Mixed Breed ยท Male ยท Kitten ยท 6 months

Meet Tom ๐ŸคŽ STRICTLY INDOOR ONLY HOME Tom is a handsome young Bengal boy who is searching for the loving forever home he truly deserves. Tom was part of our large intake of 62 cats, but despite everything he has been through, he has remained the sweetest, most easy-going lad. He has a wonderfully soft nature and is such a pleasure to be around. Still very much a youngster, Tom has all the playful energy of a big kitten. He loves chasing toys, having a little mess around, and making the most of playtime, but he's just as happy when it's time to slow down and enjoy plenty of fuss and affection. If you're nearby, he'll happily accept all the love you have to offer! โค๏ธ Tom also enjoys the company of other cats and would be more than happy to share his home with a friendly feline companion. He has settled so well into rescue life and has shown us what a calm, gentle, and adaptable boy he is. With his affectionate personality, playful spirit, and easy-going nature, Tom really is the complete package. Whether he's making you smile with his kitten antics or curling up for some well-earned attention, he's sure to become a much-loved member of his forever family. Could you be the one to give this lovely boy the home he's been waiting for? ๐Ÿกโค๏ธ

About Tom

What life with Tom looks like

Tom is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Almost Home Animal Rescue NI in Belfast.

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 โ€” most shelters arrange this before adoption.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชAdopting 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 Tom, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tom?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Almost Home Animal Rescue NI handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tom on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tom if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Almost Home Animal Rescue NI 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tom 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 Tom 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 Almost Home Animal Rescue NI early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tom 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.
