Salty

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Salty went missing five years ago when he was two years old; there were no sightings and his owners had given up hope then ten months ago they received a call to say he’d been handed in at a vet 🙂 The only problem was they now had four other cats and Salty hated them – meal times were a particular trigger as he’d obviously gone hungry on the streets and he became aggressive fighting for his share. He takes about a week to settle in a new home and then loves a fuss – chin rubs are a particular favourite and he’s beginning to sit on laps again. He’s a sweet boy who’s been traumatised and would love a quiet home as an only pet. Sudden movements or too much noise make him uneasy now – it’s a tough life living off your wits. He also likes to lick and nibble you – it doesn’t hurt and is just his way of showing affection! He’d love a garden away from busy roads and really just needs somewhere calm and quiet where he can relax and forget those five missing years. Neutered, chipped, vaccinated with 5 weeks free insurance. Please mail us at with your ADDRESS and CONTACT NUMBER for our not so Salty anymore boy 🙂

About Salty

What life with Salty looks like

Salty is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Bristol and Wales Cat Rescue 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 Salty, answered.

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