George

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 5 years

Personality:Everyone who meets George can’t help but fall in love with him. He settled straight away in the cattery environment making friends with everyone he meets. You will quite often find George snoozing on the top of his scratching post in his outdoor run or catching some rays and listening to the birds; although if he hears you approaching his unit he will be straight inside to say hello. Behaviour:George loves being around people and is a very social boy, which is why he is affectionately known as Gorgeous George. As soon as you sit down he loves nothing more than cuddling up on staff and volunteers laps. He also has a playful side, he enjoys playing with a variety of toys and chasing balls up and down the cattery floor. George has such a beautiful character and will make a lovely addition to the home. Housing:George will need a home with outside access to a garden. He cannot be homed in Southampton, SO18 area. Children/pets:George could live with older aged primary school children who will understand he is not a toy. He will need to be an only pet as he didn’t cope living with cats in his previous home. Vet history:George is neutered, microchipped, flea, wormed and fully vaccinated. When George came into our care he was suffering with fur loss which bloods tests confirmed is likely to have been due to a heavy parasite burden. After flea treatment and a short course of steroids to help with the itchiness, George’s fur has nearly all grown back and he is much more comfortable. It is recommended that George has vet prescribed flea and worming treatment each month to hopefully prevent any future flare ups of his skin. 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. Additional information:All rented and leasehold properties will require written consent from the property owner or agent. This needs to be in place before completing an application form. If your application is successful, staff will request a copy.We reserve the right to remove a reserve at any stage of the adoption process if we believe it is in the best interest of the cat.Adopters should consider that previous medical conditions will now not be covered by insurance.

About George

What life with George looks like

George is a 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 George, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about George?
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 George on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt George 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is George 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 George 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 George 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.
