Silva

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 3 months

My name is Silva and I need my new home! Found living outside with his mum & siblings and kindly fed by a member of the public until he was bought into rescue. Lots of playtime, fusses from his humans and at least one young cat or kitten pal. Silva is a little shy and skittish to start with, but it doesn’t take him long to come out of his shell. He’s partial to a soft dressing gown and loves to run around like his tail is on fire! Once he’s cuddled in with you he loves his belly tickles. Can I live with other cats? YES, THIS IS A MUST, but with a slow introduction. Can I live with other dogs? Untested Can I live with children? Yes Can I live indoors completely, or do I need access to outdoors? Either Minimum adoption donation: £140

About Silva

What life with Silva looks like

Silva is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Heronbank Cat Rescue 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 Silva, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Silva?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Heronbank Cat Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Silva on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Silva if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Heronbank 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Silva 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 Silva 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 Heronbank Cat Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Silva 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.
