Izzy

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Meet Izzy, a slightly spicy girl who’s taking her time to trust humans. When Izzy arrived with us, she had her 5 young kittens by her side and wasn’t the biggest fan of any human interaction. When staff we to to check one her and the babies, we were often met with hissing but no aggression. She just clearly wasn’t a happy girl! We swiftly got Izzy and her 5 babies into a loving foster home to start learning to trust us. The kittens have blossomed into lovely young cats, and mum has started to understand that not all humans are scary. Whilst she’s not very fond of too much human interaction just yet, once in a home we feel she will start to settle more. But her new home needs to understand she may never be the perfect lap cat, and may be more of an independent girl. Due to being a stray, Izzy will need outdoor access in her new home, so she can come & go from the home as she pleases If you’re looking for a feline companion thats happy just being around you and not always wanting human contact, Izzy ight be just who you’ve been looking for

About Izzy

What life with Izzy looks like

Izzy 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 Izzy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Izzy?
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 Izzy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Izzy 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Izzy 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 Izzy 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 Izzy 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.
