How do I contact the shelter about Toby?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Toby on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Toby if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark 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 Toby 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 Toby 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 Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark early rather than rehoming privately; they know Toby 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 Toby

Mixed Breed Cat · Male

Personality:Toby is an energetic boy who loves to play! Although he can be slightly hand shy at times, he is becoming much more confident day by day. He is a sweet boy who is looking forward to a new adventure in a loving forever home. Behaviour:Toby is the most shy of his siblings but it doesn’t stop him being affectionate towards socialisers. He approaches and will purr away for fuss. Then he’s off again, on the run to chase the rattling balls and bat around with the interactive rotating ball toys. He pounces around and is lots of entertainment to be around. Housing:Toby will need a home with outside access to a garden. Adopters will need to be around during day time hours. Please note, adopters will need to be able to meet Toby within a timely manner. Children/pets:Toby can live with primary school aged children. Whilst we believe Toby to be happy around younger children, they should be supervised at all times. He cannot live with other cats or dogs. Vet history:Toby is neutered, microchipped, flea and wormed. His second vaccination is due between 28/5/26 – 3/06/26 at the shelter and the cost is included in the adoption fee. Toby has no known medical conditions. 4 weeks free pet insurance included with adoption. Adoption fee:The adoption fee is £120. If you would like to make an additional donation over and above the adoption fee, this would be hugely appreciated.

About Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Solent Branch CIO - The Stubbington Ark 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.
