Shiny

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Adult · 10 years

Age: 10 years Sex: Female Breed: DSH Colour: Tabby & White About me: Shiny is a very shy but super sweet lady who finds comfort in a sheltered spot on her cat tower. As she settles in, she’s becoming more curious about what’s going on around her and will approach for gentle strokes when you’re nearby. Shiny is a larger lady who is currently on a diet. Cats: Pending assessment. Dogs: No. Children: 15 years and over. Ideal home: Shiny is looking for a quiet home where she can enjoy affection at her own pace. She would benefit from owners who can resist her beautiful big eyes and help her maintain a healthy weight. Apply to adopt: Please fill out an application form found on our website www.stfrancisanimalwelfare.co.uk/cats and email it to us at . We are only able to respond to successful applications.

About Shiny

What life with Shiny looks like

Shiny is a large adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at St Francis Animal Welfare 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 Shiny, answered.

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