Please note the ‘Contact for Availability’ function is currently not working. Please email the Rescue direct () if you are enquiring about an animal and include the animal’s name ** Bella is a lovely girl who has arrived into our care through no fault of her own, as her owner was sadly no longer able to care for her. Bella has previously lived with another cat, so she may be able to share her new home with a feline friend following suitable introductions. She has had a health check and has started her vaccinations. She is also already spayed and microchipped. There is just one thing we would like to make potential adopters aware of. Bella’s previous owner has told us that she has experienced five seizures over the past three years. We do not know what has caused them, but after seeking further veterinary advice, our vets agree that because the seizures have been so infrequent, they would not recommend any investigations or treatment at this stage. Of course, this is something her new family would need to be aware of and keep an eye on, and veterinary advice should be sought if the seizures become more frequent or her circumstances change. We know that hearing about a medical history can sometimes put people off, but we really do not want this to overshadow what a lovely girl Bella is. She is a very friendly, sweet-natured little cat who deserves just as much chance of finding happiness as any other cat in our care. All Bella wants is a loving home where she can feel safe, settled and cherished. We would love nothing more than to see her back where she belongs, curled up in a cosy home with a family to call her own.

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is an adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Pennine Pen Animal Rescue CIO 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 Bella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bella?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Pennine Pen Animal Rescue CIO handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bella if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Pennine Pen Animal Rescue CIO whether they will for Bella, what they require (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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bella already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Pennine Pen Animal Rescue CIO lists Bella as vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Pennine Pen Animal Rescue CIO, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bella isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Pennine Pen Animal Rescue CIO about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bella 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.
