Lana

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Adult · 4 years

Personality:Lana is an affectionate girl and enjoys spending time with her socialisers. She headbutts and rubs against their hand for some fuss and often reaches her paws out towards you. She finds the cattery environment stressful and is quite worried by surrounding sounds which she will sometimes have a little grumble at. Behaviour:Lana will jump on socialisers laps and ask for attention. She hasn’t yet settled down on a lap but she will quite often settled next to them on a nearby shelf to rest her eyes. She will roll around the floor and rub against their legs. At times she can be show interest in her toys but she isn’t brave enough to play. When she get’s overstimulated she can sometimes give socialisers a gentle nip so we have introduced a grooming glove that she can brush against. Housing:Lana does prefer the safety of her unit and finds new surroundings a little scary, so for this reason she would benefit from a quiet area of the house to initially settle in before exploring the rest of the property, and eventually a garden. She cannot be homed in Christchurch area. Children/pets:Lana will need to be the only pet in an adult only household. Vet history:Lana is neutered, microchipped, flea and wormed. Her second vaccination is due between 25/8/26 -31/8/26 at the shelter and the cost is included in the adoption fee. Lana 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.

About Lana

What life with Lana looks like

Lana is a 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 Lana, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lana?
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 Lana on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lana 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 Lana 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 Lana 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 Lana 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.
