Wellington & Nellie

Unknown · 11 months

top of pageWellington & NellieShareOur tabby workers! Wellington & Nellie – Gorgeous Tabby Siblings Seeking a Working Home We have a beautiful pair of tabby cats, Wellington and Nellie, who are looking for something a little different — a safe, outdoor working home such as a livery yard, farm, or stable. These two are brother and sister, nearly a year old, and both have been neutered, microchipped, and fully flea and worm treated. They were born outdoors in a garden and, despite every effort, they’ve made it quite clear that indoor life just isn’t for them. They’re still very wary of people and prefer to keep their distance — but they’re in excellent health and would absolutely thrive in the right outdoor setup. Wellie has, however, made some progress whilst in our care and will accept tentative strokes and adorably, has made a friendship with another PawPurrs cat, Garfield. Given time and patience, we hope Nellie will follow his lead. ​ Wellington and Nellie would make fantastic working cats, helping to keep rodents at bay while living a peaceful, safe life. As a charity, we’re happy to provide full backup and support to get them settled — including crates for their six-week adjustment period, advice on setup, and ongoing guidance. It’s essential that they’re kept secure for a minimum of six weeks while they learn their new surroundings, and that they have a warm shelter, daily food, and fresh water available at all times. Once settled, they’ll be loyal little workers and a joy to have around your yard. I don’t take rehoming outdoor cats lightly, but in this case it truly is what’s best for them — they deserve a life where they can feel calm, free, and safe. I’m happy to help with transport within a few hours of Wigan if needed. If you have the perfect setup for Wellington and Nellie, please get in touch — we’d love to hear from you and help get them into their new forever environment. Message the page or contact Pawpurrs Halfway House directly. If you think you could be the right fit for Wellington & Nellie, please fill out our adoption enquiry form, and get in touch with us.bottom of page

About Wellington & Nellie

What life with Wellington & Nellie looks like

Wellington & Nellie is a adult cat waiting at PawPurrs Halfway House 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 Wellington & Nellie, answered.

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