Kale

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Puppy

This is Kale. Aka, Spidercat. He was originally born outside with 3 other siblings. Though since around the age of 6/7 weeks old, he has been growing up in one of brilliant foster homes. Now older and slightly wiser, he has come on in leaps and bounds. Below is what our fosterer has said. Kale loves to climb, hence the nickname, and run around, he will play with anything and is very food/treat orientated. He likes to sleep under blankets or cushions and then surprise you by jumping out and chirruping. He can be jumpy with loud noises and will take some time to settle in a new home but he loves a fuss and lying next to you, showing his tummy and purring. With some time and patience he will be a very loving cat. We recommend Kale having a room of his own for the settling in period. And to be given lots of time and patience to acclimatize and settle. Once ready he’d love a garden of his own to explore. Kale also seems to get on with other cats, so he may like a friend to live with. Thank you!

About Kale

What life with Kale looks like

Kale is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat dog waiting at RSPCA Brighton & The Heart of Sussex in United Kingdom.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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 Kale, answered.

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