BLACKY

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

BLACKY Male • DOB December 2024 Neutered • Fully vaccinated • Microchipped • FELV tested Blacky is a stunning young boy who was brought into our clinic after being attacked by a pack of dogs. He was unable to use his hind legs, and following X‑rays and further examination, our findings suggested he had sustained trauma to his spine. He received intensive supportive care and treatment to stabilise him and give him the best chance of recovery. Over time, Blacky made remarkable progress, gaining strength, standing on his own, and eventually walking again. Although he has recovered physically, his behaviour and confidence were not suitable for surviving safely as a free‑roaming cat. For this reason, we decided to keep him in our care until we can find him a safe, understanding home in the West. Blacky has no ongoing medical concerns related to his injury and enjoys a comfortable, healthy life with us. But shelter life is not fair for such a young cat. Day by day, he is learning to trust pe

About BLACKY

What life with BLACKY looks like

BLACKY is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Nowzad 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 BLACKY, answered.

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