Adopt Roo & Joey

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Roo is a lovely young mum who is looking for a home with her son Joey. They were handed in to a vet by their owner who just didn’t want them, so they are looking for a family who will truly love them. They would be fine to live with sensible children over the age of 5 yrs. A safe garden away from any busy roads is essential so that they can enjoy exploring their surroundings once they are settled.

About Roo & Joey

What life with Roo & Joey looks like

Roo & Joey is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Animals In Need Northants 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Roo & Joey, answered.

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