About Skipper
What life with Skipper looks like
Skipper is a medium-sized young adult cat waiting at Clare Animal Welfare in Feakle.
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 โ every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.
๐ฎ๐ชAdopting 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 Skipper, answered.
- How do I contact the shelter about Skipper?
- Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Clare Animal Welfare handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Skipper on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
- Can I adopt Skipper if I live in another country?
- Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ Clare Animal Welfare 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
- Is Skipper 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 โ ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
- What happens if Skipper isn't the right fit?
- Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Clare Animal Welfare early rather than rehoming privately; they know Skipper 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 โ 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.
