Smokey & Squeak

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 12 years

Meet Smokey and Squeak, an incredibly special older pair who are searching for a quiet, loving home where they can spend their golden years together. This sweet mum-and-son duo share a deep bond and must be rehomed as a pair. Smokey is the grey cat and is almost 12 years old. Smokey has a cleft lip, which gives her a unique and endearing look, but it doesn’t stop her from enjoying life or being the lovely companion she is. Smokey can be timid to begin with, but once she gets to know you she is super affectionate and can hardly stay still as she just wants to get pets and let you know how much she loves you! Squeak is just over 9 and is the black and white boy! He is very big, almost doubling Smokey's size! He is more timid than Smokey, but loves pets when he gets to know you. They have been roaming the countryside most of their lives before they came into our care and would love this to continue. They would need a rural home that has safe outdoor access for them to continue their exploring! Due to their initial nervousness, they would prefer to go to an adult only home, or one with older, calm teenagers. Older cats often get overlooked, but Smokey and Squeak have so much love left to give. They don’t ask for much-just comfort, patience, and kindness. In return, they’ll offer companionship, warmth, and the unique joy that only a bonded pair can bring.

About Smokey & Squeak

What life with Smokey & Squeak looks like

Smokey & Squeak is a large senior mixed breed cat waiting at Assisi Animal Sanctuary in United Kingdom.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇧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 Smokey & Squeak, answered.

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