Ethel

Domestic Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Ethel is a beautiful tabby-coated cat who was rescued from the Marbella Camping on July 12th, 2025. She arrived very thin, but little by little she has regained weight and has become a healthy, lovely and very pretty cat. She is a calm and affectionate cat, although a bit shy if approached too abruptly. Once she feels safe, she enjoys cuddles and human contact. Ethel lives peacefully with other cats, but she does not need their company to be happy. She prefers to spend much of her time resting on her scratching post, calmly observing and enjoying her own space. She is currently free in the cattery, relaxed and well adapted to her environment. Ethel is looking for a forever home where her pace and gentle personality will be respected — a quiet place where she can continue to live safely and surrounded by care and affection. 📩 If you would like to meet Ethel and give her the opportunity she deserves, please contact us: 📸 Follow us on Instagram:

About Ethel

What life with Ethel looks like

Ethel is a small young adult domestic shorthair cat waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

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 Ethel, answered.

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