Squash

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Squash entered our care as a young kitten alongside his sibling. After receiving treatment from our veterinary team, he is now ready to find himself a new home! Squash is a sweet little soul with a big personality! This handsome boy is full of fun and loves nothing more than chasing after his favourite toys and playing with his kitten friends. Once playtime is over he is more than happy to enjoy some head and chin scratches, he will happily roll around for fuss and attention, soaking up all the cuddles. Squash could live with children of any age who are used to cats and are happy to give him the time and space he needs to settle into his new home. As he was admitted as a stray, it is unknown how he would react to other pets in the home but may be able to share his home with other cats and dogs, following appropriate and gradual introductions.

About Squash

What life with Squash looks like

Squash is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at USPCA.

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 Squash, answered.

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