Poppy and Bean

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

Poppy came to us heavily pregnant and she came from death row. She was supposed to be put down (including termination of advanced pregnancy) as classified “feral” and “not rehomable” by one of the charities in NW London. She is not feral at all. She’s a shy, scared cat that is finally learning to trust people and enjoy being a house cat. Mums are always overlooked when it comes to adoption, particularly as everyone wants a kitten but please remember that the cat mums once were kittens too, and they also deserve and want a loving home they can call their own. Please note that we don’t rehome cats to high floors and if indoor only on lower floors we will request the flat to be fully cat proofed. We expect the cat parents to have pet insurance in place as well as secure and big cat carriers as opposed to small meshy backpacks from which cats can easily escape. We have quite strict rehoming rules due to people returning cats after adoption for reasons such as a newborn baby or “puppy doesn’t get along with the cat” or “my new partner doesn’t like cats” or “we work from home and the cat wants constant attention” so please don’t get offended or discouraged if your offer won’t get accepted. Thank you for understanding.

About Poppy and Bean

What life with Poppy and Bean looks like

Poppy and Bean is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Stokey Cats and Dogs 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 Poppy and Bean, answered.

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