How do I contact the shelter about Charlie?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Charlie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Charlie if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton 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 Charlie 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 Charlie 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 Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton early rather than rehoming privately; they know Charlie 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.

Sadly Charlie missed out on veterinary care for several months.Charlie is a sensitive, affectionate little soul who loves a head scratch. He’s had a hard life previously. He was very snuffly and with antibiotics cleared up; he is not currently on any medication but he may have future flare ups particularly if he gets stressed. When he arrived back with us this time, he was underweight, he urgently needed a dental resulting in seven extractions, also conjunctivitis so the multiple vet trips and having to give him medications has knocked his confidence but he is settling again now. We suspect that he is mostly deaf now. He has a rather loud, croaky meow! He loves his food! once he gains your trust, he is a very loyal and affectionate older gentleman who we can see would probably follow you around the house. He does have the occasional zoomie! A crinkly tinsel toy is his favourite but he is full of energy for a while afterwards 😂HISTORYOriginally arrived April 2024.Charlie had been a stray at a nursing home for four years. He became very poorly so the RSPCA were called. He was in a terrible state. His eyes and nose were gunky, he was badly matted and needed several teeth extracted. He struggled to breath too. He spent a few weeks in isolation at the lovely cattery we use where he received lots of TLC. Then he moved to a lovely foster home where he spent several months receiving further care and treatment for flu, including a nebuliser.He was already neutered. He’s been FIV/FeLV tested negative, microchipped and vaccinated. He needs a pet free home, older children would be fine. A home where he can explore the outdoors safely and securely because of his lack of hearing.If you’d be interested in sharing your home with Charlie, please fill out an application form.

About Charlie

What life with Charlie looks like

Charlie is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton 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.
