How do I contact the shelter about Tarquin?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Flori handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tarquin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tarquin if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Flori 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 Tarquin 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 Tarquin 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 Flori early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tarquin 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.

Adopt Tarquin

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

Meet the absolutely stunning Tarquin. He is 2 years old and has a very unusual black smoke coat. This kind natured, calm boy was heartbreakingly dumped in a vet’s car park in his carrier. After arriving to us in rescue, we soon realised something wasn’t quite right. After running some scans, it was concluded that poor Tarquin had likely been hit by a car, or fallen from a height. With no external injuries it was amazing he survived for so long and so happily. Luckily, Tarquin’s lovely vet, Aiden managed to rearrange all that needed re arranging internally (we will go into more detail upon application) and he made a full and fast recovery. He is now a healthy and happy boy that is ready to find a human to love him. Despite everything he’s been through, Tarquin has never hissed, spat, or shown any aggression towards the people caring for him. He has a truly gentle soul and is an absolute gentleman. He has quickly made lots of cat friends and generally settled in nicely. He could easily live with other feline companions or be equally fine as the only cat. Tarquin is a pretty laid back Chappy and is happy being left alone whilst someone is at work. He isn’t needy but is affectionate and loving once he knows you. Tarquin has just begun showing interest in toys and is gradually become more and more interactive with our volunteers. He is in quite a noisy and busy environment and has taken it in his stride but we feel that in a quieter place he will become even more confident. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and blood tested. We are looking for a calm, quiet environment for him, ideally with no super young children (although we are sure in the future once he has settled he would be fine with a baby in the home), access to a cat flap, and away from busy main roads. Tarquin is such a kind and gentle boy, and we believe he will flourish in the right home, the rescue isn’t the easiest environment for them to truly come round. With a little time and patience to help him settle, he will be a loving, loyal companion. He truly is a little smasher of a cat. Tarquin can be a tad shy on meet and greets but once he knows you are safe (or have treats) he soon relaxes in. Please get in touch if you have a Tarquin shaped hole in your home. He is such a special little boy.

About Tarquin

What life with Tarquin looks like

Tarquin is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Flori 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.
