Gloria

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Gloria came into our care as a pregnant stray and, after settling into the safety and comfort of a wonderful foster home, she welcomed her babies and has been the most devoted mum, raising them until they were ready to spread their little paws! Now her mothering duties are over, it’s Gloria’s turn to find a loving forever home of her very own. 🏡 You may notice that Gloria’s face has a little yellow staining around her eye. Don’t worry, there’s a perfectly simple explanation! Gloria has a blocked tear duct, which means her tears overflow rather than draining down her nose as they normally would. The yellow staining is simply from the dye used by the vets when checking her eye. The good news is that this doesn’t cause Gloria any discomfort or issues at all, although she may get the occasional little eye booger! Gloria has done a wonderful job raising her babies, and now we’d love nothing more than to see her enjoy the next chapter of her life being someone’s much-loved companion. Could you be the special person she’s been waiting for? ❤️

About Gloria

What life with Gloria looks like

Gloria is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary 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 Gloria, answered.

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