Patrice

Unknown · Young · 2 years

A super cute cat with an estimated birth date of 01/03/2024. Patrice has lived her whole life roaming outside in a large cat colony. Because of the nuisance, she was caught in a trap and brought to our shelter. No one has come forward, so we are looking for a golden litter box for her. We can imagine that she is not jumping for joy when we come into her accommodation, because we humans have taken her from her familiar territory and locked her in a tiled room. Yet we did this for a very good reason because in the group she lived with, there were several cats that tested positive for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). We also tested Patrice and her test was also positive. Great luck for this group of cats that they can no longer make each other sick, so they can be reunited in the same accommodation. Despite her fear, Patrice does show herself to us, allows us to put treats near her, and lets us come close to her at a proper distance. We suspect that once she feels a bit more comfortable, trust will definitely grow and love will come through her stomach, so she will eventually be persuaded. She has not shown any visible symptoms of FIV and has been thoroughly examined by the veterinarian during the spaying, where it was noted that she looks very healthy and is allowed to move to her own place. We are looking for a quiet household without (young) children and/or dogs. It is important for FIV cats that the stress level remains as low as possible because they already have a slightly lower resistance due to FIV, and given her fear of people, this seems like the most peaceful option for her. Because FIV can be transmitted to other cats, Patrice cannot roam freely outside. She will be placed as an indoor cat or in a house with a cat-safe enclosed yard or cattery. Patrice cannot be placed with a healthy cat, but we think that if she is placed with another cat that also has FIV, she would feel very comfortable. Are you the needle in the haystack we are looking for for this cute cat? Then fill out the contact form below and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

Een super knappe poes met een geschatte geboortedatum van 01/03/2024. Patrice heeft haar hele leven in een grote kattenkolonie buiten gezworven. Omdat er overlast kwam, is ze met een vangkooi gevangen en naar onze opvang gebracht. Er heeft zich niemand gemeld en daarom gaan wij op zoek naar een gouden mandje voor haar. Wij kunnen ons wel voorstellen dat ze niet eerste rang staat te juichen als we haar verblijf binnen komen want wij mensen hebben haar uit haar vertrouwde territorium weggevangen en opgesloten in een betegeld kamertje. Toch hebben we dit met een hele goede reden gedaan want in de groep waar ze mee samen leefde zaten meerdere katten die positief zijn getest op kattenaids. We hebben Patrice ook getest en ook zijn testte positief. Groot geluk voor dit groepje katten dat ze elkaar in elk geval niet meer ziek kunnen maken dus dat ze samen herenigd worden in hetzelfde verblijf. Ondanks haar angst laat Patrice zich wel aan ons zien, mogen we lekkers bij haar neerzetten en laat ze toe dat we tot op gepaste afstand bij hem in de buurt komen. Wij vermoeden dat als ze zich een beetje op haar gemak gaat voelen, het vertrouwen echt wel gaat groeien én dat liefde bij haar door de maag gaat dus dat ze zich op ten duur ook wel zal laten omkopen ;) Ze heeft tot nu toe nog geen zichtbare klachten van de FIV en is helemaal onderzocht door de dierenarts tijdens de sterilisatie waarbij is geconstateerd dat ze er goed uit ziet en zou mogen gaan verhuizen naar een eigen plekje. We zijn op zoek naar een rustig huishouden zonder (kleine) kinderen en/of honden. Het is voor FIV katjes belangrijk dat het stressniveau zo laag mogelijk blijft omdat ze door de FIV al een wat lagere weerstand hebben en gezien haar angst voor mensen lijkt dit ons het meest rustige voor haar. Omdat FIV overgedragen kan worden op andere katten mag Patrice niet vrij buiten rondlopen. Ze wordt geplaatst als binnenkat of in een huisje met een voor katten veilige afgezette tuin/kattenren. Patrice kan niet bij een gezonde kat geplaatst worden maar bij of met een ander katje dat ook FIV heeft denken wij dat ze zichzelf wel heel erg op haar gemak zou kunnen voelen. Ben jij de speld in de hooiberg waar we naar op zoek zijn voor deze knappe poes? Vul dan onderstaand contactformulier in en dan nemen we zo snel mogelijk contact met je op.

About Patrice

What life with Patrice looks like

Patrice is a large 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 Patrice, answered.

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