Dotty

Mixed Breed Cat · Female

Hello everyone, My name is Dotty, you have probably seen my purrfect little face on here before. My personality: I am an independent girl but I also like a fuss, I will spend most of my time snoozing wherever I can find myself comfy. When I’m not snoozing away I love to spend my time roaming around outdoors, I love to explore and follow my humans around to see what they are getting up to. I love to chatter and make the cutest little noises, when I see you I always roll over on my back and make air biscuits, but be warned do not touch my belly it’s just to be looked at. The humans say I am a princess, which I am. I love to be loved and spoilt by my own family, I have all my toe beans crossed that someone will adopt me very soon. My ideal home: I would love a home with someone who is cat-savvy and can read and understand my BIG personality, I would be happiest living with no other pets and if I have to share my home with children I would like them to be aged 16+. Access to outdoors: I would love access to outdoors once I have settled in, I currently have free roam of the site here at Rain but I must say I spend 80% of my time snuggled up in the offices. Toileting: I am currently toileting outside, but I will use a litter tray. Did you know: Black and white cats were first domesticated thousands of years ago, likely in ancient Egypt. My adoption fee is £25.

About Dotty

What life with Dotty looks like

Dotty is a large adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Rain Rescue 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 Dotty, answered.

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