George is looking for a home to retire

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 16 years

George was found in the act of a desperate attempt to pull some food out of a rubbish bag in an alley behind a row of shops. George was friendly but extremely scruffy and emaciated. After a thorough examination and tests, George was diagnosed with kidney disease, a very sensitive tummy, and age-related arthritis. It also became immediately apparent that George is a girl! George is probably around 16 years old and other than being really loving and affectionate she is quite a character – assertive, intelligent and at times quite suborn. She does not like other cats and is a very fussy eater (Whiskas only!). She is looking for an indoor retirement home as an only cat. She loves people but no other felines! George will make a wonderful companion to someone who is at home most of the time and has the means to get her to the vets for check-ups on a regular basis. Her CKD (chronic kidney disease) will worsen slowly. She might require Subcutaneous (SQ) fluid administration therapy in the future and her new owner must be happy to learn how to do this at home.

Frequently asked

Adopting George is looking for a home to retire, answered.

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