Storm

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 12 years

Storm came to Farplace on 21 June 2014, when he was just three months old. When he first arrived, he was a very shy and frightened little boy, but with plenty of patience, kindness and love, he’s grown into a super, super friendly cat who absolutely loves a cuddle. He’s basically a big, friendly black panther with the personality of a teddy bear. Storm may still be a little shy when you first meet him, but once he gets to know you, he’s incredibly affectionate and loves spending time with people. He’s now an older boy and has reached the stage in life where his idea of a good day is finding somewhere comfy, warm and sunny to have a nice long chill. Storm has no teeth, which means you’ll quite often spot him with his little tongue poking out. As you can see from his photographs, this is both ridiculously adorable and very funny. Storm has had some health problems in the past, including thyroid disease, which unfortunately made him quite poorly at the time. He underwent a thyroidectomy over a year ago, and thankfully he’s made a brilliant recovery. Since having his surgery, he has remained in good health and has had no further issues. He’s a very easy-going boy who likes being around other cats, but he isn’t particularly attached to any one cat. Because of this, we think he could happily live with other friendly cats, or potentially be rehomed as an only cat, provided his new person is around quite a bit and happy to give him plenty of company. Storm really is just a lovely, gentle older boy who wants somewhere peaceful to settle down, a cosy bed, a sunny spot and somebody to give him a good cuddle. Likes Cuddles People Cosy beds Sunny spots Chilling out Other friendly cats Being comfortable Having company Dislikes Being rushed when meeting someone new Busy or stressful environments Before Storm goes to his new home, he will be castrated, microchipped and vaccinated, with flea and worm treatment kept up to date, and he will have a full health check. We’ll also provide you with a full copy of his veterinary records to keep for your own records when he goes off to his new home. Indoor-only policy If you feel you could offer Storm 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 Storm

What life with Storm looks like

Storm is a large senior mixed breed cat waiting at Farplace Animal Rescue in United Kingdom.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇬🇧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 Storm, answered.

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