Rocky

Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Rocky is a blind kitten, approximately 4 months old (born on April 2, 2026), who has already endured an incredible amount in his short life. Together with his three brothers, sister, and loving mother cat, he grew up thriving. Everything was going well: the kittens drank well, and their mother cared for her little ones with great love. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when a virus broke out, and the entire litter became ill. The virus severely affected Rocky’s eyes, eventually requiring both eyes to be removed—a major procedure for such a tiny fellow. Following that, he went through a recovery period wearing an eye patch, which of course wasn’t very comfortable. But despite everything, Rocky is an absolute star! Despite his blindness, he manages brilliantly. He knows his way around the house, climbs effortlessly into the scratching posts, and plays joyfully with the other kittens. When you watch him play and explore, you’d almost forget that he can’t see at all. Rocky is an incredibly social, sweet, and affectionate kitten. He loves to curl up on your lap and clearly enjoys cuddles and gentle petting on his little head. For him, we’re looking for a calm, loving home where someone is often around to give him the attention he deserves. A social cat or female companion would also be wonderful—especially if you’re not always home.

Rocky is een blind kitten van ongeveer 4 maanden oud (geboortedatum 2-4-2026) die in zijn korte leventje al ontzettend veel heeft moeten doorstaan. Samen met zijn drie broertjes, zusje en lieve mamapoes groeide hij voorspoedig op. Alles verliep goed: de kittens dronken goed en hun moeder zorgde vol liefde voor haar kleintjes. Helaas sloeg het noodlot toe toen er een virus uitbrak en het hele nest ziek werd. Het virus tastte de oogjes van Rocky zo ernstig aan dat beide oogjes uiteindelijk verwijderd moesten worden. Een enorme ingreep voor zo’n klein ventje. Daarna volgde een periode van herstel met een kapje, wat natuurlijk niet prettig was. Maar wat is Rocky een kanjer! Ondanks zijn blindheid redt hij zich fantastisch. Hij kent de weg in huis, klimt moeiteloos in de krabpalen en speelt uitbundig met de andere kittens. Als je hem ziet spelen en ontdekken, zou je bijna vergeten dat hij niets kan zien. Rocky is een ontzettend sociaal, lief en aanhankelijk katje. Hij komt graag bij je op de bank liggen en geniet zichtbaar van knuffels en zachte aaitjes over zijn bolletje. Voor hem zoeken we dan ook een rustig en liefdevol thuis waar iemand veel aanwezig is en hem de aandacht kan geven die hij verdient. Een sociale kat of poes als maatje zou ook heel fijn zijn, zeker als je niet altijd thuis bent.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a small puppy/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 Rocky, answered.

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