Madelief

Unknown · Kitten · 2 months

Madelief (born August 17 this year) is the kind of kitten you take straight into your heart! She is full of zest for life and radiates it in everything she does. She has always been the most curious of the litter and is consistently ahead of the pack in her development: growing, going on adventures, playing, and eating kibble on her own. Madelief is a calico kitten with energy for 10 and prefers to play all day long. On the rare occasions when she does get tired, you can give her lovely cuddles, she offers up her belly and purrs contentedly. She is also perfectly fine with being picked up. It won't surprise her foster family if she grows into a real cuddle cat! Madelief is independent, but also enjoys playing with her brother and sisters immensely. She can therefore be adopted on her own, or together with one of them (Bas, Yuna, Yvon, Liek). Madelief currently lives in Nijmegen. By the time she can be adopted, she will be fully vaccinated. She can move to her new home from October 26. Upon adoption, a voucher for neutering at a Hokazo veterinarian will be included. Can you offer Madelief plenty of challenge in addition to lots of love? Then respond for this incredibly sweet girl by filling in the contact form below.

Madelief (van 17 augustus dit jaar) is zo’n kitten dat je direct in je hart sluit! Zij heeft zin in het leven en straalt dat in alles uit. Ze is altijd de nieuwsgierigste van het nest geweest en loopt steeds voorop in de ontwikkeling; groeien, op ontdekkingstocht gaan, spelen en zelfstandig brokjes eten. Madelief is een lappenpoesje met energie voor 10 en speelt het liefst de hele dag. De enkele keren dat ze dan toch moe is, kun je haar heerlijk aaien, biedt zij haar buikje aan en spint ze tevreden. Ze vindt het ook helemaal prima om opgepakt te worden. Het zal haar pleeggezin niet verbazen als zij zich ontplooit tot een echte knuffelkat! Madelief is zelfstandig, maar geniet ook ontzettend van spelen met haar broertje en zusjes. Ze kan dus alleen, of samen met een van hen (Bas, Yuna, Yvon, Liek) worden geadopteerd. Madelief woont nu in Nijmegen. Wanneer zij geadopteerd mag worden is ze volledig geënt. Vanaf 26 oktober mag zij verhuizen. Bij adoptie wordt een tegoedbon voor neutralisatie bij een dierenarts van Hokazo meegegeven. Kun jij Madelief naast heel veel liefde ook voldoende uitdaging bieden? Reageer dan op dit onwijs lieve meisje door onderstaand contactformulier in te vullen.

About Madelief

What life with Madelief looks like

Madelief is a kitten cat waiting at Hokazo in Uden.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇳🇱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 Madelief, answered.

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