Franklin

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Franklin is looking for an adult-only home, he would like to be the only animal in the home and will require outdoor access. Franklin is a lovely and friendly chap who loves a good explore of his surroundings! He loves to say hello to his human friends and have a good wander of our cattery to check out what’s going on. He loves treats and being made a fuss of and also enjoys having a brush. He has a real playful side too, he particularly enjoys chasing wand toys and rolling around in catnip! Franklin would be best suited to a home where he can get plenty of attention from his family, but can also have the space to do his own thing when he’s feeling more independent. He isn’t shy about asking for a fuss but will also happily take himself off to do his own thing when he wants some quiet time. Franklin can sometimes get a little frustrated if things aren’t on his terms and will let you know when he needs some space, so although he is a sociable and confident boy – he would be best suited to an adult-only home environment. Despite being a slightly older gent, Franklin is still so full of life and believes he is still a kitten! He sadly arrived in our care after being found as a stray, so we have no background information on his previous life. He so deserves to find his forever home where he can spend the rest of his life spoilt rotten, knowing the love and safety of a forever family. Franklin has abnormally shaped pupils and is on ongoing pain relief medication for arthritis. Any potential rehomers should be aware that these will likely be classed as pre-existing conditions and won’t be covered by pet insurance. The rehoming team will discuss Franklin’s veterinary history in further detail with any successful applicants.

About Franklin

What life with Franklin looks like

Franklin is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Newcastle Dog and Cat Shelter in Newcastle.

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 Franklin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Franklin?
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 Franklin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Franklin 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Franklin 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 Franklin 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 Franklin 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.
