How do I contact the shelter about Rio?

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

Can I adopt Rio 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 Rio 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 Rio 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 Rio 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.

Rio

Unknown · Young · 1 year

I am Rio the cat. Petting and attention are my favorite things. Because I was found wandering, my birthdate is estimated to be July 3, 2024. They call my breed British Shorthair, and my soft fur is blue. I don't get it, I don't meow in English, I come from the Netherlands, and I'm not a smurf. Now comes the most important part of my story… I AM LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME! where I can be spoiled and have a golden litter box. Attention and time for me are also priorities for my future owner(s). They think at the shelter that playing with me is a good plan. A toy, a ball, and much more are available to build a bond while playing together. Everything indoors because I am placed as an indoor cat. Whether I can live with other cats or animals is not known at the shelter. And I don't want to be returned because it doesn't work with another housemate. So I choose to be the only pet in the house. Will you be my new forever friend who meets my needs? Do you choose my character over my appearance? Then I hope you will respond to this address: ovv Rio.

ik ben Rio de kater. Knuffelen en aandacht vind ik heerlijk. Omdat ik zwervend ben gevonden word mijn geboortedatum geschat op 3 juli 2024. Ze noemen mijn soort Britse korthaar, en mijn zachte vachtje blauw. Snap er niks van, ik miauw geen Engels, kom gewoon uit Nederland en ben géén smurf. Nu komt het belangrijkste gedeelte van mijn verhaaltje…. IK ZOEK EEN FOREVER HOME ! waar ik heerlijk verwend word en een gouden mandje aanwezig is. aandacht en tijd voor mij zijn ook prioriteiten voor mn toekomstig baasje(s). Ze denken hier in de opvang dat met mij spelen ook een goed plan is. Een hengeltje, een balletje en nog veel meer is er te koop om samen spelend een band op te bouwen. Dat alles wel binnenshuis omdat ik geplaatst word als binnenkat. Of ik met andere katten of dieren kan is hier in de opvang niet bekend. En ik wil niet retour omdat het met een andere huisgenoot niet klikt. Dus kies ik ervoor om het enigste dier des huizes te zijn. Word jij mijn nieuwe forever vriend die aan mijn wensen voldoet ? Kies jij ook voor mijn karakter en niet alleen voor mijn uiterlijk ? Dan hoop ik dat je reageert op dit adres : ovv Rio.

About Rio

What life with Rio looks like

Rio 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.
