sweetpea

Mixed Breed · Female

Sweetpea is an independent lady who is mature enough to know what she does and doesn't like. She can be aloof, and wants you to make an effort to be her friend. But give it a few minutes chatting to her, and she's quickly won around. She accepts fuss on her own time, and does not appreciate being rushed. She really enjoys visitors to her pen and getting attention, but does prefer hands to be kept to mostly to themselves until invited. She is also happy in her own company so ideal for a working family. Sweetpea has had no experience with cats, and until we are able to properly assess her suitability with them, we are looking for a cat free home. She has lived with, and was happy with, dogs. So she would be suitable for a home with cat friendly dogs. She would be OK with older children who understand how to read a cat's boundaries.​​

About sweetpea

What life with sweetpea looks like

sweetpea is a 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 sweetpea, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about sweetpea?
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 sweetpea on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt sweetpea 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is sweetpea 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 sweetpea 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 sweetpea 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.
