How do I contact the shelter about Henry?

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 Henry on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Henry 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 Henry 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 Henry 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 Henry 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.

Henry

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Senior · 11 years

MaleDomestic short hair11 years old (dob 05/11/2014)Arrived 18th February [214 days ago]Being looked after in Rode HeathLog no. PC150 15/06/15We realise not everyone is in a position to adopt a companion, so why not take a look at our virtual adoption scheme …..Henry is a very handsome boy indeed-just look at that cheeky face and those unusual markings! HISTORY:He came into RSPCA care back in 2015 as a kitten, via an Inspector, as his elderly owners were not able to cope. He was placed in a home by another couple but was returned after a few weeks for the same reason. He had lived with the RSPCA Inspector for a couple of weeks and he’d been good as gold and while he was in our cattery he was great! He was already neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated. He was adopted successfully but…Your browser does not support HTML5 video.CURRENT SITUATION:Unbelievably, Henry, aka “The Boss,” has been returned after 11 years because his now elderly owners are struggling with health problems. In fairness to them, they have looked after Henry extremely well.He cannot be rehomed with children or elderly folk. He will need lots of enrichment to channel his rambunctious energy and he LOVES the great outdoors. He is a very territorial tom and has been in and out of the vets over the years for fight related abscesses. A rural home (too many cats in residential areas) is required. So, if you want a tom, full of character, and who will keep you on your toes – this is the cat for you! Be aware though…he will be interviewing you, not the other way round and we think he’ll probably be antisocial when you visit. PLEASE NOTE he does have an affectionate side to him too! Henry…routine is very important for him. When he trusts you and knows what you are going to do and when, he is absolutely fine. If you start doing something different, he’s immediately on the defensive. Very much I’ll get you before you get me. He’s a very intelligent cat and needs lots to keep his brain thinking, we have puzzle feeders and treat balls which he loves! He is absolutely the boss! Any other biting seems to come from being overstimulated from petting or doing something he just doesn’t want to do (e.g. when he doesn’t want brushing, he tells you!!!). He is so much calmer since being on the Thyronorm, it just goes in his food and he eats it no problem! We have removed the cist pictured, tested negative for FIV/FeLV, he had a dental as he had a badly broken tooth, and has had his annual booster. Update July: Henry has diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and is on medication which goes in his food.If you’d be interested in sharing your home with Henry, please complete an application form.

About Henry

What life with Henry looks like

Henry is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire and Buxton in United Kingdom.

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.
