How do I contact the shelter about DIEGO?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. APAN — Protectora d handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw DIEGO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt DIEGO if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — APAN — Protectora d 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 DIEGO 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 DIEGO 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 APAN — Protectora d early rather than rehoming privately; they know DIEGO 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 (CA). 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.

DIEGO

Mixed Breed · Male

DIEGO is an adult cat who has been with us for a long time at the animal shelter. From the beginning, he has always been distant with people and quite shy, and the fact of living in a large space like the cat enclosures of the animal shelter, which allow him to escape and hide in many places, does not really help the development of kittens with his profile 💔 However, over time (a lot of time), he has become more visible than usual, even though touching him is still a challenge. 👤 With people, if you don't make much noise, he will hide and watch you from his hiding place patiently until you leave. With people he already knows from the animal shelter, he's not a super affectionate and social cat, but he does come out of his den and is seen much more. 🐱 He lives in the cat enclosure with other cats without any problem, socializes and plays with them often and they even have their snack together. 🐶 Dogs, through the fences, don't seem to please him much; when he sees us passing, he hides, but we aren't 100% sure if it's because of the dogs or us 🫣 🏡 For him, we are looking for a home where they respect him as he is, without forcing him and letting him go at his own pace; we are sure he can be a great cat for someone who doesn't look for a plush toy ❤️‍🩹 💊 He is negative for FIV and FeLV.

Per a més informació clica al botó ADOPTA'M És un gat adult que porta molt temps amb nosaltres al refugi. Des de un inici sempre s’ha mostrat distant amb les persones i força poruc, i el fet de viure a un espai gran com les gateres del refugi, que permeten fugir i amagar-se per molts llocs no facilita gaire l’evolució de gatets amb un perfil com el seu 💔 Amb el temps però (molt), s’ha anat deixant veure més del normal tot i que tocar-lo encara és un repte. 👤 Amb les persones, si no et te gaire vista, s’amagarà i t’observarà des de el seu amagatall pacient a que marxis. Amb les persones que ja coneix del refugi, tampoc es que es mostri un gat súper carinyós i sociable amb les persones però si que surt del seu cau i es deixa veure bastant més. 🐱 Conviu a la gatera amb altres gats sense cap mena de problema, socialitza i juga amb ells sovint i fan la croqueta junts. 🐶 Els gossos, a través de les tanques no li semblen agradar gaire, quan ens veu passar s’amaga, però no saben 100% si es per els gossos o per nosaltres 🫣 🏡 Per ell busquem una llar on el respectin tal com és, que no li forcin i el deixin anar al seu ritme, estem segures de que pot ser un gat genial per algú que no busca un peluix ❤️‍🩹 💊 És negatiu en FIV i FeLV.
