Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Hugo, Paloma and Rita 🐾 Meet Hugo, Paloma & Rita 🐾 Hugo, Paloma and Rita came into Almost Home’s care back in June and headed into foster shortly afterwards. Now around six months old, these three little darlings are full of love, fun and personality. They each have their own little quirks, but one thing they all share is just how much they adore one another. ❤️ Hugo Our handsome Hugo is the confident lad of the trio who loves to be right in the middle of everything. He’s playful, affectionate and a BIG foodie. If he thinks dinner is on the way, you’ll hear him chirping away to let you know he’s ready! He loves a cuddle, a good fuss and, most importantly, a nose boop. He’s also a big fan of catnip, which makes playtime even more entertaining! But above all, Hugo loves his girls, Paloma and Rita, and is happiest with them by his side. 🥹 Rita Our little pocket rocket! Rita is a tiny girl with a huge personality and absolutely no concept of personal space. She’s a little purring machine who loves affection and wants to be involved in absolutely everything. Her particular specialities? Inspecting your jewellery and helping you do your hair! You won’t get much personal grooming done without a tiny assistant investigating your earrings or supervising your hairstyling. 😂 She’s a loving, inquisitive little soul who loves to play, loves her food and adores her two best friends. She can be a little more reserved without Hugo and Paloma there to give her confidence. Paloma Our beautiful little calico has blossomed since arriving in foster care. She took a little time to come out of her shell, but once she trusts you, she’s the sweetest little companion who loves sitting beside you for strokes and affection. She may be a little shy in a new environment, so she’ll need someone willing to give her time to settle and show her lovely personality. Her two greatest loves? Licky Lix and chasing her own tail! 😂 She’s a precious little girl with so much love to give.🥰 These three share a really lovely bond. They play together, find comfort in one another and give each other confidence, especially when experiencing something new. In an ideal world, we would absolutely love to see them find a home together, where they can continue growing up side by side. We know that finding a home for all three is a big ask, though, and our biggest wish is simply to see each of them settled into a loving home. If the right home came along for two, or for one individually, we would certainly consider that too, provided they had a suitable young, friendly and playful feline companion to share their adventures with. These little ones really do enjoy having a friend by their side. ❤️ A little note from their foster mummy 🐾 Hugo, Paloma and Rita are the kind of kittens who make you fall in love with all their little quirks, from Hugo’s happy chirps and nose boops, to Rita’s hairstyling and Paloma’s endless tail chasing. They’re funny, affectionate, playful little souls who bring so much joy. They each have so much love to give, and deserve forever homes filled with cuddles, playtime, little adventures and all the happiness their hearts could wish for. They really are three very special little kittens. ❤️

About Hugo, Paloma & Rita

What life with Hugo, Paloma & Rita looks like

Hugo, Paloma & Rita is a very small kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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).

Frequently asked

Adopting Hugo, Paloma & Rita, answered.

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