Coco

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Senior · 14 years

Hello, my name is Coco, and I am looking for my new forever home. I was sadly surrendered to Raystede due to my previous owners having a change of circumstances and no longer being able to care for me. I would love to find a new retirement home where I can relax and receive lots of love for my golden years. My personality: I am very friendly and affectionate, I love to have a lap to sit on and enjoy being groomed. I am quite timid so would prefer a quiet household with people who can understand my gentle nature. I'll make the perfect companion for someone looking for a cuddly cat to keep you company. Children: I could live with older, sensible teenagers, or in an adult only home. Other animals: I am scared of dogs and don't get on well with other cats so would prefer to be the only pet in the home. Additional needs: I have never been outside before so I would love to have a garden that I can explore and call my own. It is not likely that I will wander far or hunt, but as the outside will be new for me it would be good to be away from busy roads. I could also live in an indoor-only home. I have a heart murmur which does not currently require any treatment but will need monitoring, especially as I get older. Could you offer me my purrfect new home? Love Coco xxx

About Coco

What life with Coco looks like

Coco is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Raystede Centre in Ringmer.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇧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 Coco, answered.

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