Boris

Mixed Breed · Male

He is chipped, neutered, very well behaved, and in good health. Don’t be fooled by his fluffy coat – he doesn’t shed as much as you’d think! He likes having his curly tummy scratched and goes limp when picked up and doesn’t seem to mind at all being held. He’s kind of the dream cat for a cat lover. Although he’s very loving and needs more attention than your average cat, he has settled into a routine of being left alone during weekdays from 9-5 but he’s always waiting for a cuddle. He’s still quite playful despite his age, but also has a shy temperament and would not do well in a home with young children, dogs or multiple cats. Being able to access a garden via a cat flap is an absolute must. He spends a lot of the time in summer rolling about in the sun, but never strays very far. His ideal cat-parent is someone who likes to be at home or works from home often, who is settled in their living situation, and is looking for a companion. If you think you can offer home the right home where he’ll be happy and loved, please get in touch! Please note that home checks and adoption fee apply.

About Boris

What life with Boris looks like

Boris is a medium-sized adult mixed breed cat waiting at Stokey Cats and Dogs 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 Boris, answered.

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