Adopt Ziggy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

​My name is Ziggy—Ziggy Stardust, to be precise. While I might sound like a rockstar, I actually started my journey as a local legend in the wilds of Didcot. I spent a few months hanging out with the feral crowd, but let’s be honest: a cat with my natural charisma (and high-maintenance fur) wasn't meant for the rough-and-tumble life. ​I eventually decided to introduce myself to Stacey from the neuter rangers, who was helping the local colony. Before I knew it, I was whisked away to begin my transformation from street cat to pampered prince. I’ve since been neutered and had the heavy matting shaved off my back legs—I’m now feeling free, breezy, and ready to shine. ​I am the ulimate companion, an incredibly curious and friendly soul. I love to explore every nook and cranny of my home. ​I’m a real diplomat when it comes to housemates:​Dogs: I am great with polite, calm dogs.​Other Cats: I’m happy to share my space with other felines, provided we have a proper introduction. ​I will be officially ready to move into my "furrever" home in early June. ​I’ve traded the wild life for the quiet life, and all I’m missing now is you. Could you be the one to give me the head scratches and cozy sofa spot I’ve been dreaming of?

About Ziggy

What life with Ziggy looks like

Ziggy is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Nine Lives Cat Rescue in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧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 Ziggy, answered.

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