Tigger

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Adult · 4 years

Hello, I’m Tigger, and I’m a shy boy looking for a fresh start. I find myself at Raystede as I wasn’t settling into my new home after my owners moved. My personality: I can be shy to begin with and it can take me a little while to feel comfortable with new people. In my previous home, prior to the house move, I was very affectionate and loved to have a cuddle with my owners. Unfortunately, I became very stressed once the house move was done and I struggled to settle into the new environment, constantly going back to the original house. I was very nervous when I first arrived at Raystede, but I was always well behaved. I am getting braver each day and I’m letting the staff fuss me quite a bit now. I’m even beginning to leave my safe space to explore the cattery. I have days where I can be a bit shyer but I’m still getting used to being in the cattery. I’m sure once I’ve fully integrated into a home, I’ll be the affectionate and cuddly boy I used to be. Children: I’m very nervous around young children and have been known to hiss at them in the past. I would be best placed in an adult-only home but could live with much older children/teenagers. Other animals: I need to be the only pet please. I don’t like other cats or dogs and will fight with or hiss at them. Additional needs: I’ve got slightly longer fur which will need regular brushing to keep in good condition and, luckily, I like being groomed and pampered! I’d love for my new home to have a garden as I love going outside. I’ll need a home away from busy area as I’ve been known to cross roads in the past. It’s not known whether I’ll wander far or hunt. With some time and patience, I’ll blossom into a lovely little cat. Could you offer me a forever home? Love, Tigger xxx

About Tigger

What life with Tigger looks like

Tigger is a 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 Tigger, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tigger?
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 Tigger on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tigger 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tigger 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 Tigger 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 Tigger 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.
