Catpool

Male · Adult · 6 years

This boy was initially taken in with several suspicious punctures in the abdominal area. At the veterinary clinic, it was concluded that he had an undescended testicle and all indications are that the punctures were unsuccessful attempts to find it. Despite everything he has been through, he is a sweet, resilient, and confident cat, ready to leave the past behind and find a home where he will never again be treated as just a clinical case. He deserves to finally be seen for what he is: a lively and tender being waiting for a happy ending. 🐾💙 Hello! I'm Catpool and I just want to find a loving family to call my own! Could it be yours?

Este menino foi inicialmente recolhido com várias perfurações suspeitas na zona abdominal. Já na clínica veterinária, concluiu-se que ele tinha um testículo incluso e tudo indica que as perfurações tenham sido tentativas mal-sucedidas de o encontrar. Apesar de tudo o que passou, é um gato doce, resiliente e confiante, pronto para deixar o passado para trás e encontrar um lar onde nunca mais seja tratado como um simples caso clínico. Ele merece finalmente ser visto como aquilo que é: um ser cheio de vida e ternura à espera de um final feliz. 🐾💙 Olá! Sou o Catpool e só quero encontrar uma família amorosa para chamar de minha! Será que é a tua? 🥹❤️

About Catpool

What life with Catpool looks like

Catpool is a adult cat waiting at Cantinho do Tareco in Portugal.

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 Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting Catpool, answered.

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