iris

Domestic Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Iris is a beautiful tabby cat who arrived at Triple A with her four kittens: Lotus, Noah, Wren and Alba, rescued from a field in San Pedro Alcántara. After everything she has been through, she is still reserved and, for the moment, when someone approaches her, she usually prefers to go somewhere else to feel safe. Despite her shy nature, Iris is sociable with other cats and gets along with them without any problems. She needs time, patience and understanding to learn to trust people more, and we will work with her little by little to help her in that process. 📍 She is at Triple A Marbella, waiting for a home where she can feel calm and loved. 💖 Adopting Iris means giving her the opportunity to discover that she too can live surrounded by love and security.

About iris

What life with iris looks like

iris is a small young adult domestic shorthair cat waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

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.

Note from the shelter: Needs time, patience and understanding to learn to trust people

🇪🇸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 iris, answered.

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