Hogan

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Hogan is a lovely chubby gentleman we think about 12 years old we are not sure. He was found on arrival with us to have suffered with an ear polyp while a stray which we had removed. During the polyp removal the ear drum was lost in one ear leaving him partly deaf and his balance is affected somewhat. Because of the ear drum issue he has had several ear infections and though this seems to have settled down he might sometimes have to go on antibiotics for ear infections which is straightforward. Hogan is looking for a loving forever home where he can enjoy plenty of company, affection and attention. He is still very timid however with time and attention, he learns to trust. He has a lovely deep purr, gives great headbutts and is learning to use his voice. He will need a peaceful home where he can have companionship, attention and space to explore safely. He has so much affection to give and deserves someone who will embrace his imperfect balance, understand his needs and give this lovely older boy all the love and security he deserves. We feel he needs at least someone there during some of the working week days so it would be perfect if you work at least part of the week at home. Hogan will either need to be an indoor only cat or indoor plus a catio with just low shelving as due to his balance issue as though this might improve with time a return to the balance level of a normal cat cannot be guaranteed. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. If you would like to apply to adopt Hogan please download the adoption form or email us.

About Hogan

What life with Hogan looks like

Hogan is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at The Cats Whiskers Rescue (East Herts) in United Kingdom.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇧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 Hogan, answered.

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