Marshmallow

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Marshmallow is related to Lumi Must be homed with Lumi Marshmallow (affectionately known as Mallow in her foster home), came into our care from a multi-cat household along with Lumi the pure white cat HC5813. It's possible she is Lumi's mum as they are very close. She's a pretty little cat with her slightly fluffy coat and the little white tuft on her chest. Whereas Lumi is super confident, Mallow was a little more timid when she arrived in her foster home but soon got much more comfortable in the space. She can still be a little cautious but she sleeps on the bed with us and likes being petted, A LOT. She is now quite chatty too, not that Lumi can hear what she's talking about. They are adorable together. We are looking for a home for Marshmallow with Lumi, 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. OK with older childrenGarden requiredMarshmallow has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated

About Marshmallow

What life with Marshmallow looks like

Marshmallow 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 Marshmallow, answered.

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