How do I contact the shelter about Woody?

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 Woody on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Woody 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 Woody 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 Woody 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 Woody 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.

Woody

Mixed Breed Cat · Male · Young · 3 years

Personality:Woody came into our care after sadly being found in some woods in a poor condition. He is a confident boy who certainly has a lot to say for himself. Woody can be a very loving and affectionate young man but at times he can get over stimulated which results in him occasionally nipping. He enjoys sitting out in his run enjoying the sun and can’t wait to have a garden of his own. Behaviour:If you enjoy a good natter look no further than Woody, he can certainly out talk anyone! Even though he is quite a character he does have his periods of calm and quiet where he enjoys curling up on a staff members lap where we don’t over handle him so he can fully relax. We have recently introduced a grooming glove that Woody enjoys rubbing against to maintain his handsome good looks. 3 months post adoption support will be provided by our onsite cattery behaviourist. Housing:Woody will need a home with outside access to a private garden. He cannot be homed in Waterlooville, PO7 area. Children/pets:Woody will need to be an only pet in an adult only home. Vet history:Woody is neutered, microchipped, flea, wormed and fully vaccinated. Woody has no known medical conditions. 4 weeks free pet insurance included with adoption. Adoption fee:The adoption fee is £100. If you would like to make an additional donation over and above the adoption fee, this would be hugely appreciated.

About Woody

What life with Woody looks like

Woody is a young 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.
