Adopt Kimon

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Senior · 11 years

Personality:Kimon came into our care due to his owner sadly passing away. He settled quickly in the cattery environment and makes friends easily. Kimon will occasionally sit on staffs laps but loves nothing more than lying close to you. He is happy pottering around the cattery floor but will often check in for some gentle strokes. Kimon would love his new owner or owners to be around a lot of the time. Behaviour:As much as Kimon is a slightly older gentleman looking for a calm and peaceful home, he will still have a funny 5 minutes playing with some of his toys, his long stick toy and fish being his favourites which he can get very animated with! Once he’s worn himself out he will find the sunny spot in the cattery and lay on his back catching some rays. Housing:Kimon will need a calm and quiet home with outside access to a private garden. He cannot be homed in the PO16 or SO51 areas. Children/pets:Kimon will need an adult only home as he did not cope living with children in one of his previous homes, he choose to move in with an elderly couple where he was much happier. He cannot live with other cats or dogs, as he showed disliking to neighbouring cats in the previous home so we feel he would prefer to be an only pet Vet history:Kimon is neutered, microchipped, flea, wormed and fully vaccinated. Kimon has no known medical conditions. 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.

If your application is successful, staff will request a copy.We reserve the right to remove a reserve at any stage of the adoption process if we believe it is in the best interest of the cat.Adopters should consider that previous medical conditions will now not be covered by insurance.

About Kimon

What life with Kimon looks like

Kimon is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Kimon, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kimon?
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 Kimon on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kimon 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Kimon 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 Kimon 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 Kimon 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.
