How do I contact the shelter about Oscar?

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 Oscar on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Oscar 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 Oscar 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 Oscar 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 Oscar 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.

Oscar

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten

Personality:Oscar is a fun lively character with lots of energy to burn off. He enjoys spending time with his socialisers, having some fuss or engaging in playtime. Behaviour:Oscar comes over to see his socialisers and will head bump into hands. He purrs and sometimes paddy paws. He quite often gets on your lap and flops onto his side and then continues to rolls about. He likes to have a run around and chase after toys but continues to check in with his people. Housing:Oscar will need a home with outside access to a garden. As Oscar is still a young kitten, his adopters must at home for majority of the day. He cannot be homed in Gosport PO13 area. Children/pets:Oscar could possibly live with a dog who is used to the presence of cats and will be accepting of a kitten with high energy levels. Due to on site observations, we believe that Oscar would be happier as an only cat. He could live with any aged children pending a successful meet at the shelter. Whilst we believe Oscar to be comfortable around young children, they should be supervised at all times Vet history:Oscar is neutered, microchipped, flea and wormed. His second vaccination is due between 3/9/26 – 10/9/26 at the shelter and the cost is included in the adoption fee. Oscar has no known medical conditions. 4 weeks free pet insurance included with adoption. Adoption fee:The adoption fee is £120. If you would like to make an additional donation over and above the adoption fee, this would be hugely appreciated.

About Oscar

What life with Oscar looks like

Oscar is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark in United Kingdom.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇬🇧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.
