Claire

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

Claire came to us with her 4 kittens, Cedar, Cornflakes, Caviar, and Carrot. At first, she was very suspicious, but now that she's separated from her kittens, she's slowly but surely showing her true nature. She's a bit shy, but she can definitely enjoy being petted and getting attention from her caregivers. Where can our Claire come home to forever and always?

Claire is bij ons binnengekomen met haar 4 kittens, Cedar, Cornflakes, Caviar en Carrot. In het begin was ze heel achterdochtig maar nu ze gescheiden is van haar kittens laat ze traag maar zeker haar ware aard tonen. Ze is ietwat timide maar kan zeker genieten van geaaid te worden en aandacht te krijgen van haar verzorgers. Waar mag onze Claire voor eeuwig en altijd thuiskomen.

About Claire

What life with Claire looks like

Claire is an 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Claire, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Claire?: 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 Claire on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Claire 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Claire 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 Claire 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 Claire 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.
