Rosie

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Rosie has been with us since June 2023. She is a very shy, semi-feral girl who has always preferred the company of other cats to people. She came to us with kittens, who have all since found their homes, but Rosie is still waiting for hers. Rosie absolutely loves other cats, and we’d ideally like her to go to a home with one of her feline friends. We have four cats living happily in our secure barn, and we’d love Rosie to go to a new home with one of her friends. Although our usual policy is for cats to be rehomed as indoor cats, Rosie is one of the exceptions where a secure barn or suitable rural setup could potentially be considered. Ideally, we’d love her to have access to a secure catio or enclosed garden so she can enjoy some outdoor space without being allowed to roam. Rosie would be best suited to someone with experience of feral or semi-feral cats, and most importantly, someone who is happy to let her set the pace. At the moment, she isn’t a cat who enjoys being stroked, although she will happily take a licky treat from your fingers! We’ve managed to give Rosie medication and eye drops when needed, although this does involve a fair amount of patience, licky treats and careful planning! With more time, patience and a quiet home, there’s every chance that Rosie could become much more comfortable around people. She may never turn into a lap cat, and that’s absolutely fine. We’d love to find someone who can appreciate Rosie for who she is and give her the safe, peaceful home and feline companionship she deserves. As with all of our cats, Rosie will leave Farplace spayed, microchipped and vaccinated, with her flea and worm treatment up to date, and following a full health check. We’ll also provide you with a full copy of her veterinary records to keep for your own records when she goes off to her new home. Indoor-only policy Rosie is one of the cats who may be considered for a suitable secure barn or rural setup, particularly with other compatible cats. This would be discussed as part of the adoption process and would need to meet her individual needs. If you feel you could offer this lovely cat the right home, please email for an adoption questionnaire. We can then arrange a home check. We are happy to consider homes up to around two hours’ travel from the rescue. Any further than this can make it difficult for us to offer the support we feel is important after adoption. We hope you understand.

About Rosie

What life with Rosie looks like

Rosie is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Farplace Animal Rescue 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 Rosie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rosie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Farplace Animal Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — 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 — Farplace Animal Rescue 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 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 — 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 — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Farplace Animal Rescue 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 — 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.
