Samwise

Mixed Breed · Male

Beautiful Samwise is a sweet little boy looking for a forever lap. He is affectionate, sappy and loves people. He loves to roll around on volunteers laps! Samwise would benefit from someone who works from home, or spends a lot of time at home. He would not be suitable in a home where there are lots of away trips, or someone working long hours. He should be OK in a home with cat friendly children. He would be OK with other cats. Samwise has not been dog tested, but this can be done on request. Samwise does have some dietary requirements. He has a very sensitive tummy, but we have found that sticking to a diet of Royal Canin Gastrointestinal dry food has kept everything under control.

About Samwise

What life with Samwise looks like

Samwise is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Shropshire Cat 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 Samwise, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Samwise?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Shropshire Cat Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Samwise on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Samwise if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Shropshire Cat 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Samwise 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 Samwise 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 Shropshire Cat Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Samwise 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.
