distance. She needs some extra time to get used to new things, which is completely fine. Zaza came to the shelter with her three young kittens, and she was allowed to go to a loving foster family where she could raise them peacefully. The kittens are ready to fly out, so we are also looking for Zaza's forever home. Because she is a bit uncertain and likes a quiet place, we don't place her with small children. She also prefers to be alone without other animals. Going outside is not necessary for Zaza, but she does enjoy a fresh breeze on a balcony. Going outside in a quiet environment is also fine for her. For this sweet and sensitive girl, we are looking for a quiet home where she can get used to everything at her own pace.

Zaza is een lieve en rustige poes die een zachtaardig karakter heeft. Ze kijkt graag even de kat uit de boom bij nieuwe situaties en bij nieuwe mensen. Ze heeft wat extra tijd nodig om te wennen wat helemaal niet erg is. Zaza kwam in het asiel binnen met haar 3 jonge kittens, ze mocht met haar gezinnetje naar een liefdevol gastgezin waar ze ze rustig kon grootbrengen. De kittens zijn er klaar voor om uit te vliegen en daarom zoeken we voor Zaza ook haar gouden mandje. Omdat ze wat onzeker is en een rustige plek fijn vind plaatsen we haar niet bij kleine kinderen, ze heeft ook het liefste het rijk alleen zonder andere dieren. Naar buiten gaan hoeft niet perse voor Zaza maar ze vind het wel fijn om een frisse neus te kunnen halen op een balkon. Wel naar buiten gaan in een rustige omgeving is natuurlijk ook prima voor haar. Voor dit lieve en gevoelige meisje zoeken we een rustig huisje waar ze de tijd krijgt om te wennen en alles op haar tempo mag ontdekken.

About Zaza

What life with Zaza looks like

Zaza is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem in Netherlands.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇳🇱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 Zaza, answered.

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