Henry

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 7 years

Personality:Henry is a chatty and friendly boy who enjoys spending time with his socialisers. He quickly makes his way over and will greet you with a head bump on your hand. Although he is a little shy, he is curious and reassured by having company with people. Onsite staff let Henry initiate hands on interactions to avoid overstimulation. Behaviour:Henry loves his cozy igloo bed to rest in when undisturbed. When his socialisers approach his unit he often starts chatting, and sometimes the occasional hiss if he’s unsure. It’s not long before he is then asking for attention either by nudging your hands or reaching his paw out and gently tapping you. He leans in for the fuss and does like to roll over at times too. Housing:Henry does get easily spooked when out exploring the cattery floor and will run back to his unit where he feels safe, so for this reason he would benefit from his own unused room to initially settle in before exploring the rest of the property, and eventually a garden. He cannot be homed in so14. Children/pets:Due to his nervous nature, Henry will need to be the only pet in an adult only household Vet history:Henry is neutered, microchipped, flea and wormed. His second vaccination is due between 28/10/26 – 3/11/26 at the shelter and the cost is included in the adoption fee. Henry has no known medical conditions. He is currently on some skin and coat supplements to help improve his coat due to poor living conditions prior to the cattery. 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.

About Henry

What life with Henry looks like

Henry is an 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 Henry, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Henry?: 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 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 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark 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.
