Bob

British Shorthair · Male · Adult · 8 years

Hi Bob here...... yes I am a stunning boy...... I came to YCR because I have been suffering with stress cystitis, this was because of my brothers, then we all started fighting and that just made it worse..... I am on medication for this and my family tried everything to help me, even a behaviourist ...... but it didn't help. So even though they didn't want too, they have given me up so I can find a stress free home. I need to be honest, I may have accidents for a while so I will need a quiet home with an understanding owner where I can settle in. To start with I will need a room of my own for a few weeks so I can start to feel safe and I will need multiple litter trays too. The ladies at YCR will be screening all the applications as I need an experienced owner, someone that has had a cat that has suffered with this problem before. If you have a home with no other pets, no children and you have had experience with a cat who has suffered from stress cystitis then please apply for me now and leave some comments about your experience with cats that like me that need a stress free home........ My adoption fee of £450.... is a bit higher than the average cat adoption but this is because there are some bad people out there who would adopt me and then try to sell me on to make a profit.

About Bob

What life with Bob looks like

Bob is a medium-sized adult british shorthair cat waiting at Yorkshire Cat Rescue 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 Bob, answered.

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