Ed

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Ed is related to Thelma Ed came to us as a stray with 2 adult female cats. This is what our fosterer has to say about him: Ed, or as I now call him, Mr Ed, is a handsome gentleman with a soft nature with a very impressive fluffy tail and bib. He really wants to trust people. He can be spooked by sudden movements but is getting more trusting. He loves stretching out along the top of the sofa or on the windowsill watching the world go by. He has started to play, enjoys chin rubs and strokes. I thought he didn’t purr but it’s there just very quiet He enjoys his food and LOVES a Dreamie or some fresh chicken!Adult only home requiredGarden requiredEd has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated

About Ed

What life with Ed looks like

Ed is a young 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 Ed, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ed?
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 Ed on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ed 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 Ed 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 Ed 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 Ed 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.
