Gem kittens

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 2 months

Please meet Quartz and Sapphire. These gorgeous boys are about 10 weeks old and have not had the best start in life. They have had very little human contact up until now and are still quite wary of us. They have started to play with rod toys in the last few days but are still not really comfortable with being touched. These guys will need a quiet new home with patient owners who are happy for them to settle in at their own pace. They will need to be flexible on temperament on cat as we do not yet know whether these guys will be happy with physical contact. They may turn out to be cats who prefer to interact with humans in just play. As they are still young, they will need new owners who are around for most of the day as they will need regular feeding and play sessions. They may also need access outdoors a little sooner than your average cat and will need lots of safe, green space to explore. They may be able to share their home with a quiet teenager or two and maybe even other pets. Quartz and Sapphire do not need to be rehomed together.

About Gem kittens

What life with Gem kittens looks like

Gem kittens is a medium-sized kitten mixed breed cat waiting at RSPCA Little Valley Animal Shelter 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 Gem kittens, answered.

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