How do I contact the shelter about Ariola?

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

Can I adopt Ariola if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ALBA Protectora Madrid 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 Ariola 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 Ariola 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 ALBA Protectora Madrid early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ariola 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.

Adopt Ariola

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Ariola just turned one year old. She was picked up as a female puppy from a feral cat colony control and has been with us ever since, where she has shown herself to be a calm, independent, and easy-going companion. She has a beautiful brown coat and a serene gaze. Although she doesn't particularly enjoy human contact, she coexists without issue and does not cause any conflicts. She likes to observe and move at her own pace. With other cats, she gets along well; she’s not particularly playful, but respects others' space and adapts easily. She is a discreet companion, ideal for a quiet home or another friendly cat that doesn’t require constant play. Ariola is vaccinated, spayed, and has tested negative for FELV and FIV. She is seeking a family that respects her way of being and offers her a safe environment where she can continue to grow at her own pace.--- Picked up from a feral cat colony control. She is a very nice cat; she calls out to you from her cage doing little antics to get you to come and talk to her, when she has your attention she gets a bit shy, but only for a few seconds before she succumbs to your petting. She is already vaccinated and neutered. FELV-FIV test negative. Cat puppies should live in pairs for their best socialization.

Ariola acaba de cumplir un año. Fue recogida cuando era una cachorra en un control de colonias y desde entonces está con nosotras, donde ha demostrado ser una gata tranquila, independiente y de convivencia fácil. Tiene un precioso pelaje pardo y una mirada serena. Aunque no disfruta especialmente del contacto humano, convive sin problema y no causa ningún tipo de conflicto. Le gusta observar y moverse a su ritmo. Con otros gatos se lleva bien; no es especialmente juguetona, pero respeta el espacio de los demás y se adapta con facilidad. Es una compañera discreta, ideal para un hogar tranquilo o con otro gato sociable que no necesite juego constante. Ariola está vacunada, esterilizada y ha dado negativo en los test de FELV y FIV. Busca una familia que respete su forma de ser y le ofrezca un entorno seguro donde pueda seguir creciendo a su manera. ----------------------------------- Recogida en un control de colonias. Es una gata muy maja, te llama desde su jaulón haciendo monerías para que te acerques a decirle algo, cuando ya ha captado tu atención se corta un poco y le entra la timidez, pero le dura unos segundos antes de caer rendida a las caricias. Ya está vacunada y castrada. Test FELV-FIV negativo. Los cachorros de gato deben vivir en parejas para su mejor socialización. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos

About Ariola

What life with Ariola looks like

Ariola is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

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.
