Norman and Elma

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

Norman and Elma have settled into foster beautifully and are using their litter trays purrfectly 🙂 They were terribly stressed by two toddlers in the house sadly and were weeing and pooing everywhere. “Norman is a very affectionate cat, he can be slightly timid with new people but once he knows you he loves to sit on your lap to sleep. He’ll often stand on his back legs and do cute paws to get your attention. He loves to sleep in a sunbeam and spends most of the day indoors. He does however sometimes catch mice or rats from the garden in the night! Elma is very very affectionate and does not need to know you to jump straight on your lap for a cuddle. She has been known to sit on the top of the sofa and lick our hair. She wants to be close to whoever is in the house and only really goes outside when we go in to the garden. They love Dreamies, they only have dry food. They would be most happy in a home where they will be given lots of love and affection. They’re used to us being in the house a lot so someone who works from home or is at home a lot would be the best.” This beautiful pair, 3 yrs old, must stay together with no children in their new home, now or in the future. They’d love a catio to keep them safe or a garden away from busy roads, though they are mainly indoor cats by choice. They had their vet check yesterday and all was good, neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance. Please mail us at with your ADDRESS abd CONTACT number for these gorgeous siblings 🙂

About Norman and Elma

What life with Norman and Elma looks like

Norman and Elma is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Bristol and Wales Cat Rescue 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 Norman and Elma, answered.

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