Butters

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Butters could live with children aged 10+. He would like to be the only animal in the home and will require outdoor access. Butters is a very handsome boy who was initially a little shy to begin with but very quickly showed his sweet side and didn’t take him long to make friends with all the staff and volunteers at the shelter. He is an affectionate lad who will nudge into you for a head scratch, he loves to be made a fuss of! Butters hasn’t shown a super playful side since being here and much prefers getting some attention from his human friends but will sometimes play with a string toy. Butters would be best suited to a home who have lots of time to give him the attention he so desperately craves. He has so much love to offer in his forever home and will make a lovely addition to one lucky family.

About Butters

What life with Butters looks like

Butters is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter in Newcastle.

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 Butters, answered.

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