Adopt Greta

Female

Greta is a cat who was fed as a kitten and was in a state of malnutrition. No one realized she was pregnant or how small she appeared. Eventually, she was picked up and could be seen strolling on the terrace at the neighbor's house. She shows her character, although she is completely affectionate, but she decides the timing. When a baby arrived at home, they could no longer keep her, and the neighbor also didn't want to take her in. This is her past story, and now she is with us. She doesn't tolerate other cats but has coexisted with dogs without issue. We must help her find her new home, and it must be a place where she will be loved and understood!

Read original (es)

Greta es una gata que alimentaban de pequeña, su estado era de desnutrición, realmente no se dieron cuenta que estaba preñada, ni que era tan pequeña como parecía. Finalmente la recogieron, y se paseaba por la terraza a casa del vecino. Es una gata que muestra su carácter, aunque es totalmente cariñosa, pero ella decide el momento. A la casa llegó un bebé y ya no podían mantenerla más, y el vecino tampoco quería hacerse cargo. Esta es su historia pasada, y ahora está con nosotros. No tolera otros gatos, pero sí ha convivido con perros sin problema. Debemos ayudarla a encontrar su nuevo destino, y debe ser en una casa que la quieran y entiendan!

About Greta

What life with Greta looks like

Greta is a adult cat waiting at Defensa Felina 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 Greta, answered.

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