Nola

Ragdoll · Female · Senior · 12 years

Hello, I’m Nola, a lovely older lady of around 12 years old, and I arrived in rescue alongside my friend Gloria.We’ve spent a lot of time together and we do get along, but we’re both independent girls who appreciate having plenty of our own space. We could find our retirement home together or separately, what matters most is finding somewhere peaceful where we can truly relax.I can be a little reserved when I first meet new people, and I definitely know my own mind! Give me some time to get to know you, though, and you’ll discover that I’m actually a very sweet girl underneath my slightly nonchalant exterior.At this stage in my life, I’m looking for the quiet life. I’d like an adult-only home with no children, dogs or other cats, where I can settle in at my own pace and enjoy all the comforts I deserve.If you’ve got a peaceful home, plenty of space and room in your heart for a sweet senior lady, I’d love to meet you.

Sponsor me and my friends to ensure I am safe and warm until I find a family to call my own.

About Nola

What life with Nola looks like

Nola is a senior ragdoll cat waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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 Nola, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nola?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. National Animal Welfare Trust handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nola on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nola if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — National Animal Welfare Trust 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Nola 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 Nola 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 National Animal Welfare Trust early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nola 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.
