Ronald

Unknown · Young · 3 years

Since April, Ronald the tomcat has been staying at Hokazo. We found him wandering and estimate his birth date to be 7-5-2023. We can't tell much about him, because Ronald is very scared. He prefers to hide safely. He curls up all alone in a corner and hides from all the commotion around him. He is clearly not used to it. When we approach Ronald, he remains very still. If we look past his fear, we see a very friendly, gentle tomcat. We are therefore very curious how it would be for him if he came to a quiet environment where he gets the time to develop at his own pace. Without expectations and with all the love in the world. For Ronald, another cat is not necessarily needed. Our greatest wish is still that he can go to a place where another cat lives who is social with people and friendly to him. It could help him enormously to feel at home - in the long term. Can you offer this sweet timid cat a place where he can develop safely? Mail then with reference to Ronald

Sinds april logeert kater Ronald bij Hokazo. We hebben hem zwervend gevonden en schatten zijn geboortedatum op 7-5-2023. Veel kunnen we niet over hem vertellen, want Ronald is heel bang. Het liefst kruipt hij veilig weg. Heel alleen rolt hij zich op in een hoekje en verbergt hij zich voor alle drukte om hem heen. Hij is het duidelijk niet gewend. Als we Ronald benaderen, blijft hij heel stil zitten. Kijken we voorbij zijn angst, dan zien we een hele vriendelijke, zachtaardige kater. We zijn daarom heel benieuwd hoe het voor hem zou zijn als hij in een rustige omgeving komt waar hij de tijd krijgt om zich in eigen tempo te ontwikkelen. Zónder verwachtingen en mét alle liefde van de wereld. Voor Ronald lijkt een andere kat niet per se nodig. Onze grootste wens is toch dat hij naar een plek mag waar al een andere kat woont die sociaal is naar mensen en vriendelijk voor hem. Het zou hem enorm kunnen helpen om zich – op termijn – thuis te laten voelen. Kun jij dit lieve angsthaasje een plek bieden waar hij zich veilig kan ontwikkelen? Mail dan naar o.v.v. Ronald

About Ronald

What life with Ronald looks like

Ronald 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ronald, answered.

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