How do I contact the shelter about Gradje?

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 Gradje on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Gradje 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 Gradje 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 Gradje 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 Gradje 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.

Gradje

Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Gradje has a large cat head that gives him a tough appearance. But those who get to know him soon discover that a strong head hides a small heart. Gradje is actually a real cuddle cat. Gradje has an estimated birth date of April 22, 2022. He came to the shelter as a stray. He now shows that he gets along well with other cats. In his enclosure, he can get along well with his fellow cats. There is an important condition for Gradje in his new home. He is FIV-positive, which means that his resistance is somewhat lower. FIV is the virus that can cause feline AIDS. An FIV-positive cat can still live a long and happy life. However, Gradje should not be allowed to roam freely outside. A safe indoor environment is therefore important. Whoever gives Gradje a place gets a cat that may look like he controls the whole neighborhood, but in the meantime he especially likes to be close to his people. His tough appearance and soft character together make him so special. Gradje may possibly be adopted together with another FIV-positive cat. We are looking for a home for him where his health and need for safety are taken into account, and where he can be himself: a large cat with a small heart and a big need for cuddles. Do you want to give Gradje a nice home? Then mail to tav. Gradje.

Gradje heeft een grote katerkop die hem een stoere uitstraling geeft. Maar wie hem leert kennen, ontdekt al snel dat achter die stevige kop een klein hartje schuilgaat. Gradje is namelijk een echte knuffelkont. Gradje heeft een geschatte geboortedatum van 22 april 2022. Hij kwam als zwerver bij het asiel binnen. Inmiddels laat hij zien dat hij het gezelschap van andere katten prima vindt. In zijn verblijf kan hij goed overweg met zijn soortgenoten. Voor Gradje is er wel een belangrijke voorwaarde bij zijn nieuwe thuis. Hij is FIV-positief, wat betekent dat zijn weerstand wat lager ligt. FIV is het virus dat kattenaids kan veroorzaken. Een FIV-positieve kat nog steeds een fijn en lang leven leiden. Wel mag Gradje niet vrij buiten rondlopen. Een veilige binnen omgeving is daarom belangrijk. Wie Gradje een plek geeft, krijgt een kater die er misschien uitziet alsof hij de hele buurt onder controle heeft, maar ondertussen vooral graag dichtbij zijn mensen is. Zijn stoere uiterlijk en zachte karakter vormen samen precies wat hem zo bijzonder maakt. Gradje mag eventueel samen met een andere FIV-positieve kat worden geadopteerd. Voor hem zoeken we een thuis waar zijn gezondheid en behoefte aan veiligheid goed worden meegenomen, en waar hij vooral lekker zichzelf mag zijn: een grote kater met een klein hartje en een flinke behoefte aan knuffels. Wil je Gradje een fijn huisje geven? Mail dan naar tav. Gradje.
