Dolly

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Beautiful Dolly is just under a year old and is ready to find a family of her own. She is a very sweet, affectionate girl who loves human company and will make a wonderful companion. Dolly would be best suited to a home with older children (ideally 8 years and over) who can understand and respect her gentle nature. She is looking for a home where she can live comfortably indoors but also have the freedom to explore outdoors when she chooses. Dolly has been spayed and is now ready to start the next chapter of her life with a loving family who will cherish her. 💕 Just under 1 year old 💕 Spayed 💕 Sweet and loving nature 💕 Best suited to children aged 8+ 💕 Indoor home with outdoor access preferred

About Dolly

What life with Dolly looks like

Dolly is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Mayo SPCA in F35 A008.

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 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 Dolly, answered.

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