Ken – Adopt this Black Beauty

Mixed Breed · Male

Ken came into our care as a stray. After a full month of waiting, no owner has stepped forward. Therefore we are looking for someone to adopt this black beauty. Ken is a striking black cat, confident, alert, and full of character. We estimate him to be between three and five years old, and he has settled into kennel life with ease. He enjoys human company and doesn’t take long to warm up to new people. Ken is steady, friendly, and handles routine well. He is likely to be suitable for families with children over five who understand how to interact calmly with cats. He appreciates attention but also likes having space to watch the world go by. Ken will need a home away from Spittal and the nearby Tweedmouth area. This is simply to prevent him from returning to the area he was found. Once he is settled, he will adapt quickly and enjoy the stability of a new environment. He loves sitting at the window or on his shelf, keeping an eye on whatever is happening outside. One of his favourite activities is watching the dogs in the exercise area below. He often chirps or meows at them, clearly enjoying watching them try to work out where he is. Ken did go out recently. He settled well for the first 48 hours but then became unpredictable. When he was returned to us he a nasty injury to his ear. This may have unsettled him, though we can’t be certain. His ear has now been cleaned regularly with hibiscrub. He he has been an absolute gentleman since. We hope this was an isolated incident, but time and caution will be important in any new home.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ken – Adopt this Black Beauty, answered.

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