Mittens (was Cupcake)

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

by Cattery | Jun 24, 2026 | Cats, Female, Liverpool, Cats, Female, Liverpool Poor little Mittens has ended up back with us. She orginally came to us in 2023, named Cupcake, heavily pregnant and successfully raised her litter before being adopted. Sadly, after 3 years in her home she has had to be returned due to a new baby’s allergies. They were very reluctant to give her up as she was a much loved family pet but after trying everything, they were left with no choice. She is a friendly, affectionate and social cat who has been a much loved part of the family. She likes to curl up on laps and makes lots of biscuits. She can live with any sensible children. She has not lived with other cats recently so would prefer a home without any. She would not like to live with a dog. She has lived as an indoor cat so would be happy to continue to do so or could be slowly introduced to a safe outdoor space. Exclusive merchandise available direct from the rescue.

About Mittens (was Cupcake)

What life with Mittens (was Cupcake) looks like

Mittens (was Cupcake) is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Freshfields Animal Rescue in Liverpool.

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 Mittens (was Cupcake), answered.

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