How do I contact the shelter about Rosaline?

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

Can I adopt Rosaline if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — National Animal Welfare Trust 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 Rosaline 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 Rosaline 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 National Animal Welfare Trust early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rosaline 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.

Rosaline

Russian Blue · Female · Young · 1 year

Hello... my name is Rosaline, and I'd love a second chance.I don't remember doing anything wrong, but somehow I found myself left outside a Pets at Home, all alone. I was frightened, confused, and didn't know who to trust. When the rescue took me in, I was so scared that I just wanted to hide away from the world.Thankfully, one of the lovely people who works here offered me a foster home, and for the first time in a long while, I could finally start to feel safe. It took me a little while to come out of my shell, but with patience, kindness, and lots of quiet reassurance, I've discovered that people can actually be pretty wonderful.These days, I'm doing really, really well. I still appreciate a few good hiding spots around the house, they're my little safe places, but I'm becoming braver every day. Once I've settled in, I love having my own humans to spend time with, and I'll happily accept a bit of fuss and attention. In fact, now that I've realised what love feels like, I rather like the idea of having it all to myself.I'm also a big fan of the important things in life: climbing to the highest spot on my cat tree, tucking into a tasty meal, and finding the perfect cosy place for an afternoon nap.Because I've had such a difficult start, I'm looking for a calm, understanding home where I can continue to grow in confidence. A home without children would suit me best, as I can still be a little timid. I'm currently in foster with some dogs and I'm slowly learning they're not all that scary, but I'd probably be happiest without them or with very very calm, respectful ones. And after everything I've been through, I think I'd quite like to be the only cat in the home, soaking up all the love and attention for myself.I may not be the kind of cat who rushes over to greet you on day one. But if you can offer me patience, a few cosy hiding places, and a quiet home where I can truly belong, I promise I'll keep finding the courage to show you just what a sweet little soul I am.I've already learned that life can get better. Now I'm just waiting for the family who'll prove it to me forever.

About Rosaline

What life with Rosaline looks like

Rosaline is a large young adult russian blue cat waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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.
