Fable & Russet

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

Fable & Russet could live with children of any age. They could potentially live with other animals and are looking for a home where they will have outdoor access once old enough. Fable & Russet are an adorable pair of sisters who heartbreakingly arrived in our care after being found abandoned in a box. Russet (black & white) is the more confident of the pair and is a typical playful, cheeky and confident kitten. Fable (black) is a lot more reserved than her sister, but she will now come out to play with our staff and volunteers, although she is still wary of being stroked at the moment. Kittens require lots of play, stimulation and companionship and so these lovely girls are looking for a family who have lots of time to spend with them whilst they continue their development into happy, healthy adult cats. This delightful duo would benefit from a calm and quiet home, so that Fable, in particular, can have a relaxing environment to grow up in whilst she builds her confidence and finds her feet.

About Fable & Russet

What life with Fable & Russet looks like

Fable & Russet is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter in Newcastle.

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 Fable & Russet, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fable & Russet?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fable & Russet on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fable & Russet if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Fable & Russet 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 Fable & Russet 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 Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fable & Russet 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.
