Adopt Curazao cari

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Curazao hasn't had much luck in life and urgently needs a change. He was born in a chalet where several cats snuck in during a summer vacation, and he arrived at our animal shelter with just five months old. Today, he is already two years old. From the start, he has been a friendly, affectionate, and very sociable cat with other cats, but sadly, also an invisible one. Curazao didn't win the genetic lottery: from a young age, he has had some health issues. Currently, he lives with chronic rhinitis and a few other minor problems. He has already been hospitalized for several months because we couldn't get him to improve enough to return to the cattery. And although we tried everything, we believe the underlying cause is more profound: loneliness is dimming his light. Curazao needs company. He loves being with people and other cats. At the animal shelter, many days he only eats if someone is with him. His mood affects his defenses, and his defenses affect his recovery. It's a cycle that we can only break if someone gives him the chance to be in a home. That's why we urgently seek foster care or adoption. Someone who can care for him, keep him in a quiet environment, ideally without other cats or with temporary separation, and give him the affection and care he so desperately needs, even if it's just for a few months. Curazao is eagerly waiting. And so are we. Because we know that with love, company, and a little stability, this invisible cat can finally start shining. He is already neutered and vaccinated. Test FELV-FIV-Heartworm negative.

Curazao no ha tenido demasiada suerte en la vida y necesita urgentemente un cambio. Nació en un chalet donde varios gatos se colaron durante unas vacaciones de verano, y llegó a nuestro albergue con solo cinco mesecitos. Hoy tiene ya dos años. Desde el principio ha sido un gato simpático, cariñoso y muy sociable con otros gatos pero también, tristemente, un invisible. Curazao no ganó la lotería genética: desde pequeño ha tenido algunos problemas de salud. Actualmente convive con rinitis crónica y algunos otros problemas menores. Lleva ya varios meses hospitalizado porque no conseguimos que remonte lo suficiente como para volver a las gateras. Y aunque lo intentamos todo, creemos que la causa de fondo es más profunda: la soledad le está apagando. Curazao necesita compañía. Le encanta estar con personas y con otros gatos. En el albergue, muchos días solo come si alguien está con él mientras tanto. Su estado de ánimo afecta a sus defensas, y sus defensas afectan a su recuperación. Es un círculo que solo podemos romper si alguien le da la oportunidad de estar en un hogar. Por eso, buscamos con urgencia una acogida o adopción. Alguien que pueda cuidarle, tenerle en un ambiente tranquilo, idealmente sin otros gatos o con separación temporal, y darle el cariño y los cuidados que tanto necesita, incluso si es solo unos meses. Curazao lo está deseando. Y nosotros también. Porque sabemos que con amor, compañía y un poco de estabilidad, este gato invisible puede por fin empezar a brillar. Ya está castrado y vacunado. Test FELV-FIV-FILARIA negativo. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos

About Curazao cari

What life with Curazao cari looks like

Curazao cari is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

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 Curazao cari, answered.

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