About Irene

What life with Irene looks like

Irene is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Centro de Protección Animal de Parla 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Irene, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Irene?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Centro de Protección Animal de Parla handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Irene on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Irene if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Centro de Protección Animal de Parla 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Irene 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 Irene 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 Centro de Protección Animal de Parla early rather than rehoming privately; they know Irene 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.
