Ben and Sam

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 6 years

by Cattery | Jun 24, 2026 | Cats, Liverpool, Cats, Liverpool, Pairs - Groups These poor boys are absolutely bewildered at being in rescue. They were much loved pets but sadly their owner was being evicted and they faced homelessness. Ben is the boy on the left in the picture. He has two black patches over his eyes. We can stroke him gently and he leans into it but he is mostly hiding away. Sam is the boy on the right and is still quite reserved. This is understandable as their world has been turned upside down. Their previous owner told us that they were very friendly boys that loved to sit with her and have cuddles. They could always be found together snuggled up and enjoyed playing. Ben is the foodie and had been known to steal Sam’s food if he isn’t quick enough. They have been indoor cats so would be happy to continue to be. If they go to a home with safe outdoor access they would need slow introductions to the outdoors. They have not lived with dogs. They would not like to live with children under 10. They could live with other cats given careful introductions. Exclusive merchandise available direct from the rescue. Don't miss out, follow the link to make your purchase today.

About Ben and Sam

What life with Ben and Sam looks like

Ben and Sam is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Freshfields Animal Rescue in Liverpool.

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 Ben and Sam, answered.

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