Elmer

Mixed Breed · Male

Elmer STRICTLY INDOOR ONLY HOME Meet Elmer, our stunning black boy and absolute sweetheart! Elmer arrived with our big intake of 62 and has taken to cattery life amazingly well. It didn’t take him long to settle in and show us what a wonderful character he really is. Elmer is such a loving lad who absolutely adores his people. He loves nothing more than a cuddle, plenty of pets and all the affection he can get. 🥰 He is also a BIG foodie and is particularly enthusiastic when there’s chicken or tuna on the menu! In fact, when he knows something tasty is coming, he often lets out the sweetest little excitement squeak. 🥹 Our lovely Elmer really is such a character. He has a wonderful balance of being affectionate, playful and full of personality, making him the kind of cat who will quickly become a much-loved part of the family. We think Elmer would make an amazing companion for someone looking for a loving best friend, or a fantastic addition to a family. He has so much love to give and is ready to find the people who will adore him as much as we do. ❤️ Could Elmer be the handsome boy you've been waiting for? 🐾

About Elmer

What life with Elmer looks like

Elmer is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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 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 Elmer, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elmer?
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 Elmer on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elmer 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Elmer 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 Elmer 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 Elmer 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.
