How do I contact the shelter about Flloyd?

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

Can I adopt Flloyd if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tenerife Animal Sanctuary 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 Flloyd 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 Flloyd 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 Tenerife Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Flloyd 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.

Flloyd

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Flloyd was our resident lion. Flloyd may have looked like he stepped straight out of a wildlife documentary, but this magnificent "lion" was, in fact, a Maine Coon. He arrived at the sanctuary after a caring lady, who adored him dearly, found herself unable to continue caring for her cats due to personal circumstances. After a long, emotional search for the right home, she felt certain that this was the place where Flloyd could live his life exactly as he wished. And he did! He had a wonderful life here with us. However, a few weeks ago we noticed Floyd was losing weight drastically, and we knew something wasn't right; he was taken straight in for full tests, blood work, and examinations and referred to a specialist for further screenings, but heartbreakingly, the night before his appointment his condition deteriorated rapidly and became critical. We rushed him to the emergency clinic, but it was already too late—Floyd was diagnosed with FIP, a severe and rare disease that causes catastrophic damage to the body. His chest and abdominal cavities had filled with fluid, and his little body simply couldn't keep up. FIP is a rare and devastating mutation of a virus that cats encounter all the time, making it all the more frightening and unfair. Losing Floyd reminded us that even with the very best care, medications, veterinarians, and the deepest love, sometimes we still cannot save them all. Floyd may no longer be physically with us, but he will always be part of us—our king, our quiet judge, forever loved and never forgotten.
