Toby

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Toby came to Farplace on 29th September 2023, when he was estimated to be just three months old. He’s been with us for quite a long time now and is still waiting patiently for someone to give him the quiet, loving home he deserves. Toby is a very shy boy, but with plenty of patience and reassurance, he’s learning that people can be trusted. Once he feels comfortable, he absolutely loves a good scrub around the head! Toby is a real cat’s cat and absolutely loves the company of other cats. Having a confident feline friend makes a huge difference to him, and we’d really like him to go to his new home with one of his friends from Farplace. He often finds the courage to join in when he sees another cat getting fuss, so having a companion would really help him build his confidence. He’s looking for a quiet, patient home where he can settle in at his own pace without too much noise or pressure. He’ll need someone who understands that he may take a little while to show his true personality, but we’re assure you he’s be worth the wait. Toby also loves spending time outside in our secure areas and enjoys sunbathing, so access to a secure catio or enclosed garden would be a lovely bonus for him, although it isn’t essential. Toby needs an indoor-only home. A secure catio or enclosed garden would be a lovely bonus, but isn’t essential. As with all of our cats, Toby will leave Farplace castrated, microchipped and vaccinated, with his flea and worm treatment up to date, and following 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 this lovely cat 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 Toby

What life with Toby looks like

Toby is a extra-large young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Farplace Animal 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 Toby, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Toby?
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 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 — 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. 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 Farplace Animal Rescue 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.
