Bonita

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

November 2024, Dagboek van Fabienne: Brisa stond hoogzwanger aan de poort van het asiel. Ze presenteerde zich op een morgen aan de poort van het asiel in Algeciras, hoogzwanger en uitgehongerd. Ze liet zich niet zomaar vangen, maar met de vangkooi is het uiteindelijk wel gelukt. Amper twee dagen later beviel ze van 6 kleine kittens. Brisa was enorm bang in het begin maar stilaan werd ze een ontspannen mama voor haar kleintjes. Gelukkig worden dit de laatsten die ze op de wereld heeft moeten zetten. De kleintjes weten gelukkig van niets en groeiden zorgeloos op, maar hun mama ging door een ware hel. De vrijwilligers verzorgen hen met alle liefde en dat was voor hen een goede start. Mama heeft tijd nodig om je te leren kennen, dan pas ontspant ze en geeft ze jou vriendschap. Ze is een projectje van tijd, zeker geen kant en klaar poesje want ze heeft een rugzakje. Haar zes kittens zijn: Bobby, Bonita, Bibbi, Blumi, Buddy en Minka. Buddy, Bobby en Minky zijn de meest speelse en sociale kittens van het nest, de andere drie hebben mama haar terughoudende karakter meegekregen. Alweer een triest verhaal, waarin een zoveelste katje verwaarloosd en mishandeld werd.

About Bonita

What life with Bonita looks like

Bonita is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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 Bonita, answered.

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