Stichting Jasmijn

Stichting Jasmijn is a shelter devoted exclusively to cats in Zeist, in the province of Utrecht, the Netherlands. Since 2003 it has taken in stray and feral cats at its Odijkerweg base, giving them a safe place to live and, whenever possible, a permanent home.

Working with feral cats demands patience: the team gives them time, steady routines and hiding places where they feel safe, until many learn to trust people. Sociable cats and youngsters move sooner into the adoption room.

Adoptions are prepared calmly and with good knowledge of each cat; the shelter favours quiet homes and, for the shyest ones, people with experience. It also advises Zeist residents on cat colonies and neutering.
