Batman

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 8 months

Batman is a lovely black and white kitten about 8 months old. Shockingly, along with Robin (see separate profile), he was shut out of his home by his owners and has spent the past three months or so outside with limited food. Batman and Robin are now being fostered and learning how to be loved again. Despite coming into foster care together, we are homing them separately as we have found that Robin is tending to bully Batman a little. Batman seems to have lost some confidence and his fosterer says that he is still very nervous of sudden movements and noises. However, it is lovely to see his confidence growing and he apparently now adores playing with his toy mouse and ball which is great fun to see and he loves a fuss and even tummy rubs! He just needs a little more time to find his feet. Batman will require access to a garden/safe outside space once he has fully settled into a new home. We think he would be best suited to a quiet home and may benefit from the company of another cat of similar age to be his playmate. Technical bits: Batman is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He will go home with 5 weeks pet insurance. If you would like to offer this gorgeous young boy a home and a new start, please download the application form or email us.

About Batman

What life with Batman looks like

Batman is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at The Cats Whiskers Rescue (East Herts) 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 Batman, answered.

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