Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 5 months

Ellie Meet Ellie our sweet black and white girl with the cutest pinky nose! Ellie arrived into our care back in May as part of a very special little family, alongside her mummy Lila, daddy Jack, brother Elroy, sister Eloise and their auntie. Now around 18–20 weeks old, Ellie is still waiting patiently for her forever family to come along. 🥰 Ellie is a sweet, gentle and quieter-natured little girl. She can be a little shy when meeting new people but once she feels comfortable and settled, she comes out of her shell and enjoys some lovely gentle pets and a little fuss. 🤍 She is often found curled up beside one of her family members, enjoying a cosy cuddle and the comfort of having her feline family close by. She also loves her kitten fun, whether that’s playing with her toys, exploring her cat tree or enjoying some catnip. 🐾 Ellie is also a major foodie! She gets very excited when she knows breakfast or dinner is arriving, and along with Eloise and Elroy, she is more than happy to make her feelings known with a little chorus of hungry kitten voices. 🍗😹 Having grown up alongside her family, Ellie would thrive best in a home with one of her siblings or her mummy or daddy, or alongside another young, playful and friendly kitten or cat. We think having a feline companion to snuggle up with and grow alongside would be best for her wellbeing and growth. Ellie has such a lovely, gentle personality, and we know she’ll continue to blossom as she settles into a home of her own. 🏡🐾

About Ellie

What life with Ellie looks like

Ellie is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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 Ireland

Irish shelters require a home check (often phone or video) and an adoption contract. Animals are vaccinated, chipped, and registered. Cross-border placements to mainland Europe require the rabies titer test (TRACES system).

Frequently asked

Adopting Ellie, answered.

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