Adopt Ares

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Ares arrived at our shelter on August 3, 2025. He is affectionate, though not overly demanding, and has a very playful personality typical of puppies. He enjoys spending time with people but also likes to have his own space. He is receptive to those who approach to get to know him, and although he is not one to constantly seek attention, he knows how to enjoy being petted when he asks for it. At his young age, he is looking for a home where he can continue to develop his personality in a calm and secure environment.

Ares llegó a la protectora el 3 de agosto de 2025. Es cariñoso, aunque sin ser excesivamente demandante, y con un punto juguetón muy propio de los cachorros. Le gusta compartir momentos con las personas, pero también disfruta de su propio espacio. Se muestra receptivo con quienes se acercan a conocerlo y, aunque no es del tipo que busca mimos constantemente, sabe disfrutar de las caricias cuando él mismo las pide. A su corta edad, está esperando un hogar donde pueda seguir desarrollando su personalidad con calma y seguridad.

About Ares

What life with Ares looks like

Ares is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Protectora Villena 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 Ares, answered.

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