Adopt Nibbles and Skittles

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

by Cattery | May 22, 2026 | Cats, Liverpool, Male, Cats, Liverpool, Male When we took this beautiful 5 year old pair in 6 weeks ago, we felt a lump on Skittles mammary glands. We scheduled an operation to remove the lump and biopsy. Unfortunately, it is and has spread to her lymph nodes. Our vets have estimated she has 9-12 months – this is just an estimate and she could decline earlier or last much longer. We are looking for a home that is willing to have both girls – to have Skittles as a paliative foster and to adopt Nibbles and keep her after her sister has passed. We know that this is a difficult and very emotional prospect for someone but it is a beautiful thing to do for a cat in need. They are both very sweet girls who love to nose into everything, give lots of slow blinks and make us laugh with their daft antics. We are heartbroken that Skittles’ life will be cut short but we want her to have the love and comfort of a home for all the time she can. Ideally the home would have no other pets but we will consider a home with other cats that can be slowly introduced. They will be fine with cat-savvy children. We will provide anything that Skittles will need and she will be under the care of our veterinary team. Exclusive merchandise available direct from the rescue.

About Nibbles and Skittles

What life with Nibbles and Skittles looks like

Nibbles and Skittles is a 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 Nibbles and Skittles, answered.

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