Chispa

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

A discreet cat who only needs a quiet home to shine Chispa was born around June 2018. She was found abandoned on the street, and although we don't know her history, it seems likely that she was once a domestic cat that was left behind. When she arrived at the animal shelter, fear dominated her: she would run away at the sight of anyone approaching from a distance. Over time, she has improved significantly, and now she shows more calm in the presence of people, although she still retains a certain level of distrust. We believe her attitude is a result of what she has experienced on the street and the stress of living with so many other cats in the animal shelter. But we believe that in a quiet home, with patience and affection, Chispa could regain her confidence and display her more serene and gentle side. We are looking for a family with experience, without children, who do not expect a loving cat from the first day, but who want to offer her the opportunity to live in peace, away from fear and abandonment. Do you want to be the one to give her that opportunity? Learn about the adoption process and fill out the form here:. This animal is not suitable for homes with children.

Una gata discreta que solo necesita un hogar tranquilo para brillar Chispa nació aproximadamente en junio de 2018. Fue encontrada abandonada en la calle, y aunque no conocemos su historia, todo indica que alguna vez fue una gata doméstica que fue dejada atrás. Cuando llegó al refugio, el miedo la dominaba: salía corriendo con solo ver a alguien a lo lejos. Con el tiempo ha mejorado mucho, y ahora se muestra más tranquila en presencia de personas, aunque aún conserva cierta desconfianza. Creemos que su actitud es fruto de lo que ha vivido en la calle y del estrés de convivir con tantos otros gatos en el refugio. Pero creemos que en un hogar tranquilo, con paciencia y cariño, Chispa podría recuperar la confianza y mostrar su lado más sereno y dulce. Buscamos para ella una familia con experiencia, sin niños, que no espere una gata cariñosa desde el primer día, sino que quiera ofrecerle la oportunidad de vivir en paz, lejos del miedo y del abandono.
