Ophelia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Say hello to our super cute mum of four Ophelia, she came into the sanctuary with her babies after living as a stray in a garden. She is only around 1 year old herself and is really friendly and trusting. Ophelia did a wonderful job of bringing up her babies and always loved to show them off to us, such a proud mummy. She likes to be fussed and being around people, and its now her turn to be looked after, shown lots of love and pampered. Ophelia is a black and white girl and is still very lively and playful, she would make a great companion and playmate for any household. We are hoping to get a great home for Ophelia where she can, play, be fussed and relax with her human/humans. A family home would really suit her with or without children. A couple or single person will be equally considered as we think Ophelia would fit right into most situations. When Ophelia is settled in her new home she will want to venture out and play, her new home will therefore have some safe green areas away from busy or main roads and not near railway lines or canals. Ophelia has now been neutered and microchipped, started on her vaccination course, flead and wormed and of course vet checked. She is ready for the next stage of her life and if she sounds ideal and fits into your circumstances please read our Adoption Policy and then fill out an Application Form. Adoption fee of £100 applies

About Ophelia

What life with Ophelia looks like

Ophelia is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Heatons Cat 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 Ophelia, answered.

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