Collin

Mixed Breed · Male

Collin is related to Riley Rukia Laszlo Handsome Collin was definitely our little shy guy when he first arrived in his foster home. But luckily for us, he has since decided that actually his foster mamas are great for snuggles, scritches and treats and now he is actually the most affectionate of the four! He is simply adorable, although we are sure he believes he is a big fierce panther. He likes to be on top of things: he sits on the cat playpen, carefully balancing while playing with a toy. Or on top of the legs of the toppled over wooden hippo. He likes to be in the most awkward of places, he is a true acrobat. We would love Collin to be adopted with one of his siblings, be it his real brother Laszlo, or his step siblings Riley or Rukia. We really believe he would do better in a pair for wrestling, playing, chasing and napping!

About Collin

What life with Collin looks like

Collin is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Hounslow Animal Welfare Society 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 Collin, answered.

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