Pearl and Matilda

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

These gorgeous sisters are looking for their forever home together. For 16 weeks old, they are incredibly tiny. No health issues with this, they are just small kittens. What they lack in size, they make up for in love! Both kittens are incredibly affectionate, although Matilda does need some warming up to new people. She's just being sensible, since Pearl loves everything and everyone. Pearl and Matilda would be OK in a home with other cats. Due to their very small size, they may be best in a home without dogs, or extremely gentle dogs. Older children would be best.

About Pearl and Matilda

What life with Pearl and Matilda looks like

Pearl and Matilda is a very small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Shropshire Cat Rescue 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 Pearl and Matilda, answered.

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