Hamish

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Temperament: Friendly, chilled Suited to: Apartment/indoor living only, Safe garden access only, Children friendly, Dog friendly, Two-year old Hamish is a chilled out kind of a guy. He's great with kids and generally just takes it all in, he's not so keen on some cats but likes others, as it's a bit of a lottery we would like to rehome him as an only cat or with a cat friendly dog. As a typical fold, Hamish walks a little stiffly and can limp a little when he first stands up although he doesn't seem to be in any pain. Xrays show his bones to be normal, as are heart tests. Currently Hamish takes joint supplements as a precaution, and is a happy boy. He is playful, cheeky and loves belly rubs. Hamish is fully vaccinated, neutered, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and is ready to take to the skies from Qatar into your arms. Fully vaccinated, microchipped, FIV/FeLV negative, neutered

About Hamish

What life with Hamish looks like

Hamish is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Paws Rescue UK 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 Hamish, answered.

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