Adopt Wasabi

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 7 years

Looking for: A quiet and understanding home who can let him settle at his own pace Poor Wasabi (5-7 years old) was battered and bruised when he arrived at The Holdings, with an eye ulcer, fighting wounds, and the chonky cheeks characteristic of an entire male. Despite all this, Wasabi was gentle and accommodating while we administered his eye drops three times a day, and never lashed out despite how clearly terrified he was. We are happy to say that Wasabi has been healing nicely, both mentally and physically, and he has learned that he absolutely loves lick-e-lix (who doesn’t!). Wasabi is still a frightened boy but feels safe enough to enjoy relaxing on the top shelf by his window, where he can keep an eye on all the goings on. Wasabi is FIV+, meaning he carries the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. The virus only affects cats and cannot be passed to humans, dogs, or other animals. Because we believe Wasabi may have been the instigator in previous fights, he will need to be the only cat in his new home. While FIV can weaken a cat’s immune system, many FIV+ cats live long, happy lives with the right care. There are still many misconceptions surrounding FIV, so if anyone is interested in giving this sweet boy a chance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions - we’d be more than happy to help. We think Wasabi is absolutely wonderful and will make anyone’s house a home - our version of the icing on the cake, the Wasabi on the sushi! If you would like to give this gentle boy the safe, loving home he deserves as the only cat in the household, please fill out the application form below:

About Wasabi

What life with Wasabi looks like

Wasabi is a adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch 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 Wasabi, answered.

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