Lumi

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Lumi is related to Marshmallow Must be homed with Marshmallow Meet Lumi - his name is Finnish for Snow. He came into our care from a mult-cat household with the black and white female Marshmallow HC5814, who we think might actually be his mother. They’re bonded and need to be homed together. As is fairly common in pure white cats, Lumi is deaf and he also has very mild cerebellar hypoplasia which means he's a little unsteady at times, but that hasn't held him back at all. None of this bothers him; he's a sweetheart, playful and loves other cats. He’s very active, playful, and incredibly chatty — he’s been a joy to have around. As he can't hear he loves anything visual especially the Ipad or television. We are looking for a home for Lumi with Marshmallow as the pair are very bonded. However because Lumi is deaf that new home needs to have a very safe and secure garden, which Lumi can enjoy on supervised visits but which Marshmallow can enjoy on a more regular basis. Garden not essentialLumi has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated

About Lumi

What life with Lumi looks like

Lumi is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Hounslow Animal Welfare Society in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧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. Hounslow Animal Welfare Society 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 — 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. 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 Hounslow Animal Welfare Society 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.
