Gloria

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Senior · 12 years

Hello, I'm gorgeous Gloria.I’m a lovely older lady of around 12 years old, and I came into rescue with my friend Nola. At our age, we’re looking for the good life now, somewhere peaceful, comfortable and with plenty of space where we can relax and enjoy our retirement.Nola and I do like each other, but we’re also independent ladies who appreciate having our own space! Because of this, we could happily find a home together or separately, as long as our new homes are calm and give us time to settle in.I can be a little reserved when I first meet you, and I’m certainly not afraid to have an opinion or two! But underneath that, I’m a very sweet girl, and once I feel comfortable you’ll start to see my softer side.I’m looking for a quiet, adult-only home without children, dogs or other cats. At 12 years young, I think I’ve earned the right to put my paws up and have a peaceful retirement!If you have a calm home, plenty of space and a soft spot for a slightly opinionated older lady, I might just be the girl for you. Please apply today! NAWT Hertfordshire Tylers Way Watford-By-Pass Hertfordshire Watford WD25 8WT Choose an item from our Amazon wish-list and it will come straight to us! Sponsor me and my friends to ensure I am safe and warm until I find a family to call my own.

About Gloria

What life with Gloria looks like

Gloria is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇧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. National Animal Welfare Trust 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 — National Animal Welfare Trust 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 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 National Animal Welfare Trust 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
