Otis

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Senior · 15 years

Sweet Otis is a fighter! Not in the traditional sense - you won’t see this boy scrapping, and his claws are purely ornamental - but with everything life has thrown at him, you’d have forgiven Otis for being angry, scared, or even just a bit grouchy. But Otis is consistently gentle and brave. When he came into our care, he was suffering from a severe infection in his teeth and jaw which had progressed into the bone. Estimated to be around 15 years old, when he should have been curled up in a comfy bed with a full tummy, Otis was instead drooling and in pain. But our Otis laughs in the face of adversity. Now, Otis doesn’t have two teeth to rub together and he is immeasurably happier for it. Otis’ hobbies include gumming his mashed food to death, cuddling, and playing with ping pong balls with all the enthusiasm of a cat 14 years younger. Otis is looking for a home and lap to call his own, ideally with someone who will be around a lot of the time to shower him in affection and prove to him that life really can be good at any age. For his portfolio, Otis has asked if he can show you all the amazing dental work he’s had done, and also his favourite red ping pong ball - and how could we say no to that face! In summary: Otis has no teeth, purrs like a tractor, and wants to spend the rest of his life with someone who will mash his food and give him forehead kisses. If you think that could be you, please apply below:

About Otis

What life with Otis looks like

Otis is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch 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 Otis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Otis?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Otis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Otis if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch 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 Otis 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 Otis 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 Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Otis 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.
