Roastie (MUST be adopted with Mila)

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 1 year

I am the most loving, affectionate cat! I have so much love to give! Hi everyone, I’m Roastie!I came to the sanctuary with my younger brothers and sisters- they have all now found their homes. We came from a home but our owner could no longer care for us, they didn’t agree with neutering and sadly bred our mommy cat multiple times. I was from her litter in January 2025, the rest of my litter found homes, and then she had another litter just a few months later! It is very lucky that we didn’t start breeding with each other as they could have ended up with lots and lots of kittens. Our mommy cat was a Sphynx cross, she was hairless but had curly ears like me so my carers assume that she must have had some American Curl in her genes too. Our dad was a domestic shorthair (moggy), so this is my main breed, with a mixture of the other two in my DNA. Obviously I don’t look as though I have any Sphynx in me and look like a domestic shorthair with curled ears! I am very cute though, look at me! We weren’t in very good condition when we arrived here. We were infested with fleas and had big bellies which showed we probably were full of nasty worms too. Thankfully, we had all of our vet work done and received all the care we deserved.I am a very friendly boy who really, really loves humans! I love to be cuddled, picked up and sitting on laps. Anything that involves a human giving me love and attention I love! I can be quite vocal and like to have chats with the humans too. I can be playful when I’m in the mood, but most of all I just want fuss and cuddles. I have so much love to give to anyone who will accept it.I do however have a ‘naughty’ side too. My carer says she hates using the word naughty, as I’m a good boy really (of course I am!), but sometimes I get a bit confused and don’t know how to control my emotions. If it all gets a bit too much, if I’m enjoying attention too much or you stop fussing me, or I suddenly decide I want to play, then I do sometimes nip the humans. I don’t mean it, and I go straight back to being my cuddly baby self afterwards, but the carers say it can hurt. So, my adopters will need to be happy to work with me on this.I was adopted earlier in the year, but sadly I was getting quite frustrated in the home, and was showing a lot of frustration aggression behaviours, so it was mutually decided that this was not the right home for me. I was back to my normal self as soon as I arrived back at the sanctuary though.When I returned to the sanctuary, it was decided that I did need a cat friend. I had previously shown that I definitely did not like the other adult cats here, so my carer thought that perhaps I would like a little baby friend, as I was used to living with my baby brothers and sisters. So, she introduced me to Mila. Well, we hit it off straight away! Literally, as soon as the humans let us out together, we were doing crazy zoomies up and down the cattery corridor, play fighting and letting out all of our built up energy. The humans said it was lovely to see. Mila is like my little sister and I couldn’t see my life without her now. It sounds like she had a rubbish start to life, so I just want to protect her and continue our journey together into our next chapter. Please consider giving us a home together! Of course, I need to be adopted with Mila (please read about her too!). Due to my behaviour in my previous home, I am looking for experienced owners who will work with me if I show these behaviours again. My carer is hoping that I will be less frustrated now that I have Mila with me, but she says she can’t promise, neither can I! In the home I went to, it was a flat and one of my humans worked from home. Originally, the humans thought this would be a good thing but I think it was a bit much for me having someone there with me all the time and in a small space too. I just wanted to constantly play, and wasn’t happy if it wasn’t playtime. We now think that a house would be better for me, so I have an upstairs and downstairs to explore, and a secure catio or cat-proofed garden is a MUST. If you don’t currently have this but are willing to get it done, please do still apply to adopt us as you may be the home for us. It will be required that the catio is built or fencing is secured (with cat-proof fence toppers) before we can go home, so this will need to be something that you can get done ASAP.As mentioned above, I don’t really like other cats and seeing them here can stress me out. Due to this, I would prefer to not lie with any other cats! Of course, baby Mila doesn’t count as she is my baby and will be going everywhere with me from now on so that I can look after her. I have met a dog here at the sanctuary and I thought she was lovely! I gave her some kisses and was very intrigued by her, so although I don’t want another cat friend, I think I would actually quite like a doggy friend. As long as they like cats of course.I have never been outside and am looking for an indoor only home, so it is important that my new humans understand the importance of ensuring I have enough enrichment such as toys, cat furniture, puzzle feeders etc to keep my brain occupied and me entertained. My carer is happy to discuss this further with anyone if they have questions about this.Anyway, enjoy these lovely pictures of me below. My carer calls me cheeky, I never know why!

Frequently asked

Adopting Roastie (MUST be adopted with Mila), answered.

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