Adopt Polly & Gus

Mixed Breed · Male

This brother and sister duo came from a really sad situation. Their owner has severe dementia and sadly was not able to look after them. Both cats were sadly living in a bathroom. With the help of social services, it was decided that it was in their best interest to be removed from the property and transferred to our care. Both cats arrived very scared but have since flourished into total lap cats. They are not only good with other cats but they are also gentle, kind and affectionate to people and children. As each day goes on their confidence and love grows, their interest in toys becomes greater and it really is magical to watch them become relaxed, happy cats. Polly and Gus are healthy, neutered, vaccinated, blood tested and come with 5 weeks free pet insurance. They would really like a quieter home – children are ok for these two but perhaps only one if young. We aren’t sure they would cope with multiple young children (they would be fine with multiple older ones though). They could live in a multi cat home or be equally fine as the only two cats as they have each other. They require cat flap access and not to be near any busy main roads. For all they have been through, they really are golden little souls that have nothing but love to give. Someone would be very lucky to have them. They are currently in foster in Adisham, Kent and available to meet. Please get in touch if these two are the ones for you!

About Polly & Gus

What life with Polly & Gus looks like

Polly & Gus is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Flori 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 Polly & Gus, answered.

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