Gina

Mixed Breed · Female

The Gina is one of those kittens that leave a mark on your heart. Her story is hard, but also one of survival, strength, and love. ✨ Despite being very young, the Gina had already had to fight too much. She was part of a rescue we conducted together with other animal rescue associations: several pregnant cats and nursing mothers living in a shed, in very difficult conditions and with insufficient food. 🥺 Among all the associations, we rescued six cats. Each one took in one of them, and we had the luck to take in the Gina with her four kittens. 💕🐱 The kittens were very small and very weak. The Gina doted on them with affection and cared for them tirelessly, but she herself was so malnourished that her body couldn't give them everything they needed. We fought by her side and did everything possible to save them, but unfortunately, they didn't make it. 🌈💔 Despite everything she has lived through, the Gina hasn't lost her affection. And that is what most amazes us about her.

La Gina és una d'aquelles gatetes que et deixen empremta al cor. La seva història és dura, però també és una història de supervivència, de força i d'amor. ✨ Tot i ser molt jove, la Gina ja havia hagut de lluitar massa. Formava part d'un rescat que vam fer juntament amb altres protectores: diverses gates embarassades i mares lactants que malvivien en un paller, en unes condicions molt difícils i amb una alimentació insuficient. 🥺 Entre totes les associacions vam rescatar sis gates. Cadascuna va acollir una d'elles, i nosaltres vam tenir la sort de portar-nos la Gina amb els seus quatre petitons. 💕🐱 Els nadons eren molt menuts i estaven molt dèbils. La Gina els estimava amb bogeria i els cuidava sense descans, però ella mateixa estava tan desnodrida que el seu cos no podia donar-los tot el que necessitaven. Vam lluitar al seu costat i vam fer tot el possible per salvar-los, però malauradament no ho van aconseguir. 🌈💔 Malgrat tot el que ha viscut, la Gina no ha deixat d'estimar. I això és el que més ens meravella d'ella. ❤️

About Gina

What life with Gina looks like

Gina is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Barcelona Gat i Gos in Spain.

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 Gina, answered.

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