Ozzy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 15 years

Ozzy is 15 years old but age is only a number 🙂 Ozzy went to the vets and had a full blood test and check-up done and the results are great! He has only early-stage kidney disease which is normal for older/senior cats but he doesn’t require any medications. His diet should be wet food for senior cats. Ozzy’s foster parent says about Ozzy: “He seeks out affection but very much on his own terms. It’s taken a few months before he’s actually laid on top of me during cuddle time, whereas he usually prefers to be next to you, not on top. He’s super calm and sleeps a lot, but when he’s up he’s very clear, surprisingly agile, and often chatty. He LOVES under the chin scratches, loves cans of tuna, and sleeping on my clothes in my cupboard. He also is a creature of habit and schedule. Not that he yells at me when it’s food time, but more that he knows when it’s evening cuddle time, when it’s sleep time, when it’s wake up time, etc. He’s also really smart. Because he drinks so much water sometimes he’ll drink the bowl empty before I have a chance to fill it up. When this happens he goes into the bathroom (the only time he ever really does), sits in the bath and meows. That means he wants more water. He’s a fascinating lil fellow who I wouldn’t have guessed is as old as he is.

About Ozzy

What life with Ozzy looks like

Ozzy is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Stokey Cats and Dogs 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 Ozzy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ozzy?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stokey Cats and Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ozzy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ozzy if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stokey Cats and Dogs 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ozzy 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 Ozzy 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 Stokey Cats and Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ozzy 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.
