Tippy

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 15 years

by Cattery | Jun 24, 2026 | Cats, Female, Liverpool, Cats, Female, Liverpool Tippy has sadly come into our care after her owner passed away and her family were unable to continue with her care. She has been a much loved pet and would love to find a home again. She came to us in a rough shape. She was a bit underweight, had fleas and bad teeth. Her elderly owner had possibly found it difficult to keep up with her care. Thankfully after a few weeks with us she is doing so much better and already looks much healthier. Tippy is a total sweetheart. She loves a head scratch and a cuddle, she is just happy to have some attention and affection. We all love her to bits. She is due her dental in a few weeks and we will run some senior bloods on her to check everything is functioning as it should be. She can live with older sensible children. She has not lived with other cats recently so would prefer a home without any. She would not like to live with a dog. She has lived as an indoor cat so would be happy to continue to do so or could be slowly introduced to a safe outdoor space. Exclusive merchandise available direct from the rescue.

About Tippy

What life with Tippy looks like

Tippy is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Freshfields Animal Rescue in Liverpool.

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 Tippy, answered.

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