Adopt Alex

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 8 years

Alex is a handsome 8-year-old gentleman with the perfect mix of charm, affection, and laid-back vibes. A true “classy” companion, Alex loves nothing more than snoozing in a cosy spot, spending time with his favourite people, and enjoying the simple things in life.Although he’s a big fan of naps, Alex still enjoys exploring and would love a home where he can safely venture outside before returning for sofa cuddles and company. He’s a real people-cat who thrives on attention and would suit someone who is around for much of the day.Alex could live with primary school-aged children and may also be able to share his home with another cat or a cat-friendly dog, making him a lovely addition to many different families.He has such a sweet nature and so much love to give. Whether he’s curled up beside you for a nap or following you around for attention, Alex simply wants to be part of someone’s world.Sweet, social, and full of personality, Alex is ready to find a forever home where he can finally relax, explore, and be loved the way he deserves.

About Alex

What life with Alex looks like

Alex is a large adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Cornwall Branch in Saint Columb.

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 Alex, answered.

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