Mixed Breed · Male

Otis STRICTLY INDOOR ONLY Meet Otis, our lovely gentle boy. Otis arrived with our big intake of 62 and has shown us what a settled and gentle boy he is. Otis is a very gentle and quiet lad who enjoys taking things at his own pace. He’s happiest curled up on a cosy blanket or sprawled out on a comfy bed watching the world go by. He particularly enjoys the company of quieter, settled cats he arrived with who are happy to cuddle up together and enjoy a peaceful snooze. 🥰 Otis is also a very enthusiastic foodie and certainly won’t be saying no when it’s mealtime! 😂❤️ This lovely boy hasn’t had the easiest start in life, and we would absolutely love to see him find the loving forever home he deserves. A home where he can be pampered, showered with affection and finally know what it’s like to be truly cherished as part of a family. Otis is such a gentle soul and we know he has so much love to give. All he needs now is someone to give him the chance to show them just how special he is. 🐾 Could you be the family Otis has been waiting for? ❤️

About Otis

What life with Otis looks like

Otis is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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 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 Otis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Otis?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Otis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Otis if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Otis 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 Otis 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 Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Otis 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.
