Matilda

Mixed Breed · Female

Everyone meet Matilda ❤️ If you’re looking for a small pet with a huge personality, then let us introduce you to the wonderful Matilda. Matilda is quite simply a darling. She is one of the friendliest little hamsters you could ever hope to meet and absolutely adores human attention. While many hamsters prefer to keep themselves to themselves, Matilda loves being involved in whatever is going on and thrives on spending time with her people. In Matilda’s eyes, life is all about being treated like the princess she knows she is! Whether she’s being carried about, enjoying some fuss and attention, or tucking into her favourite treats, she’s happiest when she’s part of the action. She has such a lovely, affectionate nature and is incredibly easy to fall in love with. Her confidence and friendliness make her a fantastic little companion, especially for someone looking for a hamster who genuinely enjoys interacting with people. Matilda also has a large cage which can come with her if required, helping make the transition into her new home as smooth as possible. She may be small, but she has a massive heart and so much love to give. If you’re looking for a friendly, gentle and entertaining little pet who will brighten your day every time you see her, Matilda could be the perfect match. Could this tiny princess be the newest member of your family? 🐹❤️

About Matilda

What life with Matilda looks like

Matilda is a very small adult mixed breed animal waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Matilda far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇮🇪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 Matilda, answered.

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