Sugarplum

Mixed Breed Cat · Female · Adult · 5 years

Hello lovely people, I am the super sweet Sugarplum I originally came into care as a stray with my mum and two siblings. I’m a sociable girl once I get to know you, but I can be a little cautious at first and need time to warm up. When I’m comfortable, I do enjoy a gentle stroke—especially an ear tickle! I don’t mind being picked up for a short while, but I can become overstimulated, so I prefer not to be handled too much. I can be quite vocal, particularly at feeding time (I like to make sure I’m not forgotten! ) and I may even try to help myself by knocking food out of your hands. Treats are definitely the way to win me over. I’m a very intelligent cat and love puzzle feeders and food toys. I tend to show off my clever side at night when it’s nice and quiet. I’m currently on an obesity diet, so I’ll need support to stay healthy in my new home. I’m not a fan of other cats, although I’m less stressed seeing them than I used to be. However, I would still prefer to be the only pet in the home, ideally in a quieter area with fewer neighbouring cats. I would also prefer a home without young children, as I can become overstimulated by noise and too much handling. When I feel stressed, I may overgroom, which has caused some patches of hair loss. This is something my new family should be aware of, and I may benefit from calming support while I settle in. I have been spayed, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. I’m also up to date with my vaccinations, flea, and worm treatments. Once settled I will require access to outside. If you think you could offer me the calm, loving home I’m looking for, please fill in an enquiry form—I’d love to meet you

About Sugarplum

What life with Sugarplum looks like

Sugarplum is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Norwich 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 Sugarplum, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sugarplum?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Norwich handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sugarplum on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sugarplum if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RSPCA Norwich 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 Sugarplum 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 Sugarplum 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 Norwich early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sugarplum 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.
