Saffy

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Young · 3 years

Personality:Saffy is a beautiful girl who has loads of energy to burn off. She is a very cuddly and affectionate girl who loves to jump on your lap, climb up your chest and rub against your face, she really enjoys being with people and would love her new adopters to around most of the day, she’d make a great working from home buddy. Behaviour:Saffy can be quite a very chatty girl who has a lot to say for herself, especially when its feeding time. When Saffy first came into our care she was in a very lean condition and was incredibly frantic around food, this has lessened with a good feeding routine but this will need to be continued in the home. Occasionally she does have a funny five minutes playing with some toys, but generally she prefers spending time with people. Housing:Saffy will need a home with outside access to a garden. She cannot be homed in Havant, PO9 area. Due to her frantic nature around food she would not be suitable in an open planned home, a door to shut Saffy out of the kitchen is essential. Children/pets:Saffy can live with any age children who will be calm and gentle with her and will understand she is not a toy, pending a successful meet at the shelter. Saffy cannot live with another cat but could possibly live a dog who is used to living with cats with a slow introduction. Vet history:Saffy is neutered, microchipped, flea, wormed and fully vaccinated. Saffy has no known medical conditions. 4 weeks free pet insurance included with adoption. Adoption fee:The adoption fee is £100. If you would like to make an additional donation over and above the adoption fee, this would be hugely appreciated.

About Saffy

What life with Saffy looks like

Saffy is a young adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark 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 Saffy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Saffy?: 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 Saffy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Saffy 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Saffy 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 Saffy 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 Saffy 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.
