Adopt Ernie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Say hello to the perfect gentleman that is Ernie, He had been straying for quite some time, struggling to keep warm and fed. Ernie was SO unbelievably grateful to have been rescued and plonked himself straight in the arms of his foster and gave her his belly. He has since been neutered, chipped, vaccinated, blood tested and treated for ear mites. Ernie is a gentle soul and a very calm, quiet and laid back boy. He leans into affection and enjoys being close to his people and would really love a home where he can snuggle up in bed with his owner as he is a cuddly boy. He’s currently living in foster with a young child and has been wonderful with him too. He could happily live with one other calm, laid-back cat, though he can feel a little overwhelmed by more confident, in your face feline personalities. Equally, he’d be perfectly content as the only pet, soaking up all the love. All in all, Ernie is a lovely, well rounded boy who will make a truly devoted companion. We are looking for a home with cat flap access for this boy that is not near any busy main roads. He is available to meet in Canterbury Kent and is 5 year young.

About Ernie

What life with Ernie looks like

Ernie is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Flori 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 Ernie, answered.

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