Shelby

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 3 months

Shelby is a 12 week old female brown and cream kitten. Although she had a hard start in life, Shelby is full of joy, curiosity and love. She loves playing with her toys as well as anything she finds around – especially strings. She likes to be cuddled all the time and loves to have people around. She is great with children. She is a real foodie and will always follow you into the kitchen to see if there might be any treats for her. Shelby sadly had to have her eye removed when she first came in to us due to an infection, this does not slow her down in anyway and she has adapted very well to life with one eye. Because of this we are looking to rehome her as an indoor only cat. Shelby has been microchipped, vaccinated and neutered. We are using cookies to give you the best experience on our website.

About Shelby

What life with Shelby looks like

Shelby is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at RSPCA Altrincham & Cheshire 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 Shelby, answered.

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