Donald

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Male, 7 years old, Indoor/Outdoor. Being prepared for travel, ready soon! Emna, one of our rescuers, was feeding the stray cats one night when she spotted Donald lying by a waste bin. He wanted to stand up and come to get some food but was too weak to do so. When Emna saw he wasn’t moving she slowly approached him and realised he couldn’t move. He had been hit by a car in the face, which had broken his jaw and nearly knocked his eye out. Emna ran home to get a box to put him in. She flagged down a passing taxi driver who took her to the nearest vet where Donald was stabilised. It took him 10 days of intensive treatments to get him strong enough to withstand an anaesthetic, so the vet could operate to fix his jaw. A week later he was in surgery again to save his eye and to be neutered. After another two weeks at the vets he was finally strong enough to go home with Emna, where he is now fully recovered. Handsome Donald is a calm and very loving cat - he's grateful to have been given a chance to live by Emna. We're looking for a wonderful home for him. He's great with other cats but has not had exposure to children or many dogs yet, so careful introductions would be needed. Could his peaceful life be with you?

About Donald

What life with Donald looks like

Donald is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Rescue Animals of North Africa (RANA) 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 Donald, answered.

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