Arnie

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 5 months

This is our handsome boy Arnie, he is now approx 20 weeks old and is a white and silver grey tabby. When Arnie first arrived he was very frightened and unsure of things, hes come on quite a lot and is now more confident, although when he is a little wary of new people or situations he can become timid and shy again. He loves being stroked once he is used to you and has one of the loudest purrs in the sanctuary. Arnie has oodles of energy and is in his happy place when he can play and jump around. Whoever rehomes Arnie will need plenty of time on their hands to get to know him and play with him to burn off some of that excess energy. An ideal environment for Arnie would be a home with a family with older children, or a couple/single person who has time and space to play with him. He will need a safe green space to play in once he is ready to go outside. This needs to be away from busy and main roads and other hazards like railway lines, canals and water. Arnie has been vet checked, microchipped, vaccinated, neutered, flead and wormed. He is ready for his new home and family, could that be you? To apply please read our Adoption Policy and use the Application Form to tell us about yourself. Adoption fee of £110 applies

About Arnie

What life with Arnie looks like

Arnie is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Heatons Cat Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧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 Arnie, answered.

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