How do I contact the shelter about Gloria?

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 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 — 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. 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 Laois SPCA 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.

Gloria

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

If you’re scared of spiders meet Gloria. 🐾 Glorious Gloria, a 5-month-old tortoiseshell girl with a delicate little frame, a curious mind and a surprisingly fierce side! We were a little puzzled when we kept finding spiders from every corner of the house lying mysteriously dry on the floor. The mystery has been solved. It’s Gloria! 😂 This girl will bravely take on anything that dares to cross her path. Your very own tiny bodyguard! But behind that fearless spider-slaying exterior is a sweet little kitten who is still learning that humans can be trusted. Gloria is what we lovingly call a project cat – a girl who needs a little extra time, patience and understanding to feel safe. And guess what? She’s already making wonderful progress! Just today, we heard her first little meow asking for attention. 🥹 A sound we hadn’t heard at all before she came into our care. That’s a huge milestone for our girl, and proof that she’s learning every single day. Curiosity? Gloria has it in abundance! If curiosity had a face, it would be the one in her photos. Everything is a potential toy, every corner holds a new adventure, and life is simply too exciting to sit still. She’s still a little unsure about being picked up, but she’s making progress at her own pace. With a patient, loving family who will let her blossom on her own terms, we believe Gloria has so much love and personality waiting to emerge. And the best part? Gloria comes as a complete package! She’s spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and wormed. All those big vet bills? Already taken care of! ✅ Gloria isn’t looking for perfection. She’s looking for someone willing to see the wonderful little cat she is becoming. Could you be the special person to help Glorious Gloria write her happily ever after? ❤️ 📩 Get in touch with us to find out more about adopting Gloria. Cat Adoption Application DAFM No KPT 200001C

About Gloria

What life with Gloria looks like

Gloria is a very small puppy/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).
