Harriet & Gary

Mixed Breed · Unknown

AVAILABLE NOW ** 🐾 Harriet and Gary are looking for patient, forever homes 🐾 Meet Gary and Harriet – two young cats from a feral colony in Duggleby that we’ve been working through as part of our ongoing neutering and welfare programme. Although they have come a long way, they are still learning to trust people. They aren’t aggressive, just understandably wary and are looking for patient owners willing to let them settle at their own pace. They can be rehomed together or separately, depending on the right home. Both cats have been:- ✅ Fully health checked ✅ Vaccinated ✅ Microchipped ✅ Flea and worm treated Their ideal home would be: – 🏡 A quiet household with patient owners 🏡 Someone happy to let them build trust in their own time 🏡 Preferably a home without young children, where life is calm and predictable They may never be lap cats, but many former feral cats surprise us with how much they change once they are in a loving, safe home environment. 🏡 Home checks and adoption fee applies.

About Harriet & Gary

What life with Harriet & Gary looks like

Harriet & Gary is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary 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 Harriet & Gary, answered.

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