Bertie (was Dozey)

Mixed Breed Cat Β· Male Β· Young Β· 1 year

Dozey is a super friendly boy with lots of love to give πŸ’› He absolutely enjoys a fuss and a gentle groom, and once he’s happy, his loud purrs quickly let you know just how content he is.Although he can be a little unsure in new surroundings at first, with calm reassurance and patience he soon begins to settle and show his lovely personality. Dozey is comfortable meeting new people and enjoys spending his days relaxing up high in his favourite bed, peacefully watching the world go by.True to his name, Dozey is a big fan of cat naps and cosy snoozes! He can be quite vocal at times and lets you know when he’s feeling unsure by swishing his tail around quickly, so he would benefit from owners who understand cat body language and can give him reassurance when needed.Dozey would prefer not to live with a dog but may be able to live with another calm cat following careful introductions. He is a sweet, affectionate boy who would make a wonderful companion in the right home.

About Bertie (was Dozey)

What life with Bertie (was Dozey) looks like

Bertie (was Dozey) is a large young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Cornwall Branch in Saint Columb.

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 β€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Bertie (was Dozey), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Bertie (was Dozey)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Cornwall Branch handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Bertie (was Dozey) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Bertie (was Dozey) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” RSPCA Cornwall Branch 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 Bertie (was Dozey) 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Bertie (was Dozey) isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with RSPCA Cornwall Branch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bertie (was Dozey) 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 (the shelter's own language). Translation is imperfect β€” 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.
