Adopt River

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

AGE: 1 year (ready to rehome 13/06) BREED: Domestic short hair IDEAL HOME: access to the outdoors LIVING WITH CHILDREN: I could live with children 10 years plus LIVING WITH DOGS: I prefer not to live with dogs LIVING WITH CATS: I would prefer to be the only cat in the household River is the lovely mum of six beautiful kittens and will soon be ready to start looking for her own forever home once she has finished caring for her brood. She is one of the sweetest little cats you could hope to meet. We believe River is still very young herself, at approximately 1 year old, and she has already been through quite an ordeal. She arrived with us very underweight, but with regular feeding and care, she is steadily gaining weight and growing stronger each day. River has a gentle, affectionate nature and would make a wonderful companion animal. She enjoys human company and will thrive in a home where she can receive plenty of love and attention. Once fully settled into her new home, River will need access to the outdoors so she can explore and enjoy her surroundings. For this reason, her new home should be in a safe area away from main roads or high-traffic areas. We feel River could live with children aged 6 years and over who understand how to be calm and respectful around animals. However, she would prefer to be the only pet in the household so she can relax and enjoy all the attention to herself. After raising her kittens so well, it’s now River’s turn to be cared for and cherished in a loving home of her own. Interested in adopting River? Call or contact us.

About River

What life with River looks like

River is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at SARA Ann Prosser Foundation 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 River, answered.

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