How do I contact the shelter about AMÉRICA?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animal Help Espania handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw AMÉRICA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt AMÉRICA if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animal Help Espania 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 AMÉRICA 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 AMÉRICA 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 Animal Help Espania early rather than rehoming privately; they know AMÉRICA 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 (DE). 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.

AMÉRICA

Mixed Breed · Male

Location: in Spain Born: 09/2023 Gender: male Special: FIV-positive Personality: a handsome, social tomcat A..21.03.2026NOT IN SINGULAR CONFINEMENT!21.03.2026Hello! I am AMÉRICA, a delicate tomcat with beautifully tiger-striped fur. Since I was a baby, I have been waiting to find my own home. Many people found me wonderful – until a test result changed everything: I am FIV-positive. Since then, I am often overlooked. But I am just a normal tomcat who can lead a beautiful and fulfilling life with the right care, good food, and lots of love! I had the good fortune to grow up in a foster home and experienced a lot of love there. Now, the transition to life in the animal shelter is hard for me. The adjustment is big, and I need time to find my footing. I am still shy with people, but with other cats, I am very affectionate, social, and friendly – their proximity gives me security. I wish for people who will give me a chance to open up at my own pace and show me that I am welcome. Maybe you are exactly that person?

Standort: in Spanien Geboren: 09/2023 Geschlecht: männlich Besonderheit: FIV-positiv Charakter: hübscher, sozialer Kater A..21.03.2026NICHT IN EINZELHALTUNG!21.03.2026Hallo! Ich bin América, ein zierlicher Kater mit wunderschönem rot getigertem Fell. Seit ich ein Baby bin, warte ich darauf, endlich mein eigenes Zuhause zu finden. Viele Menschen fanden mich toll – bis ein Testergebnis alles verändert hat: Ich bin FIV-positiv.Seitdem werde ich oft übersehen. Dabei bin ich ein ganz normaler Kater, der mit der richtigen Pflege, gutem Futter und ganz viel Liebe ein schönes und erfülltes Leben führen kann!Ich hatte das Glück, in einer Pflegestelle aufzuwachsen und dort viel Liebe zu erfahren. Umso schwerer fällt mir jetzt das Leben im Tierheim. Die Umstellung ist groß, und ich brauche Zeit, um mich zurechtzufinden. Menschen gegenüber bin ich noch schüchtern. Aber mit anderen Katzen bin ich sehr lieb, sozial und umgänglich – ihre Nähe gibt mir Sicherheit.Ich wünsche mir Menschen, die mir eine Chance geben, mich in meinem Tempo zu öffnen und mir zeigen, dass ich willkommen bin. Vielleicht bist genau du dieser Mensch?

About AMÉRICA

What life with AMÉRICA looks like

AMÉRICA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Animal Help Espania in Odelzhausen.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
