Adopt Dua

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Young · 3 years

Please meet sweet Dua. Dua was born approx August 2023 and is fully sighted. Dua was found on the streets in Skopje, hiding under a car. She was scared and had never experienced human touch. So, she was afraid to come close to the rescuer for 5 days, although she was regularly fed by the lady. Finally, when we managed to take her from the streets, she got used to being with other cats and 3 dogs, and immediately started playing, like she has always been living with them. We guess that Dua has her front leg broken trying to hide inside a car’s engine, and that is how she was separated from her mother. As a playful girl, she must have been wandering around and got herself inside the engine of a car, that took her away from her mother and her siblings. She was found when she was just month and a half old. The vet that examined her said that there is a possibility that she can use her leg if we give her supplements and daily massage. She is still using her front leg, trying to lean on it and also to clean herself with it. Despite her front leg injury, she does everything that a normal cat does. She can climb, jump, open house doors. She is an independent cat that learns very fast and is toilet trained. Dua is very gentle and loves being petted. She purrs very loudly and loves to sleep with her foster mom and her best friend, the dog Hannah. But also loves being independent, to wander around the house and tease the other cats. She initiates playing and engages the older cats into the play. Dua is looking for a home where she can be loved and cared for. A home where she can feel safe, where she can continue her life with a family that would accept her as she is and will understand the needs of a cat with her condition. Dua is vaccinated, microchipped and will be spayed when time comes, she is a completely healthy little girl.

About Dua

What life with Dua looks like

Dua is a small young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Blind Dog Rescue UK 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 Dua, answered.

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