Zeven dwergen

European Shorthair · Unknown · Kitten · 3 months

We are the seven dwarfs, Dopey, Doc, Grumpy, Bashful, Happy, Sneezy, and Sleepy, and we are about three months old. Sleepy is the tomcat, the others are female. We actually don't know who is who. It doesn't matter, we don't need to get our own tasks. We do what we want and can be quite wild. Running, flying, diving and going on, you know the type. We also love food and can be even wilder then. Although we are very curious and want to stick our noses everywhere, we are still shy and find touch exciting. A new owner will have to socialize us further. We don't all have to be placed in one house together. Pairs or singles are also fine. In the latter case, it will help if there is already another social cat in the house that is used to other cats.

Hoi wij zijn de zeven dwergen, Dopey, Doc, Grumpy, Bashful, Happy, Sneezy en Sleepy en zijn een maand of drie oud. Sleepy is de kater, de anderen zijn poesjes. Wie wie precies is weten wij eigenlijk ook niet. Ach maakt ook niet uit, dan hoeven we ook niet elk een eigen taak te krijgen. We doen lekker wat we willen en kunnen behoorlijk wild zijn. Rennen, vliegen, duiken en weer door gaan, u kent het type wel. We zijn ook dol op eten en kunnen dan nog stukje wilder zijn.. Alhoewel we erg nieuwsgierig zijn en overal ons neusje in willen steken zijn we toch ook wel verlegen en vinden we aanraking nog wel spannend. Een nieuwe eigenaar zal ons nog wel verder moeten socialiseren. We hoeven niet allemaal met z’n zevenen in één huis geplaatst te worden. Per tweetal of alleen mag ook wel. In dat laatste geval zal het helpen als er al een andere sociale kat in huis is die andere katten gewend is.

About Zeven dwergen

What life with Zeven dwergen looks like

Zeven dwergen is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Dierentehuis Stevenshage Leiden in Leiden.

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 Zeven dwergen, answered.

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