Poppy

Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Hi, I’m Poppy! My estimated date of birth is March 24, 2022—though that’s just an estimate, since I was found by the volunteers from the animal ambulance. During a check-up with the vet, it turned out I was pregnant. After that, I went to my foster home so I could grow up in peace and get used to people and household noises. It did take me some time to feel comfortable around humans, though. Whenever strangers come into the house, I like to find a quiet spot and watch them from a distance. I’ve completely trusted my foster mom now, but strange people still make me a bit nervous. My foster mom knows exactly how to pet me, and I absolutely love it! Because of that, I’m more likely to come over to you—those cuddles are simply too good to miss. My foster mom thinks this means I’ll adjust just fine to a new place. She even gets lots of head bumps from me regularly—check out the video attached for proof! My kittens have left the nest now, and I took such great care of them. Even the little ones who needed bottle-feeding, I let drink from me. They say I’m the best mom ever! Now that I don’t have to worry about kittens anymore, it’s my turn to move into a cozy little basket of my own. I’m looking for someone who’ll win my heart with calmness, patience, and plenty of delicious food. If you do that, you’ll have a friend for life in me. I won’t be placed with small children, because if you don’t read my body language correctly, I might end up scratching or biting. And picking me up still makes me a bit nervous. I’m not really fond of the dogs in my foster home, but I get along great with other cats. I don’t act dominant at all—so it’d be perfect if you had a feline buddy for me! I love playing with toys, and a scratching post is a must for me—whether it’s for taking a nap, stretching out comfortably, or just scratching away. And of course, I’ll need plenty of hiding spots too, especially when I first arrive at your place. I’m fully vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. I won’t need to go back to the vet for vaccinations until April next year. If you’re the one who wants to win my heart, I’d love for you to get in touch by filling out the contact form below—and who knows? Maybe we’ll get to meet soon! I’m ready to be adopted right away. Hope to see you soon!

Hoi, ik ben Poppy! Mijn vermoedelijke geboortedatum is 24 maart 2022. Vermoedelijk omdat ik gevonden ben door de vrijwilligers van de dierenambulance. Tijdens de controle door de dierenarts bleek ik drachtig te zijn. Ik ben toen naar mijn pleeggezin gegaan om in alle rust te kunnen groeien en te wennen aan mensen en huiselijke geluiden. Ik had wel tijd nodig om te wennen aan mensen. Ik zoek namelijk, als er vreemde mensen binnen komen, een rustig plekje op en bekijk ze dan van een afstandje. Het vertrouwen in mijn pleegvrouwtje is er inmiddels helemaal maar vreemde mensen vind ik nog spannend. Het pleegvrouwtje kan mij goed aaien en dat vind ik heerlijk. Hierdoor ben ik eerder geneigd om naar je toe te komen want die aaitjes wil ik niet missen. Mijn pleegvrouwtje denkt daardoor dat het wel goed komt met mij op een nieuwe plek. Zij krijgt ook al regelmatig kopjes van mij. Zie hiervoor bijgaand filmpje: Mijn kittens hebben het nest verlaten. Ik heb ontzettend goed voor ze gezorgd. Ook kittens die geflest moesten worden liet ik bij mij drinken. Een topmoedertje vinden ze mij hier. Nu ik niet meer voor kittens hoef te zorgen is het mijn beurt om naar een gouden mandje te gaan. Ik zoek iemand die met rust, geduld en veel lekker eten mijn hartje veroverd. Dan zul je een vriendin voor het leven hebben aan mij. Ik word niet bij kleine kinderen geplaatst want ik kan, als je mijn lichaamstaal niet goed leest, gaan slaan. En mij oppakken vind ik nog wel een beetje spannend. De honden in mijn pleeggezin vind ik niet zo fijn. Met andere katten kan ik wel goed opschieten. Ik stel mij niet dominant op. Prima als je dus een maatje voor me hebt. Ik vind het leuk om met speeltjes te spelen en een krabpaal is een must voor mijn dutje of om me lekker aan uit te rekken en te krabben. Zo ook de nodige verstopplekjes voor als ik net bij jullie ben. Ik ben volledig ingeënt, gechipt en gesteriliseerd. Volgend jaar april hoef ik pas naar de dierenarts voor mijn inentingen. Als jij diegene bent die mijn hartje wil veroveren dan nodig ik je van harte uit om te reageren door onderstaand contactformulier in te vullen en wie weet kun je kennis komen maken met mij. Ik mag meteen geplaatst worden. Hopelijk tot snel!

About Poppy

What life with Poppy looks like

Poppy is a small 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 Poppy, answered.

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