Adopt Mimi

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Mimi a sweet white and grey tabby cat who was rescued from the street when she was pregnant. She has been a great mum to her 4 kittens who have now been adopted, and she is now ready for her very own Forever Home. She is very calm and well behaved, has not been known to scratch or bite. She is very affectionate, loves cuddles, chin and cheek rubs and strokes. We are delighted that she has recently become a lap cat too. Mimi is a clever cat, knows her name and comes when we call. She also comes to greet us at the door when we have been out. Mimi is still playful and enjoys chasing and jumping to catch her toys. We are trying to teach her to ‘fetch’ so we don’t have to keep going to her to throw her toy again. She loves human company and often follows us from room to room to be with us. She explores the house quietly at night and usually ends up sleeping at the foot of our bed. She will be a great companion and will be happy in a home with someone who enjoys spending time and playing with her.

About Mimi

What life with Mimi looks like

Mimi 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 Mimi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mimi?
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 Mimi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mimi 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 Mimi 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 Mimi 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 Mimi 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
