Robin

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Robin is a rather handsome, semi-longhaired ginger tabby who is approximately 3 years old. Sadly, he found himself rejected and shut out of his home by his owners along with Batman (see separate profile). During the past three months or so they have been left outside and only fed one or two sachets of food per day. Robin and Batman are now being fostered and learning how to be loved again. Robin is showing himself to have rather an independent spirit, as he is friendly up to a point, providing you do not overstep the mark. He is still very much settling in and will need an owner who understands that he needs his own space and who is sensitive to his likes and dislikes. His fosterer says that she can stroke and groom his head and back, but he will swipe you if he feels threatened. He is apparently always hungry and loves his food which is not surprising given what has happened. Robin will need a quiet, calm home that he can call his own kingdom with no other pets who will compete for food. Access to a garden/safe outside space is a must once he has fully settled into a new home. Technical bits: Robin is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He will go home with 5 weeks free pet insurance. If you would like to give this handsome ginger boy the second chance he so deserves, please download the adoption form or email us.

About Robin

What life with Robin looks like

Robin is a young 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 Robin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Robin?: 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 Robin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Robin 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Robin 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 Robin 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 Robin 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.
