Lize

Unknown · Young · 2 years

Lize, a young black cat with a shiny coat, born around 6-7-2024, is looking for a safe haven at Hokazo. She prefers the space above the kitchen counter, where she can observe everything and feel protected. We are looking for a place where she can eventually take up more space than the four shelves she currently seems to prefer. Lize looks at us suspiciously. If we get too close, she growls as a warning. But when she realizes we are just filling her food bowl at the counter, she calms down and remains alert. She does not seek out other cats. Lize values peace and a relaxed atmosphere at home, without other animals or children. She feels most comfortable with 1 or 2 caring adults who give her space and let her set her own pace. A portion of love, patience, and wet food (in addition to dry food) can work wonders. Lize would appreciate a hiding spot in her new home from which she can build a sense of security and trust. We want to give her the world! Do you have the ideal place where Lize can nest? Email us, mentioning Lize.

De beste schuilplek in Hokazo is het vak in de kast boven het aanrecht, aldus Lize. Van daaruit kan ze alles observeren en voelt de compacte ruimte beschermend. Voor deze jonge meid (geschatte geboortedatum 6-7-2024) met haar prachtig zwart glanzende vacht zoeken we een veilige haven. Een plek waar ze op termijn meer ruimte durft in te nemen dan de vier plankjes waar ze zich nu het prettigst lijkt te voelen. Lize kijkt ons wantrouwend aan. Komen we een stapje dichterbij, dan gromt ze even als waarschuwing. Maar als ze merkt dat we gewoon haar voerbakje komen vullen bij het aanrecht, is dit zo voorbij en blijft ze vooral alert. Andere katten zoekt ze niet op. Voor Lize is rust en een ongedwongen sfeer in huis belangrijk, zonder andere dieren of kinderen. Het beste voelt ze zich bij 1 of 2 zorgzame volwassen mensen die haar de ruimte geven en haar het eigen tempo laten bepalen. Een portie liefde, geduld en dagelijks natvoer (naast brokken) kan wonderen doen. Lize zal het waarderen als ze ook in haar nieuwe huis een schuilplekje krijgt van waaruit ze het gevoel van veiligheid en vertrouwen kan opbouwen. Want we gunnen haar de wereld! Heb jij de ideale plek waar Lize zich kan nestelen? Mail dan naar o.v.v. Lize.

About Lize

What life with Lize looks like

Lize is a 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 Lize, answered.

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