Aya

Mixed Breed Β· Male Β· Adult Β· 8 years

Aya is also wonderfully vocal. Oriental and Siamese cats are known for their chatty nature, and Aya is no exception. His meows are loud, expressive and sometimes insistent, even after he has been fed and played with. He loves attention and will happily interrupt whatever you are doing to ask for more. His ideal adopter will understand and embrace this breed characteristic, ideally enjoying or having experience of chatty Oriental or Siamese cats. Aya’s ideal home and care needs Active and intelligent, Aya needs daily interaction, mental stimulation and two play sessions. He enjoys toys but can become bored without enough to do. He does not like being alone for long periods or overnight, so he needs a home where someone spends plenty of time around and enjoys an interactive companion. Aya is accustomed to indoor-outdoor life and enjoys exploring the garden. He must be the only pet, as he does not get along with other cats. Having had all his teeth removed, he may also be more vulnerable if involved in a fight. A secure, cat-proof garden or a safe neighbourhood with few visiting cats would be ideal. Aya had all his teeth removed due to congenital gingivitis, which has left him much more comfortable. He continues to enjoy his food and currently eats KatKin wet food and Royal Canin Dental dry food, which must be moistened to soften it for eating. His ongoing dietary needs should be discussed with his vet to help keep his gums healthy. He has recently had a veterinary check-up and his annual vaccination. Aya is a little overweight and very enthusiastic about food! His new family will need to manage portion sizes and discuss a suitable feeding plan with his vet to help him maintain a healthy weight. Aya is being rehomed through no fault of his own due to a change in his owner's personal circumstances. He has been deeply loved for 6 years, making this a very sad decision for his current owner. A true Velcro-cat, Aya loves being close to his people and involved in everyday life. He needs someone who will cherish his affectionate nature, embrace his quirks and enjoy having a cuddly, playful and wonderfully characterful companion. In return, he has an enormous amount of love to give. Could you be the person who gives Aya the loving home he deserves? Aya’s details What is the colour of this cat?

About Aya

What life with Aya looks like

Aya is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Feline Friends London 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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Aya, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aya?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Feline Friends London handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Aya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aya if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Feline Friends London 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 Aya 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Aya isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Feline Friends London early rather than rehoming privately; they know Aya 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 β€” 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.
