Ander

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Picked up after falling into a hunter's cage, where he spent two days shut in at just 3 months old, with no access to water or food. Since then he has been living at our shelter, waiting for a home. He's a very lively young guy, as orange cats tend to be, but he's also super cuddly. He gets along great with other cats.

Recogido tras caer en la jaula de un cazador y permanecer con 3 meses de edad dos días encerrado sin acceso a agua y comida. Desde entonces vive en nuestro refugio esperando un hogar. Es un jovencito muy movido, como buen gato naranja, pero también es súper mimoso. Se lleva genial con otros gatos.

About Ander

What life with Ander looks like

Ander is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Colaboración Animal La Rioja in Spain.

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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Ander, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ander?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Colaboración Animal La Rioja handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ander on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ander if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Colaboración Animal La Rioja 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Ander 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 Ander 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 Colaboración Animal La Rioja early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ander 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.
