Comet

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 5 months

Comet was admitted into our care as a young kitten who ended up having a severe eye injury, after being monitored and examined by our veterinary team, the decision was made to remove the eye as it was badly damaged. This sweet boy is full of personality and is a real character, he is very outgoing and has a playful side which shines through when he is playing with his toys and exploring! He is also very affectionate and loves people and enjoys plenty of fuss and attention. Comet is looking for a loving home where he can be an indoor-only cat. He could live with children who are confident and used to cats in the home and will help him settle into his new environment. It is unknown how he would react to other animals in the home but could possibly live with another cat-friendly dog or cat with gradual introductions in the home.

About Comet

What life with Comet looks like

Comet is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at USPCA.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇮🇪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 Comet, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Comet?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. USPCA handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Comet on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Comet if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — USPCA 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Comet 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 Comet 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 USPCA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Comet 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.
