Arán

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Aran is a handsome kitten born on July 7, 2024. This little guy arrived at the shelter on May 21, 2025 after being rescued from the streets, where he never should have been. He is an extremely playful and lively cat, but what defines him most is his big heart: he needs a lot of affection and constantly seeks human contact.

About Arán

What life with Arán looks like

Arán is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Centro de Protección Animal de Parla 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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Arán, answered.

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