How do I contact the shelter about Avalona?

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

Can I adopt Avalona 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 Avalona 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 Avalona 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 Avalona 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 Avalona

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 10 years

It is in foster care. Initially, it was spayed at ALBA as part of the CES program, since it lived in a feral cat colony but required surgery. During the time it was hospitalized, we could see that it had a sociable personality. Currently, it is in a foster home where it has been for quite some time. They say it's like a lap cat and loves to receive affection, always trying to be close so it can be pampered. It coexists with other cats and gets along well with them, but it prefers human attention and company. If you've ever thought about adopting a cat but thought it might be too independent, you have to meet Avalona: a loving feline. Avalona tests positive for feline immunodeficiency but is otherwise healthy and seeks a forever home. Adopt positive, let's not make immunos invisible because of something they didn't choose. It is already spayed and vaccinated. It tested positive for feline immunodeficiency, and is Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) negative.

Está en casa de acogida. Inicialmente fue castrada en ALBA como parte del programa CES, ya que vivía en una colonia pero hubo que operarla y durante el tiempo que estuvo hospitalizada, pudimos ver que tenía un carácter sociable. Actualmente está en una casa de acogida en la que lleva ya bastante tiempo. Nos cuentan que es como un perrito faldero y le encanta recibir cariño, procura estar cerquita para que le den mimos todo el tiempo. Convive con más gatos y se lleva bien con ellos, pero le gusta más la atención y compañía humana. Si alguna vez has pensado en adoptar un gato pero pensabas que tal vez sería muy despejado e independiente, tienes que conocer a Avalona: un mimo felino. Avalona es positiva en inmunodeficiencia felina, pero está sana y busca una familia para siempre. Adopta en positivo, no dejemos que los inmunos se vuelvan invisibles por algo que no han elegido. Ya está castrada y vacunada. Ha resultado positiva de inmunodeficiencia, de leucemia negativa. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos
