Adopt Billy

Male · Adult · 5 years

Meet stunning Billy! He needs a new home urgently as the other cat he lives with hates him! Even though Billy is very friendly and playful. They live in a really small environment together and it's just not working. He is based in Egypt but for adoption in the UK. Age: ~1.5 years Neuter status: Neutered Weight: ~5.5Kg Rescue Story in brief : – He was found on the street with broken leg bones when he was rescued as a kitten. – After treatment, Billy is able to run and walk normally like any other cat. – Billy also suffered a jaw injury that was treated and he's now back to normal. – Billy suffered from gingivitis which resulted the extraction of many of his teeth, as a result he eats wet food only. Health or disability details: Asthma, needs dental supplements to keep plaque under control. Temperament details: – Billy is a friendly cat, who usually likes to play, chill, and purr very loudly. – He has the sweetest high pitched meows, and absolutely loves chin rubs. – Lap cat! – Billy is an affectionate cat, he might just need some time to adjust to a new environment. – He's very friendly with his humans, but with strangers he might need a bit of time to adjust, but he adapts very quickly, and gets used to people because he's social. – An ideal home for Billy would be with someone who can offer him time to play, as he needs to be stimulated. Provide access to a window so he can watch birds, leave him with interactive toys, or play with him yourself with a teaser or a ball – He's an energetic cat, which means he will need to play and run around. Don't expect him to just lie down all the time. – Cuddle time with his human is essential to him. – He might like another playful energetic cat to keep him busy, but that's not mandatory. – He thrives on human companionship. Travel fees of around £350 plus gift aid apply.

About Billy

What life with Billy looks like

Billy is a small adult cat waiting at Miracle 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 Billy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Billy?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Miracle handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Billy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Billy if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Miracle 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 Billy 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 Billy 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 Miracle early rather than rehoming privately; they know Billy 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.
