Maggie-May

Persian · Female · Senior · 13 years

Wake Up, Maggie! Your Forever Home is Waiting! 🎵Maggie-May, I got something to say to you… specifically, that this lovely golden-oldie is ready to steal your heart!You won’t need to lead her away from home—in fact, Maggie-May is looking for a quiet, cozy place where she can kick back, enjoy her favorite home comforts, and be truly cherished. She might be an older lady, but she’s certainly not a heavy weight—just a gentle, sweet soul who loves human company once she feels secure.Her favorite pastime? She’s not demanding; her absolute top priority is being snuggled up comfortably in bed, watching the world go by. She can be a little bit shy when meeting new backup singers (people), but it doesn’t take long for her sweet nature to shine through and soak up all the loving fuss and attention you have to offer.Her Tour Requirements:Solo Artist Only: Maggie-May insists on being the Queen of the Castle! She needs to be the only pet in the home (no other cats, and definitely no dogs allowed to steal her spotlight).VIP Lounge: A peaceful retirement environment where she can settle at her own pace (adults-only or a family with gentle teenagers).Backstage Access: Safe outdoor access (a secure garden away from busy roads) so she can pop outside for fresh air when the mood strikes.What Maggie-May brings to the setlist: A low-maintenance, loving companion, chart-topping purrs, endless gratitude, and the ultimate lap-cat for quiet evenings.The morning sun really shows her age… and how gorgeous she is! Could your home be Maggie-May's perfect encore?

About Maggie-May

What life with Maggie-May looks like

Maggie-May is a senior persian cat waiting at RSPCA Cornwall Branch in Saint Columb.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇧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 Maggie-May, answered.

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