Inky (& smudge)

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Kitten · 3 months

Hello... I'm Inky, and if you're looking for a kitten-shaped shadow, I think we should talk!I'm one half of a very special brotherly duo and, while I do enjoy playing and exploring, my favourite place in the world is wherever my humans happen to be. I'm an incredibly affectionate boy who loves cuddles, attention, and being involved in absolutely everything you're doing.Compared to my brother Smudge, I'm the calmer one. I like a good play session and can certainly be mischievous when the mood takes me, but I'm also very happy curling up beside you for a snooze once the excitement is over. Life is all about balance, after all!Like any growing kitten, I have a healthy appetite and never want to miss a mealtime. Food, fuss, and cosy naps are definitely some of my favourite things.More than anything, though, I just love people. I'm the sort of kitten who wants to be close to you, whether that's curled up on your lap, stretched out beside you on the sofa, or following you from room to room just to make sure I don't miss out on any affection.If you're looking for a sweet, gentle, affectionate companion with a heart full of love to give, I could be your perfect match.

About Inky (& smudge)

What life with Inky (& smudge) looks like

Inky (& smudge) is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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 Inky (& smudge), answered.

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