Seraphina

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 12 years

Seraphina is a 12 year old cat who has always been a much-loved pet. Unfortunately her elderly owner has been taken into a care home leaving Seraphina with no-one to permanently mind her. We would love to find Seraphina a home where she can live out her old age. She has always been in perfect health and is neutered. Many years ago her ears were surgically trimmed due to ear cancer, but that has never returned thankfully. Seraphina is an indoor cat who is very interactive and clean. She loves to be spoiled and although she has always had access to a safe outdoor garden, she doesn’t usually spend too long out there, preferring the comfort and attention indoors! Anyone kind enough to offer a retirement home to Seraphina, should be prepared to keep her inside the house for at least the first 4 weeks until she knows that this is now her new home.

About Seraphina

What life with Seraphina looks like

Seraphina is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at West Cork Animals in Cork.

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 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 Seraphina, answered.

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