Adopt Ellen

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Ellen arrived at the sanctuary with her five kittens after her human companion was no longer able to care for her. Having newborns, Ellen stayed at one of our foster homes for the last 9 weeks, and she's been a delight. She's great!! She's loving, she's confident and no matter what, she will bring a smile to your face. Ellen has been a great mum, but now it’s time for them to fly the nest and for her to find a loving home. Food is the way to her heart. Try opening a packet of Dreamies quietly, and she’ll show you how great her hearing is!! And when she's not thinking about food, she's either wanting to play or to cuddle up with her favourite human, which could be you!

About Ellen

What life with Ellen looks like

Ellen is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧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 Ellen, answered.

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