Galaxy

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Gorgeous Galaxy. is a young adult female cat (approximately a year old). After raising multiple litters of kittens in her young life, she’s ready to settle down to a quieter way of being! Galaxy is a sweet girl, she loves a good scratch and loafing about. She is content to be picked up, but isn’t quite a cuddler yet – but she’s perfectly happy to chill out beside you. She is gentle, and gets on fairly well with other cats after an introduction period. She has a playful side too; though most of her young life has been spent as a mammy to kittens, she joins in with them for playtime and shows off – she’s not much more than a kitten herself! She’s very food motivated and sings for her dinner (and breakfast and snacks…), and is a counter surfer – no dish is left unlicked around her! She appears to be afraid of dogs, but she has not been fully tested. She would get on fine in a house with other cats, but enjoys some peace and quiet. Given her gentle nature, she should be fine with children also! Galaxy is spayed, fully vaccinated, and wormed. Cat Adoption Application DAFM No KPT 200001C

About Galaxy

What life with Galaxy looks like

Galaxy is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Laois SPCA in Portlaoise, Co. Laois.

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 Galaxy, answered.

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