Pepe and Marcel

Mixed Breed · Male

Meet bonded brothers Pepe (black and white) and Marcel (black) who are 4½ months old. They were rescued from a scrapyard where a feral colony was living. Sadly, they are the only two of their litter to survive. After a tough start, they are blossoming in foster care and are very friendly towards their fosterer and, although initially a little reserved with strangers, after the encouragement of a little playtime, they are fine. Both have quite different personalities. Pepe is the dominant one, very lively and runs on Duracell with hardly any ‘off’ button! But he loves a cuddle and can be held and petted which all helps to calm him down. He is a little rough with his play but his fosterer is teaching him how to play nicely. Marcel loves to play with his brother, but by contrast, he is a very cuddly lap cat. They both know their names and some key words including ‘cuddle’ and ‘foody’ and ‘no!’. Both use the litter tray impeccably. Pepe and Marcel will require access to a garden/ safe outside space when old enough and fully settled into their new home. Technical bits: Pepe and Marcel are neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Little Marcel had hypothermia when rescued and was suffering from cat flu. He still gives an occasional sneeze but has recovered really well.

About Pepe and Marcel

What life with Pepe and Marcel looks like

Pepe and Marcel is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at The Cats Whiskers Rescue (East Herts) 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 Pepe and Marcel, answered.

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