Adopt Nollaig

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

This is the wonderful mother of the kittens found in the lobster pot on Christmas Day. Even though she was freezing and starving, she fed her little kittens and kept them alive! She reared them so well, and they are all well settled in their forever homes. Now it's mother's turn! She has finally put on some weight and was recently spayed, and has blossomed into an adorable, loving cat. She has wonderful whiskers!! I feel she will be better off on her own after all she has gone through. She is so clean and deserves a kind, caring home. Contact us on . Thanks!

About Nollaig

What life with Nollaig looks like

Nollaig is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Renvyle Cat and Dog Rescue in Galway.

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 Nollaig, answered.

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