Peter

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Senior · 11 years

Hello, my name is Peter and I am looking for my new forever home. I was sadly surrendered to Raystede due to a relationship breakdown. Could you offer me my new purrfect home? My personality: I am a super sweet and affectionate boy who loves to have lots of fusses. I can be a bit wary of new people at first but soon come out of my shell and want to say hello to everyone. I love nothing more than a lap to sit on and a comfy, cosy place to sleep. Children: I can be a little bit worried about younger children so I would be suited to living in either an adult-only home or a home with sensible, older children or teenagers. Other animals: I didn’t get on with the other cat in my previous home so wouldn’t like to share my new home with another cat. I haven’t really met dogs but I would like to be the only pet in my new home. Additional needs: I have a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia. This means that I am a bit wobbly on my feet and can’t jump very high. I am still mobile and get around really well, I am just a bit different and a bit wobbly - that's all! Due to having cerebellar hypoplasia, I would need either an indoor home or a home with a secure garden or catio. I am a bit wobbly and can’t move very quickly so I would need to be kept safe! Could you offer me my purrfect new home? Love Peter xxx

About Peter

What life with Peter looks like

Peter is a senior mixed breed cat cat waiting at Raystede Centre in Ringmer.

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 Peter, answered.

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