ALMA

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten

Alma, a 10-year-old European Shorthair female, arrived at the shelter on August 14, 2026, after being rescued from a feral colony. Initially, the shelter staff noticed that the other cats in the colony were rejecting her, and a nearby empty carrier suggested possible abandonment. Despite the uncertainty surrounding her past, Alma has proven to be a loving and curious cat. She quickly adapted to the shelter environment, showing a natural affinity for human companionship. With her unique personality and gentle nature, Alma is now ready for a forever home where she can experience the love and security she deserves.

By: CICAMPosted on septiembre 9, 2026septiembre 9, 2026 Nombre: Alma Edad: 10/05/2026 Fecha de entrada al centro: 14/08/2026 Raza: Común europeo Sexo: Hembra Alma llegó al centro hace poco después de ser recogida de una colonia felina. Desde el primer momento hubo algo que nos llamó especialmente la atención: los demás gatos de la colonia la rechazaban y, además, en la zona donde apareció había un transportín vacío. Todo esto nos hace pensar que Alma pudo haber sido abandonada allí, aunque no podemos saber con certeza qué ocurrió antes de que llegara a nosotros. Lo que sí sabemos es cómo es Alma ahora. Es una gata buenísima, cariñosa y muy curiosa. Desde el primer día se adaptó al centro sin ningún problema, como si siempre hubiera sabido que las personas podían ser un lugar seguro. Le encanta descubrir lo que ocurre a su alrededor, acercarse y recibir cariño. Tiene ese carácter especial de los gatos que, a pesar de no conocer su historia, enseguida consiguen ganarse a todo el mundo. Ahora Alma solo necesita dar el siguiente paso: encontrar un hogar donde pueda sentirse querida y segura para siempre. Después de todo lo que pudo haber vivido antes de llegar al centro, creemos que se merece una familia que le dé la tranquilidad que quizá nunca tuvo y que pueda disfrutar de su carácter cariñoso y curioso cada día. Alma está preparada para empezar una nueva vida. Solo le falta encontrar a la persona que quiera compartirla con ella. Categories: GATOS

About ALMA

What life with ALMA looks like

ALMA is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at CICAM in Spain.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting ALMA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ALMA?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. CICAM handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ALMA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ALMA if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — CICAM 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is ALMA 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 ALMA 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 CICAM early rather than rehoming privately; they know ALMA 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 (ES). 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.
