Adopt Eclipse

Mixed Breed Cat · Male

Eclipse is a sweet and loving cat, with a loud and brilliant purr. He will occasionally sit on a lap and sleeps next to his owner in bed. He would benefit from being part of a loving home, having somewhere cosy to sleep with humans who enjoy interaction but aren’t worried if he is out all day – he is a great hunter. Unfortunately, after 4 years, his owner accepted he isn’t cut out for residential. Eclipse has found himself locked in the church hall and is visiting neighbours’ houses against their will. Because of this, Eclipse is looking for somewhere more rural, with people to befriend (as he loves people) but without so many houses to explore and neighbours to upset. Having clear boundaries would be helpful . He is not good with other cats and children. He is a very well behaved cat in the home- never jumping on the table or work top, and always using his scratching post. He is a clear communicator, he twitches his ears if he doesn’t like something, and he can swipe after this if you continue, but never causes major damage. Please contact us so we can put you in touch will Eclipse’s owner if you are interested in adopting him!

About Eclipse

What life with Eclipse looks like

Eclipse is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Compassion for Cats, Oakhill CIO 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 Eclipse, answered.

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