Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 15 years

Meet Prince - a sweet, distinguished 15-year-old gentleman with a unique, raccoon-patterned tail. Affectionately called "Scraggles" or "Mr Scraggs" by his foster family, this polite senior is a quiet and gentle companion who loves nothing more than head kisses, a treat and ear scratches. Prince takes his retirement lifestyle seriously, focusing on his two favourite hobbies: eating and sleeping. He has a fantastic appetite and a very patient routine: when he’s ready for a meal, he simply sits by his food bowl and waits until it's served. When he’s not enjoying a snack, Prince is usually perfecting the art of the cozy nap. His signature move is setting up camp directly in the middle of doorways, quietly keeping you company from the most wonderfully inconvenient spots possible. Prince is looking for a calm, loving home where he can snooze, eat well, and offer quiet, devoted affection. He is an easygoing soul who asks for very little beyond good food, daily scratches, and a bit of extra watchfulness when stepping through doorways!

About prince

What life with prince looks like

prince is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at London Inner City Kitties in United Kingdom.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇧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 prince, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about prince?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. London Inner City Kitties handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw prince on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt prince if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — London Inner City Kitties 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is prince 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 prince 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 London Inner City Kitties early rather than rehoming privately; they know prince 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.
