Adopt Iván

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten

Description Iván has a story like many cats in the world: born and raised on the streets, navigating hunger and dangers like cars, motorcycles, and bad people who harm the most defenseless until he couldn't avoid a vehicle and suffered an accident in which both his hind legs were fractured. He spent a lot of time in recovery at a foster care home and is now fully recovered, walking and running without a problem, and, above all, playing with a cardboard box that he loves. However, Iván doesn't fully trust people and prefers to keep a certain distance from them, feeling secure in doing so. We respect his space and will gradually try to earn his trust without forcing any situation, which will be when he decides, because the most important thing is that Iván feels calm, safe, and happy.

Descripción Iván tiene una historia como la de miles de gatos en el mundo: nacido y crecido en la calle, sorteando el hambre y peligros como coches, motos y mala gente que hace daño a los más indefensos hasta que no pudo esquivar un vehículo y sufrió un atropello en el que se le fracturaron sus dos patitas traseras. Ha pasado mucho tiempo en reposo en una casa de acogida y se encuentra completamente recuperado, anda y corretea sin problema y, sobre todo, juega con una caja de cartón que le encanta. Sin embargo, Iván no termina de confiar en las personas y prefiere mantener cierta distancia con ellas, así es como se siente seguro. Nosotras respetamos su espacio y poco a poco intentaremos ganarnos su confianza sin forzar ninguna situación, será cuando él lo decida, porque lo principal es que Iván se sienta tranquilo, seguro y feliz.

About Iván

What life with Iván looks like

Iván is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Keywords in Spain.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇪🇸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 Iván, answered.

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