Billy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Este precioso gatuno se llama BILLY y ha tenido la suerte de ser rescatado de la vida en la calle. Calculamos que nació aproximadamente en junio de 2021. Es un rubio muy cariñoso y sociable…uno de esos gatos que nos rompe un poquito el corazón ya que desde que vino al refugio los años han ido pasando uno tras otro. Billy ha visto pasar días, meses, años entre las paredes del refugio, viendo cómo otros compañeros encuentran una familia mientras él sigue esperando que alguien se fije en él. En estos años ni siquiera un correo preguntando por él. Ninguna familia que haya querido conocerle. Como si Billy se hubiera vuelto invisible. Y, sin embargo, Billy tiene tantísimo amor que dar. BILLY debía de llevar mucho tiempo solito en la calle, sin refugio y protección ya que, en el momento del rescate, se encontraba muy sucio, asustado y con un hambre brutal. Por fortuna, fue recogido en 2021 y desde entonces vive en la gatera con otros compis gatunos. Cuando llegó era un gatito muy tímido al que le costaba muchísimo confiar en nosotros. Pero con paciencia, cariño y tiempo, aquel pequeño asustado fue dejando atrás sus miedos y ahora se ha convertido en un gato cariñoso, sociable y tremendamente curioso. Es de esos gatos que te esperan al otro lado de la puerta cuando llegas, deseando ser el primero en saludarte y recibir unas buenas dosis de caricias. Y además, convive estupendamente con sus compañeros gatunos. Quizás nunca haya sido el gato que más ha llamado la atención. Quizás por ser adulto las oportunidades le hayan llegado con cuentagotas. Pero Billy no necesita ser perfecto ni el más joven para merecer una familia. Solo necesita que alguien decida darle una oportunidad. Después de varios años esperando, ¿serás tú quien cambie por fin su historia? ¿Te gustaría conocerle? Escríbenos y concertaremos una cita para que puedas venir al refugio y descubrir por ti mismo todo lo que Billy tiene que ofrecer. BILLY se entrega en adopción con todas las vacunas en regla, chip, cartilla veterinaria, desparasitaciones y esterilizado.

About Billy

What life with Billy looks like

Billy is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at El Refugio Escuela Marlene in Seville.

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 Billy, answered.

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