GUS

Mixed Breed · Male

GUS is an adult cat that was previously considered "feral." The animal shelter received him in this condition, but we believe it was because he had not been treated well. At first, he did not let anyone touch him, but over time he started to trust the people at the animal shelter, realizing they did not want to harm him, and gradually he seemed to ask to enter the cat enclosure that surrounded him, where there were cats he had already met through the fence and got along well with. We let him in one day and now he is the king. 👑 👤 At first, he was very shy and distant with people, but over time he has become a very friendly and affectionate cat, asking for pets just by seeing you, so we think that adoption will require an adaptation period with the new family until reaching the same point, or maybe not! ❤️ 🐱 He currently lives with other cats in the same cat enclosure and has no problems at all. 🐶 Dogs do not really like him through the fences, even though it depends on the dog. In any case, proper introductions would be necessary and it would be good to allow him to escape if needed. 🏡 For him, we are looking for a home where they teach him what real people are, where he is loved and cared for as he deserves, and where they do not give him reason to leave again from a place where he does not feel loved. ❤️‍🩹 💊 He is negative for FIV and FeLV.

Al refugi va arribar amb aquesta condició però creiem que devía ser perque no l'havien tractat gaire bé 💔 Al principi no es deixava tocar gens però amb el temps va anar agafant confiança de les persones del refugi, veient que no li volien cap mal, i mica en mica va semblar que demanés d’entrar a la gatera que voltava, on hi havia els gats que ja havia conegut a través de la reixa i es duia bé. Vam deixar-lo entrar un dia i ara és el rei. 👑 👤 Amb les persones al principi es mostrava molt poruc i distant, amb el temps però s’ha tornat un gat molt afable i carinyós, demanant carícies només veure’t, per el que pensem que l’adopció haurà de dur un període d’adaptació amb la nova família fins arribar al mateix punt, o potser no! ❤️ 🐱 Actualment conviu amb altres gats a la mateixa gatera i no te cap mena de problema. 🐶 Els gossos, a través de les tanques no li agraden gaire, tot i que depèn del gos. En qualsevol cas caldria realitzar les presentacions adequades i facilitar-li la fugida si ho necessita. 🏡 Per ell busquem una llar on li ensenyin el que son les persones de debò, l’estimin i el cuidin com es mereix i no li donin peu a tornar a marxar d’allà on no se sent estimat. ❤️‍🩹 💊 És negatiu en FIV i FeLV.

About GUS

What life with GUS looks like

GUS is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at APAN — Protectora d 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 GUS, answered.

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