Jack

Mixed Breed Cat ยท Male ยท Young ยท 2 years

๐Ÿพ Jack needs somewhere to call home where he can feel part of everyday life. Jack loves to watch television and enjoy his favourite cat games on a tablet. He can be shy around new people and may need time to understand that he is safe. Once he trusts you, he is affectionate, playful and full of personality. He loves cuddles, toys, television and simply having someone nearby. Jack is generally well in himself, but he has experienced intermittent gastrointestinal problems. He is on a strict hypoallergenic diet, which has significantly improved his symptoms and must continue. He has also tested positive for feline coronavirus. This cannot be passed to humans, but it means he must be the only animal in the home until he receives a negative test result. This can take between two and ten months, and Jack is expected to be retested in approximately seven months. Because Jack can give playful little nibbles when he becomes bored or overexcited, he cannot live with young children. Jack needs: ๐Ÿก A foster-to-adopt placement ๐Ÿ  An indoor-only home ๐Ÿšซ No other animals ๐Ÿ‘ถ No young children โฐ Someone who is home regularly and can give him plenty of company ๐Ÿฅฃ Someone able to continue his strict hypoallergenic diet ๐ŸคŽ A patient person who will allow him to settle at his own pace We are desperate to find Jack a home. Jack does not need a perfect home. He needs someone who can offer him time, patience. Please, if you could foster Jack with a view to adopting him, get in touch.

About Jack

What life with Jack looks like

Jack is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at StraySafe Rescue 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 โ€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งAdopting 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 Jack, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jack?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. StraySafe Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jack on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jack if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” StraySafe Rescue 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Jack 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Jack isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with StraySafe Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jack 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 โ€” 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.
