Purdy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 17 years

17 year old dark tortie female, one lady owner. Purdy came to us via social services as her owner was being placed in a home. As we had no medical history for her, Purdy has had a full vet examination, blood tests and a scale and polish performed on her teeth. For a 17 year old cat, she is in great shape with no current health issues. Her kidneys are working fairly well at the moment but will she will need a blood test in six months to see how they are then. Pussycat lodge will pay for this and for any special food that may be prescribed to help her kidneys in the future. She is sociable and chatty, happy to lie alongside you on a sofa, but not too keen on being picked up. Due to her age, she would like a quiet, indoor home to spend her last years being treated like the princess she deserves to be. *Quiet indoor home *Not dog tested *Only cat *No young children Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flead. Please ring Andrea on Monday to Saturday ONLY 9am to 6pm and leave a message with your FULL address.

About Purdy

What life with Purdy looks like

Purdy is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Pussycat Lodge 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. Pussycat Lodge 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 — Pussycat Lodge 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 Pussycat Lodge 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.
