How do I contact the shelter about Ridley?

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

Can I adopt Ridley 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 Ridley 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 Ridley 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 Ridley 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.

Ridley

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Kitten

Personality:Ridley is a very friendly and confident boy. He loves to play but can get a little overexcited. When he’s not playing he’s very affectionate and enjoys spending time on your lap. He loves to be into everything and really enjoys helping his carers clean his unit. He really is a great help! Behaviour:When Ridley doesn’t have company he likes to spend much of his time on top of his scratch post dreaming of his next adventure. He likes to run around in the corridor expending energy and just being a kitten. Housing:Ridley will need a home with outside access to a garden. He can’t be rehomed to the Fareham area ( Po16) Children/pets:Ridley is a very sweet boy but can get a little over enthusiastic with play. For this reason he could be rehomed with Junior school aged children (8+) With a careful introduction he may be able to live with a dog that has been used to cats. He may be able to live with other cats but they must be used to kittens with high energy levels. Vet history:Ridley is neutered, microchipped, flea and wormed. His second vaccination is due between 30/9 and the 7/10 at the shelter and the cost is included in the adoption fee. Ridley 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 Ridley

What life with Ridley looks like

Ridley 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.
