Zara – 5 Yr Old Female

British Shorthair · Female

Hello everyone, My name is Zara, I am new here at Rain. My personality: I am settling in and the humans are being so nice and understanding, I am a little shy and I do hide away but with some encouragement, I do come out to give headbutts and have a little fuss. The humans say because I am new I am just very cautious but they think I will be a lovely girl. I keep getting treats called lix-e-lix and sometimes I love them, this may help my new family gain my trust and love. My ideal home: I would like a home with understanding people, it may take me a little longer to settle in than other cats as everything is a little scary for me. I have lived with other cats before and could potentially do so again… with slow introductions after I have settled in. If I have to share my home with children I would like them to be a little older and calmer, this will help me and my confidence if everyone is calm and understanding. Access to outdoors: I have always been an indoor cat and have never seen the outside world with my own paws, I may like access to the outdoors if my new home is somewhere not close to busy roads. I may just have a little potter in the garden, but I’m sure you will know what I want once I have settled in. Toileting: I am litter-trained, I currently have both wood and grit litter. Did you know: Black cats are the most unwanted colour cat in rescues. My adoption fee is £125

Frequently asked

Adopting Zara – 5 Yr Old Female, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zara – 5 Yr Old Female?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Rain Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zara – 5 Yr Old Female on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zara – 5 Yr Old Female if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Rain 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 Zara – 5 Yr Old Female 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 Zara – 5 Yr Old Female 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 Rain Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zara – 5 Yr Old Female 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
