HAWÁI

European Shorthair · Female

Hello! I'm Hawaii. My arrival at CIMPA wasn't easy: I was abandoned along with my siblings in a box. Despite going through something so painful, today I'm ready to find a family that loves me and makes me feel safe. I'm a bit shy at first but, when I feel comfortable, I become a very friendly and curious companion. My caregivers always say I'm very good, apart from being sweet. I get along very well with other cats, but I can also be perfectly happy being an only child. Will you take me home? I promise to change your life.

¡Hola! Soy Hawái. Mi llegada al CIMPA no fue fácil: fui abandonada junto a mis hermanos en una caja. A pesar de haber pasado por algo tan doloroso, hoy estoy lista para encontrar una familia que me quiera y me haga sentir segura. Soy una gata algo tímida al principio pero, cuando me siento cómoda, me convierto en una compañera muy simpática y curiosa. Mis cuidadores siempre dicen que soy muy buena, aparte de dulce. Me llevo muy bien con otros gatos, pero también puedo ser perfectamente feliz siendo hija única. ¿Me llevas a casa? Te prometo que te cambiaré la vida.

About HAWÁI

What life with HAWÁI looks like

HAWÁI is a medium-sized adult european shorthair cat waiting at CIMPA Alcalá de Henares 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 HAWÁI, answered.

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