Hettie

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Could you be Hettie's purrfect home?Hettie is such a little poppet! She came to us as the last (but definitely not least!) of an unwanted litter from a sweetheart pet cat called Pearl, who is also in our care. Tiny but mighty Hettie is actually older than she looks and is a little undersized, but we're sure this dainty little miss will grow as big as her personality very soon! She's had to be tough and confident living in a household of multiple cats, all competing for fuss and food. Hettie has been loved and played with and had lots of fun so she's used to busy family life. Hettie loves to play, loves to be where the action is and always has an opinion on everything, which she expresses loudly! Gorgeous girl. Hettie is a character there's no denying it - she's a scene stealer and likes to take centre stage which for a kitten so tiny, that's impressive. Go girl! Hettie has been vaccinated and microchipped and when she's ready for spaying, her adopter will be entitled to reduced cost neutering at either of our partner vet practices. We'd like pretty little Hettie to be homed to a household with other friendly cats because she's used to company, or she can be homed with her mum Pearl. Go Hettie…the world is waiting for you to take centre stage!

About Hettie

What life with Hettie looks like

Hettie is a very small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at Swansea Cats and Kittens 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 Hettie, answered.

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