How do I contact the shelter about Patsy?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Farplace Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Patsy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Patsy if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Farplace Animal 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Patsy 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 Patsy 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 Farplace Animal Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Patsy 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.

Patsy

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Patsy came to us via another rescue in the summer of 2023, along with her two tiny newborn kittens who had been born in a garden. Sadly, one of her kittens didn’t make it, but the other went on to find a lovely home. Patsy is still waiting for hers. Patsy is a very nervous girl, particularly around loud noises and anything unfamiliar, but once she gets to know you and feels safe, she’s a wonderfully friendly and affectionate cat. She absolutely loves being brushed and, when she’s enjoying her cuddles, she’s quite likely to pull you back towards her if you stop before she’s ready! She’s not keen on being picked up or feeling trapped, so she’ll need someone who is happy to let her have her own space and build her confidence at her own pace. Patsy has some very special friendships here at Farplace, particularly with Ryanne and Brandy, and we’d love for her to be able to go to a new home with one of them if possible. She really enjoys having feline company and loves curling up somewhere high in a lovely cosy bed with her friends. With a quiet home, patience and lots of love, Patsy could make a wonderful companion. She’s got a lovely affectionate personality hiding behind that nervous exterior, and we think she’ll really flourish once she feels completely safe. Patsy needs an indoor-only home. A secure catio or enclosed garden would be a lovely bonus, but isn’t essential. As with all of our cats, Patsy will leave Farplace spayed, microchipped and vaccinated, with her flea and worm treatment up to date, and following a full health check. We’ll also provide you with a full copy of her veterinary records to keep for your own records when she goes off to her new home. Indoor-only policy If you feel you could offer this lovely cat the right home, please email for an adoption questionnaire. We can then arrange a home check. We are happy to consider homes up to around two hours’ travel from the rescue. Any further than this can make it difficult for us to offer the support we feel is important after adoption. We hope you understand. Farplace Animal Rescue is based in Weardale, County Durham, DL13 1LE.

About Patsy

What life with Patsy looks like

Patsy is a very small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Farplace Animal 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.
