Almanzor

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Almanzor has been living in a very cramped and isolated space for almost a year. He arrived after being hit by a car and was perfectly treated. Almanzor is almost 7 years old and is a magnificent cat, very affectionate and sociable. He is also quite a glutton. When he sees us, he meows to get our attention, and even more so if you have treats. Sadly, he tested positive for FIV (he is an immune kitten), which means he must live isolated from the other cats in the our shelter. Obviously, he doesn't like being isolated because he loves human attention, but being positive makes him completely invisible despite being in good condition. We would love for someone to take him in or adopt him so he can have company, socialize, enjoy everything he is missing out on, and start a normal life after all the hardships he has already endured. In a quiet environment (like a home) and with a good adaptation, FIV cats can coexist with healthy cats without problems. Think about giving him a spot, any home, no matter how small, is better than where he is now. If you have any doubts, write to us.--------- Almanzor was picked up after a police alert, he had been hit by a car, with a right femur fracture and a left hand finger crushing, he is missing some fingers from a previous hit-and-run. Almanzor is a very nice stray cat, he arrived in very bad condition at ALBA and despite everything, he has been well treated. When he sees us, he meows to catch our attention, and even more so if you have treats, he is a bit of a glutton, and in the street, he has gone through many hardships. He is still recovering and when he is well, he will need a quiet and safe home where he can receive affection and attention. Osteosynthesis of the right femur has been performed on his hind leg. He is FIV positive, FELV negative. He is already neutered and vaccinated.

Almanzor lleva un año viviendo en un espacio muy reducido y aislado. Llegó tras ser atropellado y se dejó curar a la perfección. Almanzor tiene casi 7 años y es un gato majísimo, muy cariñoso y sociable. Además es bastante tragoncete. Cuando nos ve maúlla para que le hagamos caso y más aún si tenemos chuches. Tristemente, ha dado positivo en FIV (es un gatito inmuno) lo que implica que en el albergue ha de vivir aislado del resto de gatos. Evidentemente no le gusta estar aislado porque le encanta la atención humana, pero ser positivo lo convierte en un gato totalmente invisible a pesar de estar en buena forma. Nos encantaría que alguien pudiese acogerle o adoptarle para que pudiese tener compañía, socializar, disfrutar de todo lo que se está perdiendo y empezar a tener una vida normal después de todas las penurias que ha pasado ya. En un entorno tranquilo (como lo es un hogar) y con una buena adaptación, los gatos FIV pueden convivir con gatos sanos sin problema. Piensa en hacerle un huequito, cualquier hogar, por pequeño que sea, es mejor que donde está ahora. Si tienes dudas escríbenos. --------------------------------------------------------- Almanzor se recogió tras aviso de policía, había sido atropellado, fractura de fémur derecho y aplastamiento de dedos mano izquierda, le faltan algunos deditos de un atropello anterior. Almanzor es un gatazo callejero muy majo, llegó en muy malas condiciones a ALBA y a pesar de todo se ha dejado curar muy bien. Cuando nos ve maúlla para captar nuestra atención y más si llevas chuches, es un poco zampón, en la calle se pasan muchas penurias. Aún está recuperándose y cuando esté bien necesitara un hogar tranquilo y seguro donde vivir y recibir mimos y atenciones. En la pata trasera se le ha hecho osteosíntesis de fémur derecho. Es positivo de FIV, negativo de FELV. Ya está castrado y vacunado. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos

About Almanzor

What life with Almanzor looks like

Almanzor is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

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 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 Almanzor, answered.

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