top of pagealbanShareA Big Boy With A Big PersonalityALBAN IS LOOKING FOR HIS FUREVER HOME 🐾 Meet Alban, a magnificent white domestic long-haired cat who is believed to be around two to three years old. Weighing approximately 7 kg, he is a big, handsome boy with an equally big personality. Alban spent a long time living on the streets of South Manchester. After numerous attempts to trap him, he eventually decided he had had enough of street life and wandered into a local lady’s home to ask for help. He then came into foster care with PawPurrs Halfway House 🐾 Reg: 1197055 and has adapted beautifully to living in a home. He is a funny, playful and sometimes boisterous boy who knows exactly what he wants, especially when treats are involved. He likes to sit beneath the treat cupboard and will even stand on his back legs to inspect the contents when it is opened! Alban loves his toys and enjoys chasing his foster buddy Rain up and down the stairs. He and Rain have become good friends, and it would be lovely if they could find a home together, although they can also be adopted separately. He enjoys sitting beside you on the sofa and likes being close to his people. He is not currently a lap cat, but he will let you pick him up and, when he is in the mood, will happily be carried around in your arms. Alban can be a little naughty and is known to have a tantrum when he doesn’t get his own way. He’s all bluster and no bite though! 😂 Alban is FIV positive and is therefore looking for a spacious indoor home where he will have plenty of room to play and explore. A secure catio would be ideal, allowing him to enjoy some fresh air and watch the world outside safely. 🐈 Approximately 3 years old 🐈 FIV positive 🐈 Playful, energetic and full of character 🐈 Needs a spacious indoor home. 🐈 A secure catio would be a real bonus Message the page or contact Pawpurrs Halfway House directly.

About Alban

What life with Alban looks like

Alban is a large young adult cat waiting at PawPurrs Halfway House 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 Alban, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Alban?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. PawPurrs Halfway House handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Alban on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Alban if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — PawPurrs Halfway House 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Alban 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 Alban 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 PawPurrs Halfway House early rather than rehoming privately; they know Alban 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.
