Adopt Rattler

Male · Kitten · 5 months

Hey! I'm Rattler and I am approximately 5 months old. I have come for a large multi-cat household so I am very used to being around my feline friends. I would really appreciate living with a cat friend again such as my mate Herbert, as I don't like to be alone, its something I've never experienced, but I guess with lots of human company, I could get used to it! I am a typical playful and boisterous kitten that is in to everything! Its not known if I have had much contact with dogs but I don't seem to be overly scared of them so a slow introduction would be great, then its another friend for me! I could live with calm and respectful children that know it will take me a little while to settle. I am going to be pretty fluffy when i am older so regular coat care is a must for me, I don't want to end up matted. If you would like to get to know more about me then please don't hesitate to contact the centre. Bye for now!

Sponsor me and my friends to ensure I am safe and warm until I find a family to call my own.

About Rattler

What life with Rattler looks like

Rattler is a large puppy/kitten cat waiting at National Animal Welfare Trust in Watford.

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 Rattler, answered.

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