Purdy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Meet Purdy Purdy is looking for a new home since her owner sadly died last year. We did find her a great home but sadly she would not tolerate the resident cat. She is 12 years old and very affectionate & loves to sleep in cardboard boxes. Purdy needs to be the only cat in the home. If you can offer Purdy a loving home where she can rest in her forever place please get in touch.

About Purdy

What life with Purdy looks like

Purdy is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at East Lancashire Cats in United Kingdom.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇧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 Purdy, answered.

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