Adopt Derribo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Derribo is a 3-year-old cat who lived in a feral cat colony. The area where his feral cat colony was has been demolished by the City Hall, and he has nothing left. He is a large cat, incredibly sociable, affectionate, and very good. He enjoys contact with people and accepts affection and attention, but also knows how to set his boundaries calmly and assertively when he needs to. He gets along well with other cats, having always lived in a feral cat colony. Right now, he lives in our cat houses, where he is much more relaxed, but he still needs a permanent home where he can feel safe and loved. Do you want to offer a home to Derribo? Write to us, you might just be what he’s been waiting for. He is already neutered and vaccinated. Test FELV-FIV-Heartworm negative.

About Derribo

What life with Derribo looks like

Derribo 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 Derribo, answered.

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