Rocky

Mixed Breed · Male · 6 months

Rocky is found with his siblings and he is a real tomcat, he attacks the big cats and the dog like it's nothing... lovely cheeky and enterprising, as soon as he has had his play time he likes to sleep with you, that's his other side. Rocky is in a foster home and is now growing up with other cats, dogs and children and has nothing to fear. He gets along well with other cats but they must be able to take a beating because he can play quite rough. In the future, when he is old enough, we think he would like to go outside to explore.

NL·Show original

Rocky is gevonden samen met zijn broertjes en zusjes en hij is een echte kater, bespringt de grote katten en de hond alsof het niks is.. heerlijk brutaal en ondernemend, zodra die zijn speeluurtje weer gehad heeft komt die graag bij je slapen, dat is zijn andere kant. Rocky zit in een gastgezin en groeit nu op met andere katten, honden en kinderen en heeft echt niets te vrezen. Hij kan goed met andere katten maar die moeten wel tegen een stootje kunnen omdat hij behoorlijk ruw kan spelen. In de toekomst als hij eenmaal oud genoeg is denken we wel dat hij graag naar buiten toe zou willen om op ontdekkingstocht te gaan.

About Rocky

What life with Rocky looks like

Rocky is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem in Netherlands.

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 Rocky, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rocky?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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 — Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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 Stichting Dierenasiel Gorinchem 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.
