Hayley

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Hayley came into our care alongside her lovely mum, Francine, and her siblings, Stan and Steve, after they were found as strays. Now, Hayley is ready to start the next chapter of her life and find a loving forever home of her own. 🏡 Hayley can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but she is slowly learning that humans can be trusted. With patience, kindness and plenty of time, she is beginning to come out of her shell and show us more of her lovely personality. Her new home will need to be a calm and settled environment where she can take things at her own pace. She may need a little longer than some kittens to feel completely comfortable, but watching her grow in confidence will be incredibly rewarding. Once she is old enough and fully settled, we feel Hayley would benefit from having safe outdoor access. She should adapt well to living alongside calm, respectful pets and older children, provided introductions are made slowly and she is given the space and time she needs. Hayley has already experienced a big change in her young life, and now she deserves the chance to find a family who will be patient with her and help her discover just how wonderful life can be. ❤️ Could you be the special home that gives Hayley the time, love and reassurance she needs to flourish?

About Hayley

What life with Hayley looks like

Hayley is a large kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

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 Hayley, answered.

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