Alfie & Ginger

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 10 years

Alfie and Ginger are a very special pair who have travelled a long way and are now looking for a loving home together. They may be very different in personality, but they share a strong bond and need to stay side by side. Ginger is a wonderful 15-year-old gentleman with a heart as soft as his beautiful fluffy coat. Originally from the Middle East, this charming senior absolutely adores people and loves nothing more than fuss, attention and a good cuddle. If you're looking for an affectionate companion who will happily soak up all the love you can give, Ginger is your boy! Alfie is a striking 10-year-old ginger boy with plenty of character. He is comfortable around people as long as they keep a respectful distance but isn't a fan of being handled or stroked. His new family will need to understand that he prefers to choose when and how he interacts. We believe they would suit a peaceful home and possibly access to a safe outdoor space.

About Alfie & Ginger

What life with Alfie & Ginger looks like

Alfie & Ginger is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Animal Concern Cumbria in Egremont.

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 Alfie & Ginger, answered.

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