RuffnutTuffnut

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 3 months

Meet Ruffnut&Tuffnut. Ruffnut (tortie) and Tuffnut (ginger) are a bonded brother and sister pair about 3 months old. They love snoozing with each other and playing together, whether its a nice bit of tag or full on WWE style 😅 they are both full of energy however Tuffnut is a bit more on the shy side but his sister definitely makes up for it! They get a long brilliantly with their other foster brothers and sisters and they like a nice human cuddle every now and then. If you’d like an energetic, silly addition to your home these two would fit in perfectly! They are getting neutered on the 23rd July and will be fully ready to go to their forever home after that!

About RuffnutTuffnut

What life with RuffnutTuffnut looks like

RuffnutTuffnut is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Laois SPCA in Portlaoise, Co. Laois.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇮🇪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 RuffnutTuffnut, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about RuffnutTuffnut?
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 RuffnutTuffnut on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt RuffnutTuffnut 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is RuffnutTuffnut 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 RuffnutTuffnut 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 RuffnutTuffnut 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.
