Adopt Mr Pickles

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Young · 2 years

This handsome black cat is on the lookout for a loving new home to call his own. Mr Pickles was sadly relinquished to a vets when his previous owner could no longer afford his upkeep, and he eventually made his way into our care. Despite the changes he’s faced, he’s remained an affectionate boy with a truly wonderful personality. We’re lead to believe that Mr Pickles has only ever been an indoor cat. However, if he were to show signs of wanting to explore the outside world in the future, his new home would need to be happy to allow him safe outdoor access, to come and go as he pleases. Mr Pickles is now ready to leave his past behind and find a family who will love him forever. If you’re looking for a friendly companion with lots of affection to give, Mr Pickles could be the perfect match for you 🐾

About Mr Pickles

What life with Mr Pickles looks like

Mr Pickles is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Thornberry 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 Mr Pickles, answered.

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