One trapping session later and all four were in our care – mother was neutered and returned to site and the kittens, weaned, stayed with us.All a little bit shy, they can be picked up, cuddled and purr in return – no hissing, biting or scratching but they are still a ‘work in progress’ so would be better placed with a family used to cats. Tips is the most confident and can be homed alone – ideally a quiet home where he can get oodles of attention and blossom in to the lovely cats we know he is.

All the kittens have used their tray reliably, are not fussy about food and have been healthy throughout our stay with us. They can be homed individually, better in pairs or best still, a triple. As with all our cats, Tips has been vaccinated, wormed, flead, microchipped, and neutered before homing. To help offset these costs we respectfully ask for a minimum donation of £125 per head towards the cost of veterinary treatment. All Silk Cats come with four weeks of complimentary PetPlan insurance – we recommend you consider arranging your own insurance at the end of the four weeks – there is a guide here: About Insurance READY for homing – if you’d like to adopt, please read the information here: ‘Our Homing Process’ and then complete a matchmaker/registration form email: : silkcatrescue.org.uk/adopttele

About Tips

What life with Tips looks like

Tips is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Silk Cat Rescue 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 is usually done around six months, so ask the shelter whether it has been arranged.

🇬🇧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 Tips, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tips?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Silk Cat Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tips on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tips if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Silk Cat Rescue whether they will for Tips, what they require (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 Tips already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Silk Cat Rescue lists Tips as vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Silk Cat Rescue, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Tips isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Silk Cat Rescue about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tips 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.
