Piglet

Mixed Breed · Male

Meet Piglet.! She is a charming, funny, confident little girl with a big personality. She is playful and adventurous, and holds her own with big cats and dogs alike! She is playful and spends a lot of time running through her tunnel, chasing the other cats, and attacking her toys. When she’s not playing, she loves to cuddle up with the dog for a good nap 💤 Piglet does make a bit of noise when she breathes at times, this noise has been investigated by the vet and doesn’t cause her any problems or slow her down. Piglet would best suit a home with another cat or cat-friendly dog, and better still another young cat to play with! She hasn’t been around children but is very friendly and playful as well as confident, so a home with older kids would be suitable as well. She has been kept indoors so an indoor home is preferred, and an indoor/outdoor arrangement in a safe and quiet area will be considered. Piglet is fully vaccinated, wormed, neutered, and microchipped, and is litter trained. The most important thing is that she is adored for the special little lady she is, she will bring a lot of joy and laughter to her new family ❤️ Cat Adoption Application DAFM No KPT 200001C

About Piglet

What life with Piglet looks like

Piglet is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Laois SPCA in Portlaoise, Co. Laois.

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 Piglet, answered.

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