Rescue tortoiseshell cats for adoption and rehoming in and around Pembrokeshire

As of 8 November 2026, no tortoiseshell cats are listed for adoption in and around Pembrokeshire on LocalPetFinder. Rescues add animals all the time, so this page fills as they list them.

Nearly always. Cats Protection says nearly all tortoiseshell cats are female. The rescue's profile will say whether a particular tortie is male or female.

Very rarely. Cats Protection says a male tortoiseshell would need an extra chromosome, two X chromosomes and a Y, which is extremely rare. Male cats can usually only be ginger or not ginger.

Each rescue sets its own adoption fee. Cats Protection says you can expect to pay £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten, varying between its branches, and Blue Cross fees start from £150 for cats aged 4 months to 7 years. The fee usually covers neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations, and each rescue confirms its own fee.

No. We don't list animals for sale. Every tortoiseshell on this page is with a rescue or rehoming centre. Rescues rehome animals rather than selling them, usually for an adoption fee: for example, Cats Protection says £80 to £120 on average for an adult cat and £100 to £120 for a kitten. The fee usually goes towards vet work already done, such as neutering, microchipping and first vaccinations.

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations.

An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue.
