Lily

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Lily was handed into a veterinary practice at just 6 weeks of age apparently having been found abandoned in a bin. When arrived she was thought to have cat flu, but tested negative and we agreed to take her into foster care. Lily is a very pretty calico kitten with soft slighlly fluffy fur and is the sweetest little girl very bright and friendly. She is playful and inquisitive and likes nothing more than having a playmate, (currently her foster carer) who is willing to join her in her games of chase and hide and seek. She enjoys a routine of eating, sleeping (afternoon naps), playing, exploring new places and things and wearing out the various toys she has to play with. It is possible she could go with a kitten of a similar age but in our experience calico cats tend to be happier when they are the only cat in the home. She would make a very good family pet with more than one person to play with her and a secure garden, but more than anything, she needs a loving and secure home.OK with older childrenGarden requiredLily has been microchipped and is fully vaccinated

About Lily

What life with Lily looks like

Lily is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Hounslow Animal Welfare Society 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 Lily, answered.

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