Sylvia

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Sylvia is also really brave in the face of adversity. A month into her foster placement, she suffered from a prolapse, a couple of reprolapses and required surgery. She requires lactulose with her food twice daily to prevent another prolapse for the rest of her life, but the vets assured us that she should do really well. She is otherwise healthy and ready for her furever home! She is an indoor cat who would be happy with access to a cat-proof balcony or secure catio where she can still be monitored, and any unintended ingestion of unapproved materials can be avoided. As she loves being around her humans, she would do well in a calm, loving home where she can be the centre of attention. Sylvia’s Details What is the colour of this cat?

About Sylvia

What life with Sylvia looks like

Sylvia is a small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Feline Friends London 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 Sylvia, answered.

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