Vanilla

Unknown · Adult · 9 years

Hi, I'm Vanilla, a black/white cat with an estimated birthdate of: 1-11-2017. I am now neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, dewormed, and declawed, and ready for adoption. I entered as a stray and unfortunately, no one has claimed me yet. I came in as a real scaredy-cat, not liking those strange people at all. And I made that very clear by hissing. In the meantime, I've regained my trust and am actually a big cuddle bug. I'm still a bit hissy towards people sometimes, but once I get to know them, my luck can't be beat with all those wonderful scratches. I'm looking for a quiet household as an indoor cat. Where I can receive an infinite amount of cuddles. Preferably a household with no small children, as I find them a bit exciting. Big children are okay if they are calm. I'm unfamiliar with dogs, so I've decided that there should not be any dogs in my new home. A fenced-in yard is nice, but not a must. An apartment is also fine. For more information, email tav.

Hoi ik ben Vanilla, een zwart/witte kater met een geschatte geboortedatum van: 1-11-2017. Ik ben inmiddels gecastreerd, gechipt, volledig gevaccineerd, ontwormd en ontvlooid en klaar voor verhuizing. Ik ben als zwerver binnengekomen en helaas heeft er niemand zich gemeld voor mij. Ik kwam als een echt angsthaasje binnen, ik vond die vreemde mensen maar niks. En liet dat dan ook duidelijk horen, door te blazen. Inmiddels heb ik mijn vertrouwen terug gevonden en ben ik eigenlijk een hele grote knuffelkont. Ik ben af en toe nog wel wat blazerig naar mensen toe, maar als ik ze eenmaal ken dan kan mijn geluk niet op aan al die heerlijke kriebels. Ik ben op zoek naar een rustig huishouden als binnenkatje. Waar ik oneindig veel knuffels mag krijgen. Het liefst een huishouden waar geen kleine kinderen zijn, want die vind ik wel een beetje spannend. Grote kinderen kunnen als ze rustig zijn. Honden zijn onbekend voor mij, daarom heb ik besloten dat er bij mijn nieuwe huisje geen honden aanwezig moeten zijn. Een afgesloten tuin kan, maar is geen must. Een flat is ook goed. Bij interesse mail naar tav. Vanilla

About Vanilla

What life with Vanilla looks like

Vanilla 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 Vanilla, answered.

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