Belle

Unknown · Young · 3 years

Hi, I'm Belle. I'm a beautiful tortoiseshell cat, and the shelter estimates I was born around June 15, 2023. I was found wandering and unfortunately, no one has claimed me. I've had to get used to living with multiple cats in one enclosure, and at first, I didn't like the strange two-legged creatures. Some people come and sit with me and chat quietly. But the most important thing they have is food, and I'm willing to eat it. I'm getting more comfortable, and they've even petted me while I eat. But I still need practice, it's still a bit too scary for now. But I think if you see me every day, I'll get used to it (see video). If you take your time, I'll come up to give you head rubs. I can get along with other cats. Small children are a bit scary for me right now. Do you have a nice place for me? Maybe with another cat. Email tav. Belle.

Hi, ik ben Belle. Ik ben een knappe schildpadpoes, ze schatten hier dat ik ben geboren rond 15 juni 2023. Ik ben zwervend gevonden en helaas heeft niemand zich voor mij gemeld. Ik heb best moeten wennen om hier met meerdere katten in een verblijf te zitten, ik moest dan ook in het begin niks hebben van die rare tweevoeters. Je hebt hier ook mensen die lekker bij je komen zitten en rustig tegen je kletsen. Maar het belangrijkste wat ze bij hebben is lekker eten en daar ben ik wel voor te porren. Ik durf steeds een stapje verder te zetten, ze hebben me tijdens het eten ook al een keer mogen aaien. Maar hier heb ik nog wel oefening voor nodig, vind het voor nu nog net te spannend. Maar ik denk: als ik je iedere dag zien dat ik snel om kan gaan (zie filmpje). Als je rustig de tijd neemt kom ik vanzelf kopjes geven. Ik kan met andere katten. Kleine kinderen zijn voor nu wat spannend voor me. Heb jij een fijn plekje voor me? Eventueel met een andere kat. Mail dan naar tav. Belle.

About Belle

What life with Belle looks like

Belle is a small young adult cat waiting at Hokazo in Uden.

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 Belle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Belle?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hokazo handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Belle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Belle if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hokazo 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 Belle 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 Belle 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 Hokazo early rather than rehoming privately; they know Belle 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.
