Adopt Badger

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 5 years

Badger – A loyal little gentleman looking for his forever home Badger is a handsome black and white boy of around 5 years old with a truly special heart. He was found as a stray after what is believed to have been a dog attack, which left him with abscesses on his front legs. These were successfully treated, and the reason his front legs appear shaved in his photos is simply because of his recent veterinary care – the fur is already growing back beautifully. Links to videos of Badger: Badger 1 Badger 2 Badger 3 Since then, poor Badger has also overcome a urinary tract infection. He is now doing very well and is on a urinary-specific diet to keep him feeling his best. Despite everything he has been through, Badger has remained wonderfully friendly and affectionate. He enjoys a fun play session (string is his favourite!) but is happiest soaking up fuss and attention. He has a calm, loving nature and forms strong bonds with his people. He has managed to charm all the staff at the vets and he has his foster parents wrapped around his paw. Badger would thrive in a quiet household without other pets or young children. Once he has had time to settle, he would love access to secure outdoor space where he can safely explore and enjoy the fresh air. He is ready to leave his difficult start behind and find a peaceful forever home where he can be cherished. In return, he promises loyal companionship, gentle head bumps, and a very full heart. If you are looking for a devoted companion, Badger may be the perfect addition to your family! Please click on the gallery photos below for full-size images:

About Badger

What life with Badger looks like

Badger is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Avid 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 Badger, answered.

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