Lumi

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Lumi is a British shorthair lilac point kitten and around ten weeks old. She is super soft, like a little cloud! Isn’t she pretty with her gorgeous grey and white coat? That is what the person thought when they bought her online. They soon discovered that kittens are kittens and do not look after themselves and need some dedicated time just like children! Lumi has a very laid-back character and loves a fuss and cuddle and will come and seek this out. She is playful and gentle-natured and is fine about being handled. Her fosterer tells us that she is an absolute sweetheart and will be a wonderful addition to a family. We think that it would be best for her if she could be homed with another kitten of a similar age. Eventually, once she has been neutered and has settled into her new home, Lumi will need access to a secure garden/outdoor space. Technical bits: Whoever adopts Lumi will be responsible for neutering, microchipping and vaccinating her at the appropriate time. She will go home with 5 weeks free pet insurance. If you would like to adopt gorgeous little Lumi, please download the adoption form below or email us.

About Lumi

What life with Lumi looks like

Lumi is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at The Cats Whiskers Rescue (East Herts) 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 Lumi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lumi?
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 Lumi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lumi 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lumi 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 Lumi 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 Lumi 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.
