Mark & Matthew

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

top of pageMark & MatthewShareThe Gospel boys🐾 MARK & MATTHEW — THE GOSPEL BOYS 🐾 One whole year has passed… and these beautiful boys are STILL waiting for their forever home. 💔 When we first introduced Mark and Matthew, they were just tiny kittens, around five months old. They were the babies of Mary D’Angelo, the beautiful cat rescued from Salford Cathedral, and their brothers Luke and John had already found their forever home. We honestly never imagined that a whole year later, these two gorgeous boys would still be with us. They are now 18 months old and have grown into two absolutely wonderful young cats. They are incredibly bonded, adore each other and really do need to find their home together. 🥹❤️ ✨ MARK is the confident one. He is completely in your face, in the nicest possible way! 😂 He loves people, loves attention, loves sitting on your lap and will happily make himself the centre of your world. He is affectionate, friendly, playful and just an absolute sweetheart. Over the past year, though, Mark has had a little bit of a difficult time with his mouth. We have had him fully investigated and unfortunately he has tested positive for calicivirus, a common feline virus which can cause mouth and upper respiratory symptoms and can flare up when a cat is stressed. Because Mark has been struggling with his mouth, he is having some dental work done next week, including removal of some teeth that are causing him discomfort. We are hoping this will make a huge difference to him, particularly when he is eating, and we will make sure his dental treatment is completed before he is adopted. This does not mean Mark cannot have a happy, normal life or find his forever home. ❤️ It simply means his new family needs to understand that he carries the virus and that stress can sometimes cause symptoms such as mouth soreness, watery eyes or cold-like symptoms. We want to be completely open and honest about Mark’s health because his future family needs to know exactly what they’re taking on , but we also want people to see Mark the cat, not just a diagnosis. He is a loving, affectionate, hilarious, food-obsessed boy who deserves a home of his own. And then there is MATTHEW. ❤️ Matthew is the quieter, slightly more reserved brother. He doesn’t throw himself at you quite as quickly as Mark does, but once he trusts you, he is incredibly sweet. He has had a clean bill of health, is fully vaccinated and has had both of his boosters. He has also become much more interested in going outside and enjoys exploring the yard at the shop. Matthew absolutely LOVES playing. These two boys can spend ages racing up and down the cat tree, chasing feathers on a stick and generally causing chaos together! 😂 And food… Well… let’s just say these boys are extremely enthusiastic about food. 😂 Chicken, Lick-e-Lix, treats — basically anything remotely edible is of interest! Matthew can be a little standoffish initially and he isn’t really a fan of having his belly tickled, but if you are gentle and allow him to come to you in his own time, he will happily settle down beside you and enjoy some fuss. He really is a very sweet boy once you’ve earned his trust. Both boys are fully up to date with their vaccinations and are ready to start the next chapter of their lives. And honestly… they have waited long enough. 💔 They have spent such a huge part of their young lives here at PawPurrs. We absolutely adore them, but what we want more than anything is for them to experience what they have been waiting for all this time: 🏡 Their own home ❤️ Their own family 🛋️ Their own sofa 🐾 Their own humans 🥰 And each other, forever. They are 18 months old now, and we want to see them spending the next 15–20 years being someone’s beloved cats not growing up in a rescue environment. If you have ever looked at these boys and wondered why nobody has snapped them up yet… we wonder exactly the same thing. Could YOU be the person who finally changes their story? Mark and Matthew are looking for a loving home together, where they can settle, grow old side by side and finally know what it feels like to be truly home. ❤️🐾 One year waiting is far too long for two boys who have so much love to give. Let’s make this their year. ❤️🐾 Mark and Matthew are ready to find their forever person. Could that be you?

About Mark & Matthew

What life with Mark & Matthew looks like

Mark & Matthew is a very small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at PawPurrs Halfway House 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 Mark & Matthew, answered.

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