Butter

Female · Adult · 7 years

Butter is a lovely girl who is estimated to be around 7 years old. She came into our care as a stray, so little is known about her past, but she has already shown us what a sweet and gentle cat she is.Butter can be a little shy when meeting new people and may need some extra time to settle into her new surroundings. With patience, understanding, and a quiet place to call her own, we're sure her lovely personality will continue to shine through.She is looking for a calm, loving home where she can build her confidence at her own pace and enjoy the comfort and security she deserves. After her difficult start, we'd love to see Butter find a family willing to give her the time and love she needs to truly flourish.If you're looking for a gentle companion and have room in your heart for a cat who may take a little longer to come out of her shell, Butter could be the perfect match for you.

About Butter

What life with Butter looks like

Butter is a adult cat waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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 Butter, answered.

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