Dixie

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Dixie is a beautiful cat born in July 2019. She lived together with other cats with an elderly person, but after that person passed away, none of the relatives wanted to take care of them... and, from one day to the next, Dixie lost everything. Now she is at the shelter, a place she doesn't understand and that feels strange to her. She went from having a home to living alone, and she is very frightened. Dixie tested positive for Feline Leukemia (FeLV), a disease that is contagious among cats but is not transmitted to people or other species. Because of this, she needs to live without contact with other cats, which in the shelter means being completely alone, something that greatly affects her emotional well-being. For this reason, we are urgently looking for an indefinite foster home for her, a quiet home where she can feel safe and accompanied. The rescue will take care of all the veterinary checkups and treatments she may need for the rest of her life. Can you offer Dixie the calm home she so badly needs?

Dixie es una preciosa gata nacida en julio de 2019. Vivía junto a otros gatos con una persona mayor, pero tras su fallecimiento, ninguno de los familiares quiso hacerse cargo de ellos… y, de un día para otro, Dixie lo perdió todo. Ahora se encuentra en el refugio, un lugar que no entiende y que le resulta extraño. Ha pasado de tener un hogar a vivir en soledad, y está muy asustada. Dixie es positiva a Leucemia Felina (FeLV), una enfermedad contagiosa entre gatos, pero que no se transmite a personas ni a otras especies. Debido a ello, necesita vivir sin contacto con otros gatos, lo que en el refugio significa estar completamente sola, algo que afecta mucho a su bienestar emocional. Por este motivo, buscamos con urgencia una acogida indefinida para ella, un hogar tranquilo donde pueda sentirse segura y acompañada. Desde la protectora nos haremos cargo de todos los controles y tratamientos veterinarios que pueda necesitar durante toda su vida. ¿Puedes ofrecerle a Dixie el hogar tranquilo que tanto necesita?

Frequently asked

Adopting Dixie, answered.

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