Storm

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 6 years

Hiya, I'm Storm and as you can see, I'm a super sleek and handsome young man. Sadly, this is my third time at Raystede looking for my new furrever home. In my first home, I didn't get along with the new puppy, and in my second and third homes, I displayed unwanted behaviour (biting and scratching) when I became overstimulated. I’d love to find a calm home where I can be myself. My personality: I'm a very loving boy and like to rub my head against your hand and even give the occasional affectionate lick! I am a lap cat once I get to know you, but I can be shy to start with. I love being around people I am familiar with, but I equally like my alone time and decide when I am in the mood for fusses. My new owners will need to give me a calm environment as I can be startled by loud noises, but I quickly come back to you once I realise it’s safe! I am currently enjoying time in a foster home, and I have been described as “an absolute treasure”! My new owners will need to learn to read my body language, so that when I’m having fusses, I don’t get overwhelmed as this is when I can swipe or bite. I’d love to find owners who can let me learn to trust humans and relax in a forever home that is all mine. Children: Due to my nature, I would be happiest in a home with adults only and no visiting children, please. Other animals: I am scared of dogs and can be territorial around other cats, so I will need to be the only pet in my new home. Additional needs: I'll need a nice garden to call my own; I don't tend to wander far and like to stay in the garden or visit the neighbours’ gardens. I am an accomplished hunter, so you'll need to be ok with the occasional present! Can you offer a lovely boy like me my purrfect home? Love Storm xxx

About Storm

What life with Storm looks like

Storm is an adult mixed breed cat cat waiting at Raystede Centre in Ringmer.

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 Storm, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Storm?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Raystede Centre handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Storm on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Storm if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Raystede Centre 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Storm 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 Storm 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 Raystede Centre early rather than rehoming privately; they know Storm 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.
