Astro

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

La historia de Astro empezó con el aviso de un hombre que estaba preocupado por él. Había visto en una colonia de gatos de Callosa de Segura a un bebé de apenas dos meses, extremadamente cariñoso, que se acercaba a las personas buscando contacto… Pero que además estaba enfermo. 🤍 Fuimos a por él y desde ese momento Astro pasó a estar bajo nuestro cuidado. Una úlcera en uno de sus ojos le dejó una cicatriz que todavía conserva, una pequeña huella de aquellos primeros meses tan complicados que no le impide hacer vida con total normalidad. Pero si algo define a Astro no es esa cicatriz. ❤️ Es un gato cariñoso, juguetón, cercano y de los que disfrutan estando contigo. Con otros gatos es respetuoso y sabe convivir sin buscar conflictos. Si buscas un compañero que venga a recibirte cuando llegas a casa, te busque para pedirte un mimo, se enrede entre tus piernas y siempre esté dispuesto a compartir un rato de juego, Astro puede ser ese gato. 🏡🐱 Después de haber crecido prácticamente con nosotros, solo le falta conocer una cosa: cómo se siente tener una familia y un hogar propios.

About Astro

What life with Astro looks like

Astro is a medium-sized young adult european shorthair cat waiting at APADAC — Protectora de Animales 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 Astro, answered.

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