Jude

Abyssinian · Male

Jude is a confident and friendly guinea pig that loves his food and will let you know that he would like more veg. He is a vocal and extremely friendly guinea pig, he also has a big personality. Jude is looking for a big enclosure to share with another male guinea pig. As guinea pigs love to live in bonded pairs or small groups, we do not rehome lone guinea pigs unless we have deemed it appropriate on welfare grounds. Please note that the minimum accommodation size for a pair of male guinea pigs is 6ft long by 2ft deep (182cm x 61cm). Pictures of accommodation will be asked for upon application.

About Jude

What life with Jude looks like

Jude is a large adult abyssinian cat waiting at Cheltenham Animal Shelter (GAWA) 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 Jude, answered.

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