EbonyDSH BlackFemale 1-2 YearsEbony is a sweet girl who has came round so well during her time at the sanctuary! When she first arrived she was very shy and nervous around humans, but now she will happily approach you and loves getting her chin scratched. She arrived with her 5 kittens, who have been homed (apart from her & Katsu). Now it’s her turn! She hasn’t been around dogs before, but dogs barking don’t seem to put her off. She would be good around children who have a sensible and quiet approach to cats.AN APPLICATION FORM MUST BE COMPLETED TO BE CONSIDEREDWe are open Wednesdays and Saturdays from .If you are interested in offering this cat a home and you meet the criteria listed, then please click on the following link to complete an online application or visit us during the above days and times.If you are being considered, we will be in touch to arrange an appointment for you to meet the cat and start the rehoming process.All parts of the form must be completed to ensure your application can be processedIf you are being considered to commence the adoption process you will receive a call from a number ending in 081 or 993; due to time constraints there will be a limited timescale to answer or respond to our message.

About Ebony

What life with Ebony looks like

Ebony is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Mid Antrim Animal Sanctuary in Belfast.

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 Ebony, answered.

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