Zoki

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 3 months

Zoki is a 13-week-old kitten. She came to us along with her brothers and sisters. She was born outdoors, but fortunately she was always cared for by people. As a result, she’s not afraid of anything. She won’t exactly be thrilled about very young children, but otherwise she thoroughly enjoys life. She’s playful and wouldn’t mind being placed with another young cat who also loves to play. This beautiful girl is looking forward to meeting her new owner(s).

Zoki is een poesje van 13 weken oud. Ze is bij ons gekomen samen met haar broertjes en zusjes. Ze is buiten geboren, maar gelukkig wel altijd verzorgd door mensen. Bang is ze dan ook niet. Alleen de allerkleinste kinderen zal ze niet echt op zitten te wachten, maar verder geniet ze van het leven. Is lekker speels en zal het niet erg vinden om geplaatst te worden bij een andere jonge kat, die ook wil spelen. Deze knappe meid kijkt er naar uit om haar nieuwe baasje(s) te ontmoeten.

About Zoki

What life with Zoki looks like

Zoki 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 Zoki, answered.

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