Male Β· Kitten Β· 5 months

Meet Xander 🐾 Xander is a gorgeous 5-month-old kitten who is sweet, affectionate, and loves spending time with people. He is a lovely boy who enjoys attention and is looking for a calm, caring home where he can continue to grow in confidence.

About Xander

What life with Xander looks like

Xander is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Cotswolds Dogs and Cats Home 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 β€” most shelters arrange this before adoption.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Xander, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Xander?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cotswolds Dogs and Cats Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Xander on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Xander if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Cotswolds Dogs and Cats Home 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 Xander 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Xander isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Cotswolds Dogs and Cats Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Xander 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 β€” 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.
