Demi

Unknown · Young · 2 years

Demi ended up as a stray at Hokazo. We estimate her date of birth to be 27 May 2024. She is still a real scaredy-cat and needs time to discover that people can also be safe. From her future owner, this mainly requires patience. Demi doesn't have to climb onto your lap or sit cosily next to you on the sofa right away. First she may settle in calmly. From there, she can build trust at her own pace. For Demi we are looking for a quiet home without children: a place where she isn't constantly expected to do something, but is given the space to set her own boundaries. Her new owner should be happy to see small steps: a cat that hides a little less often, stays sitting a bit longer when someone comes into the room, or in time dares to seek contact herself. How Demi reacts to other cats or dogs we don't know yet. That is why we are mainly looking for someone who understands that her placement is a matter of time, rest and trust. Whoever gives her that time gets the chance to get to know the cat behind her cautious attitude. Interested in Demi? Please email attn. Demi.

Demi is als zwerver bij Hokazo terechtgekomen. Haar geboortedatum schatten we op 27 mei 2024. Ze is nog een echt angsthaasje en heeft tijd nodig om te ontdekken dat mensen ook veilig kunnen zijn. Van haar toekomstige baasje vraagt dat vooral geduld. Demi hoeft niet meteen op schoot of gezellig naast je op de bank te zitten. Eerst mag ze rustig wennen. Vanuit daar kan ze op haar eigen tempo vertrouwen opbouwen. Voor Demi zoeken we een rustig huis zonder kinderen. Een plek waar niet steeds iets van haar wordt verwacht, maar waar ze de ruimte krijgt om zelf haar grenzen aan te geven. Haar nieuwe baasje moet het fijn vinden om kleine stapjes te zien: een kat die zich iets minder vaak verstopt, wat langer blijft zitten als iemand in de buurt komt of misschien op termijn zelf contact durft te zoeken. Hoe Demi reageert op andere katten of honden weten we nog niet. Daarom zoeken we vooral iemand die begrijpt dat haar plaatsing een kwestie van tijd, rust en vertrouwen is. Wie haar die tijd geeft, krijgt de kans om kennis te maken met de kat achter haar voorzichtige houding. Interesse in Demi? Mail dan naar tav. Demi.

About Demi

What life with Demi looks like

Demi 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 Demi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Demi?: 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 Demi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Demi 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Demi 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 Demi 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 Demi 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.
