Adopt Kiko

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten

Description Kiko and her siblings (Kepchup, Kike, and Kiwi) come from a feral cat colony where the cats were dying because some unscrupulous person was poisoning them. Kiko is one of the littler ones in the family who has been living recently in foster care but had to return to the animal shelter because we couldn't find another place to take her. Her foster mom told us that as a baby, she was more timid and scaredy-cat than her brother Kepchup, with whom she lived, but gradually she began to trust her as she saw her brother playing and receiving endless sessions of petting. Now in the shelter, she becomes more timid, but we are sure that it’s just a matter of time and patience for her to fully trust and become the friendly and playful cat that we know she is. Who will step up to offer Kiko a new family, a soft sofa, and a lap where she can take those long naps she loves so much?

Descripción Kiko y sus hermanos (Kepchup, Kike y Kiwi) proceden de una colonia donde los gatos estaban siendo muriendo porque algún ser desaprensivo los estaba envenenando. Kiko es uno de los rubitos de la familia que ha estado viviendo hasta hace poco en una casa de acogida pero ha tenido que regresar al albergue porque no teníamos otro lugar donde poder llevarlo. Su mami de acogida nos contaba que siendo un bebé se mostraba más tímido y asustadillo que su hermano Kepchup con el que convivía, pero poco a poco empezó a confiar en ella al ver que su hermano jugaba y recibía infinitas sesiones de caricias. Ahora en el recinto se vuelve a mostrar más tímido, pero estamos seguras de que solo es cuestión de tiempo y paciencia para que confíe del todo y sea el gato afable y pizpireto que sabemos que es. ¿Quién se anima a ofrecerle una nueva familia a Kiko, un sofá mullidito y un regazo donde dormitar esas largas siestas que tanto le gusta?

About Kiko

What life with Kiko looks like

Kiko 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 Kiko, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Kiko?
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 Kiko on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Kiko 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 Kiko 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 Kiko 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 Kiko 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.
