Now she is ready to find a loving forever home where she can enjoy all the comforts she deserves!Eleanor is a sweet and affectionate girl who loves spending time with her people. She enjoys nothing more than curling up in a cosy bed for a snooze and finding a comfy spot to relax while watching the world go by. A lover of home comforts, Eleanor can often be found stretching out in a soft bed or settling down for a peaceful nap after enjoying some fuss and cuddles. While she enjoys human company and affection, she is not particularly fond of being lifted and prefers to keep all four paws on the ground.Eleanor could live with children who have a sensible and gentle approach to cats and understand when she would prefer some space.We are unsure how Eleanor would react to other pets in the home, but she may be able to live with another cat, or cat-friendly dog, with careful introductions.

About Eleanor

What life with Eleanor looks like

Eleanor is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Ulster SPCA in Northern Ireland.

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 Eleanor, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Eleanor?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ulster SPCA handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Eleanor on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Eleanor if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ulster SPCA 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Eleanor 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 Eleanor 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 Ulster SPCA early rather than rehoming privately; they know Eleanor 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.
