How do I contact the shelter about Bam Bam?

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

Can I adopt Bam Bam if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tenerife Animal Sanctuary 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 Bam Bam 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 Bam Bam 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 Tenerife Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Bam Bam 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.

Bam Bam

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Nothing can stop our little fighter Bam Bam from living her best life. Our brave little fighter Bam Bam arrived with us about a year ago in a heart-breaking condition. She was a tiny, fragile kitten, terrified and suffering from severe, life-threatening infections in both of her eyes. At first, her future looked incredibly uncertain, and we feared she might not survive the ordeal she was facing. But Bam Bam is a fighter and so is our team. Together with our vets, we provided around-the-clock care, intensive medication, and all the love we could give. Slowly, the infections began to clear. Although the damage to her eyesight was permanent, she recovered far better than we ever dared hope. In fact, she healed so well that she didn’t need the risky surgery we once thought would be unavoidable. Her limited vision doesn’t hold her back in the slightest. Bam Bam has grown into a confident, affectionate, and clever young cat who navigates her world beautifully. She has become Iggy’s best friend and she adores spending her days in the Kindergarten, soaking up cuddles from the children and enjoying all of the attention. Bam Bam isn’t shy about expressing herself, either. She’ll happily let you know when she’s hungry, wants something, or simply feels like being the center of affection. From a fragile, frightened kitten to a cherished member of our sanctuary family, Bam Bam has truly blossomed and her story reminds us every day just how resilient love can make even the tiniest of souls.

About Bam Bam

What life with Bam Bam looks like

Bam Bam is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇪🇸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.
