Lucy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

My name is Lucy and I need my new home! Available: From 21 October 2026 DOB: Unknown, approximately 2 years old I came into rescue because my owner was sadly unable to keep me. I arrived with my 7 beautiful and boisterous kittens, so life has been pretty busy since they were born! I’ve done a wonderful job raising my babies, and now it’s time for me to enjoy some peace, quiet and attention of my own. I deserve a home where I can relax, be thoroughly spoilt and enjoy being someone’s special girl. I’m just the friendliest cat! I absolutely love head bumps and human company. I’m also a very keen worker, so if you need an extra member of staff, I’m your girl! However, my terms and conditions include plenty of cuddles, lots of attention and regular chat time. I’m now ready to leave the busy mum life behind and find a loving home where I can enjoy all the fuss and affection I deserve. Can I live with other cats? Yes. With a slow introduction Can I live with dogs? Untested Can I live with children? Yes Can I live indoors or outdoors? Either Minimum Adoption Donation: £100

About Lucy

What life with Lucy looks like

Lucy is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Heronbank Cat Rescue 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 Lucy, answered.

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