Isabelle

Mixed Breed Cat · Female

Gorgeous Isabelle was a stray at the age of 12, which is heartbreaking even before you consider her wobbly back legs and slightly wonky eyes. We think she had a home at some point as she’s spayed and incredibly friendly with humans — she absolutely loves a fuss and wants to be with you as much as possible. She’s negative for FIV/FELV, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. Her wobbly back legs don’t seem to be neurological, we think it’s probably the result of an accident that healed badly. The wobbles are very mild and she can still get around like a normal cat, but an indoor home might be safest for her, and we’d recommend keeping an eye out for arthritis as she gets older. She’s fine with other cats and would probably appreciate a friend unless her human can be around a lot, because she’s a very affectionate girl who likes company. We almost certainly have more cats than this, please message us to check! Sorry, updating the website is quite far down the priority list unfortunately!

About Isabelle

What life with Isabelle looks like

Isabelle is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Holly in United Kingdom.

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 United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Isabelle, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Isabelle?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Holly handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Isabelle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Isabelle if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Holly 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. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Isabelle 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 Isabelle 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 Holly early rather than rehoming privately; they know Isabelle 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 (EN). 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.
