Chandler

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 1 year

Personality:Chandler finds the cattery environment a little overwhelming. He can often be found up at height in his outdoor run so he can watch everything that’s happening. When it’s quiet he likes to curl up and have a little snooze. We are currently using a hands off approach whilst he settles and this will need to be continued in his new home to help Chandler settle and ensure he feels respected and listened to. His previous owner has stated he was an affectionate cat in his previous home, we’re hoping this will come in time on his terms and when he feels ready. Behaviour:Chandler is growing in confidence everyday and will happily explore his unit to seek out either food or toys to play with, they never appear to be where we left them! When we are in his presence he can be quite relaxed around us. Most recently he’s felt brave enough to come out on the cattery floor to have a little explore. He is going to need patient owners in his new home. Once settled, we’re hoping his character will show. 3 months post adoption behaviour support will be provided. Housing:Chandler does prefer the safety of his unit and finds new surroundings a little scary. For this reason he will need his own unused room to initially settle in and to keep as his safe space, before exploring the rest of the property, and eventually a private garden. Chandler cannot be homed in Lymington, SO41 area. Children/pets:Chandler needs an adult only home and to be the only pet in the property. Vet history:Chandler is neutered, microchipped, flea, wormed and fully vaccinated. Chandler has a grade 1 heart murmur. He has no other known medical conditions. 4 weeks free pet insurance included with adoption. Adoption fee:The adoption fee is £100. If you would like to make an additional donation over and above the adoption fee, this would be hugely appreciated.

About Chandler

What life with Chandler looks like

Chandler is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark 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 Chandler, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Chandler?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Chandler on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Chandler if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Chandler 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 Chandler 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 Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark early rather than rehoming privately; they know Chandler 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.
