Ginny and George

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Adult · 4 years

Ginny (R) and George are brother and sister and are to be rehomed together. They were born in June 2023 to a feral farm cat but grew up being used to going in the house and having occasional gentle handling from the owner. They arrived at Windyway in March '24 when the tenant farmer had to move out. They are both nervous but do enjoy a fuss (especially at mealtimes) and will allow vet exams etc without aggression. They need a home where they will be allowed to gain confidence at their own pace. As they came from a very quiet rural area they cannot go to anywhere with lots of passing traffic - ideally another rural/ smallholding type of home where they can be based indoors but have the best of both worlds would suit them best. They have now both been neutered, vaccinated and chipped as well as treated for fleas and worms.

About Ginny and George

What life with Ginny and George looks like

Ginny and George is an adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Windyway Animal Rescue in Macclesfield.

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 Ginny and George, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ginny and George?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Windyway Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ginny and George on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ginny and George if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Windyway Animal 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ginny and George 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 Ginny and George 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 Windyway Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ginny and George 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.
