Shell

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 3 months

Sex: Male Age: 3 Months Colour: Black and white Location: Exeter Available from: 1st November Mermaid, Seaweed and Shell came to us from a shipwreck, well, actually from a barn in Devon. They missed a bit of early socialisation so they were very scared when they arrived spending a lot of time hissing and hiding. Since they've been in a foster home they have warmed up a lot and are now playful and happy kittens. Shell is definitely the most playful out of his siblings. He loves to chase his toys and seems to have a peculiar fondness for collecting ballpoint pens. When he's finished playing he loves a pet and a cuddle, as long as his owner is understanding that he doesn't always remember to pull his claws back in! Shell would love to go to his forever home with his sisters, or to a house with a resident cat friendly cat. Info Shell has been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He has tested negative for FIV and FeLV and has been treated for parasites. He comes with 5 weeks free insurance! -b5cc21476f8e4f17c11f { --stroke-style: none;--stroke-thickness: 6px; } -b5cc21476f8e4f17c11f -b5cc21476f8e4f17c11f { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } -b5cc21476f8e4f17c11f { --tweak-text-block-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } -b5cc21476f8e4f17c11f { } Apply -544392a06ed843d9e43b { --sqs-block-content-flex: 0; } Donate -c747fd847d3ce12fe16a { --sqs-block-content-flex: 0; }

About Shell

What life with Shell looks like

Shell is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Silth 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 Shell, answered.

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