Adopt Smudge

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

Smudge is a beautiful 12-year-old housecat who is looking for a new forever home through no fault of her own. This lovely girl has spent her life as a pampered indoor companion and is ready to bring warmth, comfort, and companionship to someone special. Smudge is the perfect companion for someone looking for a quieter, more relaxed feline friend. She enjoys cosy spots, gentle strokes, and simply being near her people. At her age, she has a wonderful, settled temperament and would thrive in a peaceful home where she can feel safe and loved. Senior cats like Smudge have so much love to give-they’re often overlooked, but they make the most loyal and rewarding companions. Smudge would need kept as an indoor cat and would be best suited to an adult only home, or one with older teenagers as she would prefer a calm environment. She will need to be the only pet in the home. If you think you could offer Smudge the safe, cosy home she deserves, please get in touch. Even sharing her story could help her find the perfect match.

About Smudge

What life with Smudge looks like

Smudge is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Assisi Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

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 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Smudge, answered.

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