About Eclipse

What life with Eclipse looks like

Eclipse is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Cats in Distress 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 "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Cats in Distress 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?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Cats in Distress whether they will for Eclipse, what they require (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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Eclipse already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Eclipse. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Cats in Distress, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Eclipse isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Cats in Distress about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
