Dexter and Domino

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 5 months

Introducing brothers Dexter (tabby) and Domino (tuxedo) who are 3.5 months old. They were living in a garden with their mum and have since been raised indoors by some kind people who took them in. They make a very closely bonded and sweet-natured pair and follow each other everywhere. As they have only just come in to foster care, the boys are still settling in and are understandably quite nervous of being touched, but with a gentle and patient approach, it is lovely to see them slowly learning to trust. They are very playful, love their toys and will engage with you although they are wary of any sudden movement. They have also started to become more vocal as their confidence has grown – Domino now lets his fosterer know when he is hungry! Both have good appetites! Dexter and Domino will need access to a safe garden/outdoor space when fully settled into their new home and neutered. Technical bits: It will be the responsibility of the new owners to vaccinate, neuter and microchip Dexter and Domino at the appropriate time.

About Dexter and Domino

What life with Dexter and Domino looks like

Dexter and Domino is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at The Cats Whiskers Rescue (East Herts) in United Kingdom.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧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 Dexter and Domino, answered.

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