Adopt Yesse

Unknown · Young · 1 year

A handsome red tomcat with an estimated birth date of 08/04/2025. He was caught during a trapping operation and admitted to our rescue center. No one has come forward for him yet, so it's up to us to find him a nice place! Yesse finds us people scary. In the room where we placed him, he has claimed his own little hideout and remains there, lying still as long as we are present in the building, until he feels the coast is clear. Despite the fact that he finds people very stressful, he is not mean. When we want to put something near him (because yes, love goes through the stomach), he crawls a bit deeper into his hiding spot until our "scary hands" are gone again. Once we have left the room, he dares to eat the treat we brought. We hope we can win his trust quickly by doing this, and he will learn that we humans really mean well. Here at the shelter, Yesse is housed with other cats. As far as we can tell, he tolerates the company of the other cats well. We have not seen him seek contact with another cat or see him lying with another cat. We do not think he needs another cat, but he could possibly be placed in a house where another cat is already present. Because of Yesse's fear, we do not place him in a house with a dog and/or (small) children. We think he has enough difficulty getting used to people and life in a home environment. After a good adjustment period and once a good trusting bond has been established, Yesse might possibly go outside in the future. A cat-enclosed garden and/or cat run is always possible. Are you as in love with his beautiful red coat as we are? Then fill in the contact form below and we will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

Een knappe rode kater met een geschatte geboortedatum van 08/04/2025. Hij is gevangen bij een vangactie en in ons opvangcentrum opgenomen. Er heeft zich niemand voor hem gemeld, aan ons de taak om een fijn plekje voor hem te zoeken! Yesse vindt ons mensen maar eng. Hij heeft in het verblijf waar we hem in geplaatst hebben een eigen holletje geclaimd en blijft daar, zo lang wij in het pand aanwezig zijn, rustig liggen tot voor zijn gevoel de kust veilig is. Ondanks dat hij mensen erg spannend vindt doet hij niet gemeen. Wanneer we wat bij hem neer willen zetten (want ja, liefde gaat nu eenmaal door de maag), kruipt hij nog net wat dieper in zijn schuilplekje tot onze “enge handen” weer weg zijn. Wanneer we het verblijf verlaten hebben durft hij het gebrachte lekkers pas te gaan eten. We hopen dat we zijn vertrouwen hiermee snel wat meer gaan winnen en hij gaat leren dat wij mensen, het eigenlijk alleen maar goed bedoelen. Hier in de opvang zit Yesse samen met andere katten. Zo ver we het in kunnen schatten tolereert hij het gezelschap van de andere katten prima. We hebben hem niet zelf contact zien zoeken of hem met of bij een andere kat zien liggen. We vermoeden dan ook niet dat hij een andere kat nodig heeft maar zou eventueel in een huisje geplaast kunnen worden waar al een kat aanwezig is. Vanwege de angst bij Yesse plaatsen we hem niet in een huisje met een hond en/of (kleine) kinderen. We denken dat hij al genoeg moeite heeft met het wennen aan mensen en het leven in een huiselijke omgeving. Yesse zou het na een goede wenperiode en wanneer er een goede vertrouwensband is opgebouwd, in de toekomst, wellicht naar buiten kunnen. Een voor katten afgezette tuin en/of kattenren kan natuurlijk altijd. Ben jij net zo verliefd op zijn prachtige rode vachtje als wij zijn? Vul dan onderstaand contactformulier in en dan nemen we zo snel mogelijk contact met je op.

About Yesse

What life with Yesse looks like

Yesse is a small 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 Yesse, answered.

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