Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 2 months

Socks is a black and white tuxedo kitten who is 11weeks old. He came into RSPCA care at 4 days old with his mum and his siblings, after he was born in a member of the public’s shed. Socks is a confident boy, he will bound over to greet you, meowing loudly, especially if you bring food. He loves to play with his stick toys, and will spend hours chasing a feather wand. He is loving and friendly and when tired, loves snuggling up with his humans for a nap. Socks is litter trained, flea treated and wormed. He will be ready for adoption toward from the 3rd November, by which time he will have been neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. He has been fostered in a home with young children, is used to regular handling by adults and children, and would be fine to live with children of any age; especially ones who enjoy playing with him. When older he would love a safe outdoor space to explore. We are using cookies to give you the best experience on our website.

About Socks

What life with Socks looks like

Socks is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at RSPCA Altrincham & Cheshire 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 Socks, answered.

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