How do I contact the shelter about APOLO?

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

Can I adopt APOLO 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 APOLO 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 APOLO 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 APOLO 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.

APOLO

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 7 years

Apolo is a male European Shorthair cat who arrived at the shelter on September 9, 2026. He was given up by his family due to personal circumstances and is used to living indoors with people and other cats. Apolo has a surgical history and had to have his tail amputated. He is currently recovering and becoming more sociable and trusting of people. He needs a quiet home, a family, and the security of knowing he belongs somewhere. If you are willing to give him time and love, Apolo is waiting for his chance to be part of a family again.

By: CICAMPosted on septiembre 9, 2026septiembre 9, 2026 Nombre: Apolo Raza: Común europeo Sexo: Macho Edad: 08/07/2019 Fecha de entrada al centro: 09/07/2026 Apolo llegó al centro hace poco, después de que su familia tuviera que cederlo por circunstancias personales. No conoce lo que es vivir en la calle. Apolo viene de un hogar, está acostumbrado a convivir con personas y también con otros gatos. Por eso, llegar al centro supuso para él un cambio importante. Además, Apolo llegó con un problema en su rabito que hizo necesaria una intervención quirúrgica y, finalmente, tuvieron que amputárselo. Después de la operación pasó una etapa más desconfiado y reservado con las personas. No era de extrañar: había pasado por una cirugía, se encontraba en un lugar nuevo y necesitaba recuperar poco a poco la confianza. Y eso es precisamente lo que está haciendo. Día a día, Apolo está volviendo a ser él mismo. Cada vez se muestra más sociable, se acerca más a las personas. Su historia es la de un gato que ha pasado por muchos cambios en muy poco tiempo, pero que sigue teniendo muchísimo que ofrecer. Apolo necesita ahora algo que ya conocía y que perdió de repente: un hogar tranquilo, una familia y la seguridad de saber que pertenece a algún sitio. Un lugar donde puedan respetar sus tiempos, darle cariño y acompañarle mientras termina de recuperar toda la confianza que un día tuvo. Porque Apolo no necesita que nadie se fije en lo que le falta. Necesita que alguien vea todo lo que todavía tiene por dar. Si buscas un compañero que pueda volver a formar parte de una familia y estás dispuesto a darle un poquito de tiempo y mucho cariño, Apolo está esperando su oportunidad. ¿Te animas a conocerle y demostrarle que lo mejor todavía está por llegar? 🐾❤️ Categories: GATOS

About APOLO

What life with APOLO looks like

APOLO is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at CICAM 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 (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.
