Pistachio

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Young · 1 year

Personality:Pistachio is a gentle and loving girl who craves being around people. She likes the comfort of her igloo bed and will make sure she gets herself comfy. She is a noise sensitive girl, so is looking for a quieter home, with people around during the day to spend time with. Behaviour:Pistachio makes her way out from her bed, stretches then is ready to initiate for some fuss. She follows socialisers around at times, rolling over and reaching her paw out to say hello. Once her socialisers are sat down, she is often on their lap for a cuddle. She continues to headbutt hands to ask for more fuss. She is slowly becoming braver with exploring her unit and makes good use of her scratch post. She will occasionally engage with toys however we believe her confidence with playing will continue to grow in a home environment. Housing:Pistachio does prefer the safety of her unit or bed and finds new surroundings a little scary, so for this reason she would benefit from her own unused room or a quiet area of the house to initially settle in before exploring the rest of the property, and eventually a garden. She cannot be homed in Gosport PO12 area. Children/pets:Due to having a negative response to other cats and being fearful around dogs, Pistachio is looking a home without other cats or dogs. Pistachio could live with older secondary school aged children, pending a successful meeting at the shelter. Vet history:Pistachio is neutered, microchipped, flea and wormed. Her second vaccination is due between 30/09/26 – 6/10/26 at the shelter and the cost is included in the adoption fee. Pistachio has a very small umbilical hernia that is intermittent and is causing no issues. Pistachio has no other medical issues. 4 weeks free pet insurance included with adoption. Adoption fee:The adoption fee is £100. If you would like to make an additional donation over and above the adoption fee, this would be hugely appreciated. Additional information:All rented and leasehold properties will require written consent from the property owner or agent. This needs to be in place before completing an application form.

About Pistachio

What life with Pistachio looks like

Pistachio is a small young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark 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 Pistachio, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Pistachio?
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 Pistachio on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Pistachio 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 Pistachio 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 Pistachio 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 Pistachio 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.
