BUSIA

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Adult · 5 years

Busia is a little bit special: she has been recently diagnosed as being FIV-positive. This means that she needs to stay indoors to avoid contracting any viruses or other nasties, and then she can have a full, happy life.Busia has been dubbed the Queen of Bunting, as she loves nothing more than nuzzling your forehead😊Busia is also a girl who knows the value of good appearances, so she loves getting groomed with a brush. In fact, Busia is a very relaxed and gentle individual in general, and while you wouldn’t call her a lap cat, she most certainly enjoys being close to her human😊As a great food enthusiast, Busia has managed to pile on a few extra pounds and is now having to lose some of it. But with guidance and proper diet, she can do it!If you would like to welcome this temperate sweetheart into your heart and home, please get in touch with us here below.

About BUSIA

What life with BUSIA looks like

BUSIA is an adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Kenmare Locality Animal Welfare Society in Waterville.

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 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 BUSIA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BUSIA?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Kenmare Locality Animal Welfare Society handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BUSIA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BUSIA if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Kenmare Locality Animal Welfare Society 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is BUSIA 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 BUSIA 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 Kenmare Locality Animal Welfare Society early rather than rehoming privately; they know BUSIA 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.
