Please read our Homing Criteria BEFORE applying for any of our Cats.BREED: Cat, Domestic Short HairSEX: Male (Neutered)AGE: Aprox. 1.5 YearsBlackie has sadly come to us because he is being aggressive towards the young child in the home. He's been fine with the adults, but is not keen on the kid. For this reason we are obviously looking for an adult only household for him. He hasn't been neutered which will not have helped, but this will be sorted before he leaves the rescue.Please fill in our Application Form if you are interested in adopting this catIf the animal’s name does not appear in the drop down box on the form - it means the animal is already reserved

About BLACKIE

What life with BLACKIE looks like

BLACKIE is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at DBARC Animal Rescue Centre 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 BLACKIE, answered.

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