Matthew and Louis

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 3 months

MATTHEW AND LOUIS (to be adopted as a pair) Matthew (black and white) and Louis (tabby and white)) are brothers who are approximately 12 weeks old. They were part of an accidental litter who came into RSPCA care to find their forever homes. Matthew is a confident boy, he will bound over to greet you, chirruping, especially if you bring food. He loves to groom his humans, purring loudly as he does so. Louis can be timid at first, but is a total love bug and will come over to you giving you head bumps as he snuggles down on your lap, purring loudly. If there is a lap to sit on, he will find it. Both kittens love to play and will spend hours playfighting with each other or running and jumping around the house. They also love playing with their ball toys and dangly toys. They are loving and friendly kittens and when tired, love snuggling up with their humans for a nap. Matthew and Louis will need to be adopted together as they are particularly close and Louis is much more confident when he has his brother around. The kittens are litter trained, flea treated and wormed. They will be ready for adoption towards the end of July, by which time they will have been neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. They have been fostered in a home with young children, are used to regular handling by adults and children, and would be fine to live with children of any age; especially ones who enjoy playing with them.

About Matthew and Louis

What life with Matthew and Louis looks like

Matthew and Louis is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at RSPCA Altrincham & Cheshire 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 Matthew and Louis, answered.

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