Elroy

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 5 months

Elroy Meet Leroy our handsome black and white boy. Elroy arrived into our care back in May as part of a very special little family, alongside his mummy Lila, daddy Jack, sisters Ellie and Eloise, and their auntie. Now around 18–20 weeks old, Elroy is still very much a kitten and is waiting patiently for his forever family to come along. 🥰 Elroy is an inquisitive, sweet and gentle boy who loves to know exactly what’s going on around him. He’s always ready to investigate something new and can often be found exploring his surroundings or seeing what his siblings are getting up to. 👀🐾 He also enjoys some gentle pets and a good fuss, making him a lovely balance of playful kitten and affectionate companion. Once playtime begins, Elroy is more than happy to get involved! He loves his toys, cat tree and catnip, and having his siblings around means there’s always someone ready for a game. When the excitement is over, Elroy is just as happy curling up with his family for a cosy nap. He really enjoys having his feline family around him, and it’s lovely to see the three siblings all snuggled up together. And if there’s one thing Elroy takes very seriously, it’s food! He’s a proper little foodie and gets very excited when breakfast or dinner is arriving. Alongside Ellie and Eloise, he has perfected the art of the enthusiastic food-time chorus! 😹 Having grown up alongside his family, Elroy would thrive best in a home with one of his siblings or another family member, or alongside another young, playful and friendly kitten or cat. We’d love for him to have a feline companion to play with, grow alongside and curl up with. Elroy is such a lovely, curious little boy, and we can’t wait to see him continue growing into the wonderful companion we know he’ll become. He deserves a family ready for all the fun, affection and kitten adventures he has to offer. 🏡❤️

About Elroy

What life with Elroy looks like

Elroy 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 Elroy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elroy?: 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 Elroy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elroy 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 Elroy 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 Elroy 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 Elroy 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.
