Albie

Mixed Breed · Male

Albie is one of our rescue cats that is a bit different to the others. We were asked to help this cat that was in their garden who looked like it had been in an accident as both his back legs looked like his knees had been dislocated and were pointing outwards. It was found on his visit to the vet that this was a birth defect and his hips had not formed properly and there wasn’t much that could be done at this stage as he was approx 8 monhs old. Albie does not realise he is different from other cats and is very energetic and runs around like any other cat. He can jump up, play and chase his toys and loves his catnip ones. He is friendly and just wants attention all the time. As he is so full on with other cats who he wants to play with he can cause friction amongst them because he gets annoyed that they won’t play with him and gives them a swipe. So we think he should be an only cat so he gets all the attention all of the time. He would make a lovely pet for someone who doesn’t mind an odd-looking cat with a wonderful heart full of love to give the right family. Contact us if you would like to discuss adopting him.

About Albie

What life with Albie looks like

Albie is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Animal Aid and Advice 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 Albie, answered.

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