Adopt Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 3 months

These 12 week old kittens are ready for their new homes! They were born to a feral mother but we have been spending a lot of time handling them and getting them to approach us with confidence. They are improving but are looking for homes who will continue this encouraging approach. All four are male, Frodo and Sam are the blacker ones, with Merry and Pippin the mainly white ones. They are all vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. They will all need to have a second vaccine administered around mid-June so this is a consideration for anyone looking to take a pair sooner than that. As mentioned, they will need a bit of safe time to settle and calmly get to know their family for the first few weeks. Toys are hugely useful for them throughout this bonding period as are licky treats! All four are using their litter trays well already. We would like these cats to find homes away from a busy road where they can have safe access to the outdoors. An indoor-only home with access to a catio would also be considered.

About Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin

What life with Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin looks like

Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at West Cork Animals in Cork.

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 Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin, answered.

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