Arabella

Mixed Breed ยท Female ยท Kitten ยท 4 months

Meet Arabella ๐Ÿ’• STRICTLY INDOOR ONLY HOME Meet our stunning British Shorthair girl, Arabella! Arabella arrived into our care with her seven kittens and was the most wonderful mummy to them all. She absolutely adored her babies, and after watching each of them find their forever homes, itโ€™s now Arabellaโ€™s turn to find a family of her own. Arabella is a quiet, gentle and soft-natured girl who enjoys the simple things in life. She loves nothing more than settling down in a soft, cosy bed with a comfy blanket and enjoying all the home comforts she deserves. She does have a playful side too and particularly enjoys some catnip playtime! ๐Ÿฅฐ She is also a real foodie and loves her grub, with chicken or salmon making for a very special treat. ๐Ÿ—๐ŸŸ One of the things we love most about Arabella is how much she enjoys feline company. She has loved spending time with some of the kittens still in our care and has been such a lovely companion to them. They seem to love her just as much as she loves them! โค๏ธ Now her kittens have all found their forever homes, we would love to see Arabella find a special family of her own where she can enjoy plenty of love, comfort, good food and perhaps some feline company too. ๐Ÿพ

About Arabella

What life with Arabella looks like

Arabella is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months โ€” most shelters arrange this before adoption.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting from Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Arabella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Arabella?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Arabella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Arabella if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Arabella 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Arabella isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Arabella 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 โ€” 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.
