Babe

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Babe is a gentle, big-hearted boy estimated to be around 10 years old, and after a tough life on the streets of Hull, he’s more than ready for the comfort he’s always deserved. 💛 Having spent much of his life outdoors, Babe is now longing for a warm, cosy home where he can finally relax, feel safe, and enjoy a full belly every day. His feeder is sadly moving and worried about leaving him behind, so we’re determined to find him the loving forever home he truly deserves. Babe is incredibly friendly and adores human company. He loves a cuddle and will happily soak up all the affection you can give — he’s the kind of cat who will make your house feel like home in no time. He may have a touch of arthritis that flares up in the cold, so Babe will need to be an indoor-only cat where he can stay warm and comfortable. In return, he’ll give you nothing but love, companionship, and plenty of snuggles. Babe will be neutered before going to his forever home. Could you be the one to give Babe the happy ending he’s been waiting for?

About Babe

What life with Babe looks like

Babe is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Jenny 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 Babe, answered.

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