Rosie

Mixed Breed Cat Β· Female Β· Kitten Β· 4 months

Personality:Rosie is a sweet little kitten who has really grown in confidence since her initial intake. She takes a little while to get to know you but is very affectionate once she does, when we’re sat on the floor she likes to get on our lap and doesn’t stop purring! She can still be a little shy of strangers and new situations but once she’s settled her beautiful character starts to shine. Behaviour:As a typical kitten, Rosie enjoys playing and being pingy! She likes to try to claim the best place on their favourite scratch post but also secretly enjoys cuddling up to her litter mates on a variety of different beds. She can be quite an inquisitive girl at times and likes to know what’s going on. Housing:Rosie does get easily spooked when out exploring the cattery floor and will run back to her unit where she feels safe, so for this reason she would benefit from her own unused room to initially settle in before exploring the rest of the property; this should be very short term. She will eventually need access to a private, enclosed garden. She cannot be homed in Fareham PO14 area. Children/pets:Rosie can live with secondary school aged children who will be calm and gentle with her. She needs to be the only pet in the home. Vet history:Rosie is neutered, microchipped, flea, wormed and fully vaccinated. Rosie has no known medical conditions. 4 weeks free pet insurance included with adoption. Adoption fee:The adoption fee is Β£120. 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 Rosie

What life with Rosie looks like

Rosie is a 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 β€” most shelters arrange this before adoption.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§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 Rosie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rosie?
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 β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rosie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rosie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Rosie 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 β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Rosie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” 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 Rosie 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 β€” 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.
