Tinker

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Meet Tinker and Millie. This pair of 13 year old cats are recently bereaved when their owner with whom they have lived since they were kittens passed away. They are not siblings but have always lived together and formed a close bond as kittens, so they would very much like to stay together. They enjoy sitting and relaxing with you on the sofa. Tinker is an all black boy who likes his creature comforts! He is friendly and laid back and enjoys going in the garden but doesn't wander far. He can enjoy a nice lap to sit on! Millie is a black and white female and is a bit nervous so needs to be with Tinker. Once she knows you and trusts you she will enjoy your company but doesn't like to sit on laps. She too enjoys going in the garden but doesn't wander far.OK with older childrenGarden requiredTinker has been neutered, microchipped and is fully vaccinated

About Tinker

What life with Tinker looks like

Tinker is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Hounslow Animal Welfare Society 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 Tinker, answered.

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