Mort

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 2 years

Meet Mort! 🐾 Mort is a whirlwind of energy, personality and an absolutely enormous appetite and we can’t wait to find this very special boy his forever home! In the last 7 years at ACGAS, Mort is quite possibly one of the most ravenous cats we have ever met! This boy is a true foodie, and we believe his incredible appetite is largely down to his difficult start in life. Mort came into our care as a starving stray, so weak that he could barely stand. Thankfully, he has made huge improvements since arriving with us and has really started to perk up, but he still has some way to go. He is currently working on building up the muscle mass in his back legs, which means he isn’t yet able to jump and climb like a typical cat. We’re hopeful that, with time, good nutrition and plenty of TLC, he will continue to grow stronger. Mort absolutely loves a fuss, but in true Mort fashion, food comes first! He is quite simply everywhere in the cattery. Nothing is safe from this determined little food detective. Bins? He’ll investigate them. Biscuit buckets? He’ll tip them over. Drinks? They’re fair game too! If there’s even the slightest possibility that something might contain food, Mort will be there, determined to find it. His food obsession is quite something, before coming into ACGAS, Mort was even known to have eaten an entire Mars bar! This boy really will eat anything he can get his paws on. Because of this, Mort’s adopters will need to fully understand his personality and be prepared for a high energy, food obsessed character who will keep them on their toes! He will need a home where his food obsession can be carefully managed and where his adopters are happy to embrace all the quirks that make Mort, well… Mort! We’re hoping that as Mort continues to recover, reaches a healthy weight and rebuilds his strength, his appetite will eventually start to settle down. For now, though, he is very much on a mission to find his next meal! Despite his chaotic antics, Mort is a lovely, affectionate boy who has already shown us just how much personality he has. We are determined to find him the right home where he can continue to flourish, grow stronger and finally enjoy the happy life he deserves. If you think you could keep up with Mort’s energy, his enormous appetite and his larger than life personality, he could be the boy for you! ❤️

About Mort

What life with Mort looks like

Mort is an extra-large young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at All Creatures Great & Small Animal Sanctuary 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 Mort, answered.

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