Julián

European Shorthair · Male · Adult · 8 years

Julián appeared in a park a few months ago, seemed lost, and we were sure someone would claim him since he appeared accustomed to that area and moving freely, but no one ever came forward. The first analysis showed that he had liver issues and had worsened from being on the street without food, so he had to be hospitalized for several days to control the vomiting and loss of appetite. He is now controlled with a special food, needing check-ups every 3-6 months to ensure his liver doesn't deteriorate further. He also came with several teeth in poor condition, so he had to undergo an operating theatre and have several teeth removed. He is a loving, very calm, and sleepy cat, with a cat-like personality, meaning he enjoys affection and being listened to, but on his terms. He could coexist with another cat if the other cat is as calm as he is, although it might be better for him to be the only cat. Currently, he lives in the our area shelter with Lupito, they respect each other's space perfectly, and even sleep cheek-to-cheek, very content. Would you like to adopt him? He would need to be a calm person, preferably without children, who understands he needs his check-ups (blood tests) to monitor his liver and is willing to give a chance to a cat that really needs it. He cannot have access to the outdoors and would need to live in a protected house with grilles/netting, as he could worsen his condition if he were to get lost, and he is a plump, not very agile cat who prefers to be the master of the sofa rather than the street. We need sponsors to cover the cost of his special food and his veterinary check-ups (blood tests and ultrasounds). This animal is not suitable for homes with children.

Julián apareció hace unos meses en un parque, parecía perdido y estábamos seguros de que alguien lo reclamaría, ya que se le veía acostumbrado a estar en esa zona y moverse libremente, pero nunca lo reclamaron. La primera analítica mostró que tenía el hígado tocado y había empeorado al estar en la calle sin comer, por lo que tuvo que estar ingresado varios días para controlar los vómitos y la inapetencia. Ahora mismo está controlado con un pienso especial, necesitando revisiones cada 3-6 meses para controlar que no vaya a más. También vino con varios dientes en mal estado, por lo que tuvo que pasar por quirófano y quitarle varias piezas. Es un gato cariñoso, muy tranquilo y dormilón, y con carácter de gato, es decir, le gusta el cariño y que le hagan caso, pero cuando él quiere. Podría convivir con otro gato en el caso de que sea tranquilo como él, aunque quizá sería mejor para él ser gato único. Ahora mismo vive en el despacho de Abrazo Animal con Lupito, se respetan los espacios perfectamente e incluso duermen espalda con espalda tan contentos. ¿Te gustaría adoptarle? Tendría que ser una persona tranquila, mejor sin niños, que tenga en cuenta que tiene que tener sus revisiones (analíticas) para controlar su hígado y que quiera darle una oportunidad a un gato que realmente lo necesita. No podría tener acceso al exterior y tendría que ser una casa protegida con rejas/mosquiteras, ya que podría empeorar su estado si se perdiese, además de que es un gato regordete no muy ágil, que prefiere ser el dueño del sofá que de la calle. Necesitamos padrinos para cubrir los gastos de su pienso especial y de sus revisiones veterinarias (analíticas y ecografías) hasta que encontremos un hogar que le de la oportunidad que merece Si eres un adoptante responsable, no dudes en escribirnos a

About Julián

What life with Julián looks like

Julián is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Abrazo Animal in Madrid.

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 Julián, answered.

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