Adopt Jinx

Mixed Breed · Male

Jinx is a very special lad! He came into our care from a vet after he was handed in as a stray. He’s had a tough life on the streets, being beaten up; he’s a lover, not a fighter. Sadly, being an entire male brings many battles over territory and breeding rights. As a result of all the battles, Jinx has been left to face the consequences; he has FIV , Herpes Virus & Calicivirus . But this doesn't stop him from being the most adorable cat you will ever meet! All Jinx wants is to be loved, oh and a lap to sleep on! He will hold you hostage for as long as possible, so make sure you have a cuppa and the remote control at the ready before you sit down! He is currently undergoing staged dentals, as it’s likely he will need to have all his teeth removed. Rather than keeping him in the cattery, we would love nothing more than for him to be in his new home with his adoring family. OAS will cover the cost of the remaining dentals; his treatment will take place at Hart Vets in Bicester. We know this is a lot to ask of an adopter, but he really deserves a chance to shine!

About Jinx

What life with Jinx looks like

Jinx is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary 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 Jinx, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Jinx?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Jinx on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Jinx if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary 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 Jinx 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 Jinx 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 Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Jinx 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.
