Matcha

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Kitten · 8 months

Matcha was admitted into our care after she was found alone with her two kittens. Only a young kitten herself, sadly her two little kittens did not make it. Thankfully, after spending some time with our Animal Care Team Matcha has settled well, and is now ready to find a loving forever home of her own. Matcha is a gentle and quiet-natured cat who enjoys the simple things in life. She loves curling up in a cosy bed for a snooze and watching the world go by. While she can be a little reserved when meeting new people, once she has had time to build her confidence, she is incredibly affectionate and enjoys human company, fuss, and cuddles. She is looking for a calm, settled home where she can take things at her own pace and continue to come out of her shell. A patient family who can provide plenty of comfortable spots to relax and lots of love will help her truly flourish. She could live with older children, over the age of 13 years. We are unsure how Matcha would react to other pets in the home, but she may be able to live with another friendly cat or a calm, cat-friendly dog, subject to careful introductions.

About Matcha

What life with Matcha looks like

Matcha is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at USPCA.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇮🇪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 Matcha, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Matcha?
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 Matcha on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Matcha 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 Matcha 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 Matcha 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 Matcha 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.
