Gatita

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten

Description Gatita lived in an industrial park, wandering all its streets asking for food and attention but always returning to a warehouse where sponge mattresses were manufactured, there she slept more comfortably and warm until one night the entire warehouse burned down with Gatita inside, as the sponge melted, pieces fell on her, and she barely managed to escape but was gravely injured, with a large area of her back burned. She was hidden for a time, we don't know how she survived, when she was seen, she was taken to the veterinarian where her wounds were fully treated and she was spayed. In her feline character something changed, she became a bit more mistrustful. Now at the animal shelter, we seek to heal her emotional wounds, give her the security she lost that night, little by little she will regain her previous character with the love of all the volunteers.

Descripción Gatita vivía en un polígono industrial, se paseaba por todas sus calles pidiendo comida y atención pero siempre volvía a una nave donde se fabricaban colchones de esponja, allí dormía mas cómoda y calentita hasta que una noche la nave se quemo en su totalidad con Gatita dentro, al fundirse la esponja le cayeron trozos encima, consiguió a malas penas salir pero quedo gravemente herida, con una zona muy amplia de su espalda quemada. Estuvo escondida un tiempo, no sabemos como pudo sobrevivir, cuando se dejo ver, se la llevó al veterinario donde terminaron de curar sus heridas y se esterilizó. En el carácter de gatita algo cambió, se volvió un poco desconfiada, ahora en el albergue buscamos curar sus heridas emocionales, darle la seguridad que esa noche perdió, poco a poco ira recuperando su anterior carácter con el amor de todos los voluntarios.

About Gatita

What life with Gatita looks like

Gatita is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Keywords in Spain.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇪🇸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 Gatita, answered.

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