Adopt Esme

Mixed Breed Cat · Female

Hello everyone, My sweet name is Esme, I am here to find my forever home. Did you know: I have started to learn how to use a cat wheel, it really helps my brain work hard. My personality: I am a sweet girl who loves to play, I love to play with feathers they are one of my favourites, but I will play with ANYTHING. I always look like I have a sad face but I promise you I am the happiest girl ever. I can be very needy at times and I love to sit on your lap. The humans here just cannot give me enough love… well when I have stopped playing that is! My ideal home: In my new home, I would be happiest being in a home that is active and people are home regularly. I would like to be the only pet and I wouldn’t mind living with children. Access to outdoors: Once I have settled in I would like access to the outdoors, I love to explore and climb. Toileting: I am litter trained, and at the moment I prefer wood pellet litter. My adoption fee is £125

About Esme

What life with Esme looks like

Esme is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Rain Rescue in United Kingdom.

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 Esme, answered.

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