Bella

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Bella is a beautiful 1-year-old tortoiseshell cat who is looking for a loving forever home of her very own. Bella is a super friendly girl who has lots of love to give and is sure to make a wonderful companion for her lucky new family. ❤️ Sadly, Bella has a wound behind her front leg where her collar became stuck during her days as a stray. We are currently treating this and making sure she gets the care she needs. Thankfully, this doesn’t take away from what a lovely girl she is, and we’re sure she’ll make a full recovery. 💗 As Bella has been used to having outdoor access, she will need a home where she can safely enjoy the outdoors once she has settled in and is fully recovered. 🌿🏡 Bella is still only young and has her whole life ahead of her. She deserves a loving home where she can feel safe, cherished and part of the family. Could you be the special person to give this beautiful tortie her happily ever after? Please get in touch if you think Bella could be the girl for you! 🐱💖

About Bella

What life with Bella looks like

Bella is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary 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 phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Thornberry Animal Sanctuary 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?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Thornberry Animal Sanctuary 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Bella 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 Bella 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 Thornberry Animal Sanctuary 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.
