Mabel

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Mabel is the prettiest little tabby kitten who is just over 6 months of age with a delightful personality. Her previous owner had intended her to be friends with her older cat who unfortunately made it perfectly obvious that the newcomer was not welcome, and so Mabel has found herself in foster care. She loves people, purring loudly as soon as she sees you and wanting constant cuddles and strokes. Being young, she is naturally very playful, her favourite toy being “Da Bird”! She is a little nervous around other cats but her fosterer has been introducing her slowly to other members of his cat family and she is getting better, making friends with one in particular, so she could probably live with other cats with a careful introduction. Mabel is such a sweet and friendly girl, and her fosterer says that whoever adopts her will be really lucky. She will need access to a garden/safe outside space when she has fully settled in. Technical bits: Mabel is vaccinated and will be neutered and microchipped before homing. She will go home with 5 weeks free pet insurance. If you would like to offer gorgeous Mabel a loving home, please download the adoption form or email us.

About Mabel

What life with Mabel looks like

Mabel 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 Mabel, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mabel?
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 Mabel on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mabel 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 Mabel 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 Mabel 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 Mabel 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.
