Mowgli

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 6 years

Personality:Mowgli came into our care after being abandoned by his previous owners several years ago. A lovely neighbour looked out for him during this time but due to a change in circumstances they were no longer able to continue to. Mowgli can find the confinements of the cattery environment stressful and he can be hyper vigilant and noise sensitive to his surroundings due to the other cats in the environment and his past experiences with them. Throughout all this he has shown he loves human company. Behaviour:Mowgli can be very social towards people and enjoys their companionship. He is very responsive when we call his name, trotting over to see us to jump up on our lap, he would happily sit there all day if he could, purring and paddy pawing whilst initiating some gentle strokes. Due to Mowgli’s past, he doesn’t always know how to channel his emotions and has redirected his frustration onto staff. For this reason, he is looking for experienced cat owners who know how to read cat behaviours. We believe with choice and control over his surroundings he will thrive.3 months post adoption support will be provided by our onsite Cattery Behaviourist.

For this reason, he is looking for experienced cat owners who know how to read cat behaviours. We believe with choice and control over his surroundings he will thrive. Housing:Due to our observations onsite, Mowgli is looking for either a large room in a house with easy access to a private garden via a cat flap; or a safe, secure and sheltered shed/garage/summer house in a garden, in a low cat populated area. It is recommended his adopters initially use a hands off approach whilst he is settling and learning to trust them, and follow a predictable routine. It is likely, once settled, fully relaxed in his new environment, and with the freedom to come and go as he pleases, he will choose to live a more conventional lifestyle in the home. Children/pets:Mowgli needs to be homed to adults only and to a household with no other pets. It is essential he is adopted to a low cat populated area as he has a strong dislike to them due to his history. Vet history:Mowgli is neutered, microchipped, flea, wormed and will be fully vaccinated. Mowgli has no known medical conditions. 4 weeks free pet insurance included with adoption.

About Mowgli

What life with Mowgli looks like

Mowgli is a large 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 Mowgli, answered.

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