Crunchie

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 5 years

Hi, I’m Crunchie, I’m sadly looking for a new home as I wasn’t getting on with the other cats in my previous home. If you would like to know more about me, please read on! My personality: I’m a big bruiser of a boy, but my personality is as soft as my chubby cheeks! I need a little time to get to know new people and can initially give a little hiss when I’m not sure, but once I’ve got to know you, I’m such a sweet and friendly boy and I’m very loved by the staff and volunteers here! I’m a total lap cat and love to spend time in the company of those that I know well, I have a big purr and love to stretch out when I’m getting fusses; I also will gently lick faces and arms when I’m happy and enjoying fusses. I can be picked up for cuddles and will occasionally let you rub my tummy in short bursts, but beware, I do dribble when I’m getting fusses as I enjoy them so much! Children: I have previously lived with children and could live with older sensible children if they’re gentle with me. Other animals: I need to be the only pet in my new home so that I can have all of the attention to myself! I wouldn’t like to live with other cats as I will fight with them. I’ve not met dogs, but as I can be shy, I wouldn’t like to live them either. Additional needs: In my new home, I will need a secure garden where I can be safely contained with either a catio, or cat proofed fence as I’m a flu carrier. These preventative measures need to be in place to prevent me from passing the virus to other cats. I’m a very clever boy and have learnt to use my cat flap here at Raystede, so I would be able to access my special outside area via a cat flap to come and go as I please. Could I be your purrfect companion? Love from, Crunchie xxx

About Crunchie

What life with Crunchie looks like

Crunchie is a large adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Raystede Centre in Ringmer.

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 Crunchie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Crunchie?: 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 Crunchie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Crunchie 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 Crunchie 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 Crunchie 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 Crunchie 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.
