Colombo

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 1 year

Colombo was among colony cats one day, he was clearly a domestic cat because he had no idea what to do to defend himself, let alone find food. We were contacted and took him under our wings, he was dirty, had scars but was a true sweetheart from second 1! He is a young cat, probably purchased as a kitten and now not cute enough or too much work. Our Colombo will undoubtedly become an ideal housemate!

Colombo zat op een dag tussen koloniekatten, hij was duidelijk een huiskatje want hij wist totaal niet wat hij moest doen om zich te verdedigen, laat staan aan eten te komen. We werden gecontacteerd en namen hem onder onze vleugels, hij was vies, had littekens maar was vanaf seconde 1 een ware lieve schat! Hij is een jong katje, waarschijnlijk aangeschaft als kitten en nu niet meer schattige genoeg of teveel werk. Onze Colombo zal zonder twijfel een ideale huisgenoot worden!

About Colombo

What life with Colombo looks like

Colombo is a 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Colombo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Colombo?: 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 Colombo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Colombo 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 Colombo 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 Colombo 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 Colombo 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.
