Adopt Kitsune

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 2 years

Kitsune is a very handsome boy who is ready to start the search for his forever home. Kitsune has been in our care since February, he is truly a special boy who is currently thriving in his foster home, showing how sweet and gentle he really is. Kitsune has been diagnosed with asthma and will need to remain on long-term medication, he takes this in his stride and is looking for a relaxed, quiet indoor only home. When first settling into his foster home he was very nervous and liked to have somewhere he could hide away so that he felt safe and secure. He has settled really well into his foster home now but can still run at new, loud or unexpected noises. Kitsune is a very affectionate boy who loves to be around humans, he enjoys playtime, interacting with his toys and he loves the late evening sun, where he likes to lie up, sun bathe and take a little nap! Kitsune would be best suited in a settled home with children over the age of 10 years who are used to cats. It is unknown how he would interact with other pets in the home.

About Kitsune

What life with Kitsune looks like

Kitsune is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at USPCA.

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 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 Kitsune, answered.

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