Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

Adopt a Cat ‘Lizzie’ 49 Views We were called out to this little elderly girl in very poor condition. Every effort had been made by this very kind couple to try and trace an owner to no avail. Door knocking / flyers / Posters / Lost and Found pages / taken to a Vet to be scanned for a microchip and checked over – just how far does someone need to go to try to trace an owner, when the owner should be going out of their way to trace THEIR cat ??? No microchip needless to say, which carries a £500 fine if not remedied within 21 days. She was very dehydrated – weighed just over 2.5kg – racing heart almost too fast to count and anaemia. Full bloods were done and she was hyperthyroid as was suspected. Having been on treatment her levels are nack to normal and she remains on the medication. We are looking for a Foster Home For Life for ‘Lizzie’ – you are very welcome to contact us so we can explain how this works. You can ring anytime on 521778 / 662 – please do leave a message with your phone number if I miss your call. ‘Lizzie’ looks forward to meeting y 3ou x 9 Share on Facebook

About Lizzie

What life with Lizzie looks like

Lizzie is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Feline Welfare (Isle of Wight) 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 Lizzie, answered.

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