Adopt Silva

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

by Cattery | May 14, 2026 | Cats, Liverpool, Male, Cats, Liverpool, Male This handsome boy has unfortunately returned to our rescue after previously being adopted. Sadly, he and his adopter weren’t able to bond and so Silva is looking for another forever home. Silva is a very shy cat who hasn’t wanted to interact much whilst he is in the cattery. Whilst in his previous home, he showed signs that he can come around. He will need someone who has a lot of patience and understanding. Silva likes to interact on his own terms and will tell you off if you push past his boundaries. In his previous home, he did interact with his adopter and was chatting to them and rubbing against them as well as sharing the room with them so this is something to look forward to when bringing him home. With plenty of time and space, we believe Silva will come to like whoever gives him the chance he needs. Due to Silva’s personality, we wish for him to go to a home with no other pets. He is also best in a home with no children.Silva has had previous outdoor access and will require the ability to go outdoors once his settling period ends.

About Silva

What life with Silva looks like

Silva is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Freshfields Animal Rescue in Liverpool.

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 Silva, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Silva?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Freshfields Animal 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 — Freshfields Animal 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 Freshfields Animal 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.
