Poco

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Senior · 13 years

Could you be Poco's purrfect home?No adoption donationLooking for a friendly, sweetheart cat companion? Well, you've found her! Meet Poco, she's isuch a darling little mature cat. Pretty Poco was found straying and was clearly struggling living on the streets; thankfully a kind person was feeding her until we had space to take her in. He called her Poco which means little in Spanish…it suits her perfectly. Poco is very affectionate and loves to be close to you and has her fosterer wrapped around her little finger. She eats well and is very settled on Whiskas senior in jelly and good quality dry food. Our vet estimates that Poco is around 12-13 years old and as such is showing signs of older age health issues; she has early stage kidney problems and recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Poco takes her daily medication very easily in her food and she's responding very well to treatment and looking good! Poco is fully vaccinated, chipped and neutered. Darling Poco would suit a quiet, loving home where she'll have company, a lap to snooze upon and - this might surprise you - someone who'll enjoy playing with her, she loves to chase a laser pen and toy mouse-pouncing! Why leave all the fun to the youngsters eh Poco? She has met cat-friendly dogs and other cats and was absolutely fine. Good luck sweetheart in finding your new home, you've still got a spring in your step and lots of love to give. Please note we will cover cost of medication for the first year of adoption.

About Poco

What life with Poco looks like

Poco is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Swansea Cats and Kittens 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 Poco, answered.

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