About KAI

What life with KAI looks like

KAI is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at CATAD - Centro de Atención y Tratamiento Animal de Cartagena in Cartagena.

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 KAI, answered.

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