How do I contact the shelter about Laia?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Laia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Laia if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina 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 Laia 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 Laia 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 Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina early rather than rehoming privately; they know Laia 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.

Adopt Laia

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

Laia and MAIO are the offspring of MEDUSA, a supermom who gave birth safely with us and cared for them with love, affection, and attention. Laia is very shy, feeling comfortable allowing her to set her own pace for receiving cuddles or "doing her thing." From time to time, she needs a can of "Ventolin" because she had a respiratory issue treated like asthma. She is small in size, loves to sleep, gets along well with other cats, and without a doubt, her brother MAIO. MAIO is fun, playful, and great, loving the cat-like posture for sleeping and running around the entire room like a maniac. He plays with all his feline friends and loves dogs. If you want to adopt either of them (did you know that two or more cats are beneficial for them and for us?????), get in touch with us right away! To give them a wonderful family to experience love and home!???? Contact: 667849696 – 657961568 www.protectoradepalencia.org ????Album of photos of Laia: ????Album of photos of MAIO: ????Album of photos of MEDUSA: Find them on Instagram: And give a follow! If you can't take them in or adopt, help us spread the word, share, give a like… You never know which "share" will lead them to their home.

LAIA y MAIO son hijos de MEDUSA, una supermami que parió a salvo con nosotros y los cuidó con cariño, mimo y esmero. LAIA es muy tímida, se siente tranquila permitiéndole su ritmo de recibir mimines o "estar a su rollo". De vez en cuando hay que darle un aerosol como "Ventolín" porque tuvo un problema respiratorio que se trata como el asma. Es pequeña de tamaño, le encanta dormir, se lleva bien con otros gatos y con el que más, sin duda, su hermano MAIO. MAIO es divertido, juguetón, buenísimo, le encanta el postureo gatuno para dormir y correr locuelo por toda la habitación, juega con todos sus compis gatunos y le encantan los perros. Si quieres adoptar alguno de ellos (¿sabes que dos o más gatos es beneficioso para ellos y para nosotros?????), ponte en contacto con nosotros ya mismo ¡para que tengan una familia estupenda con la que conocer el amor y el hogar!????????

About Laia

What life with Laia looks like

Laia is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Protectora Defensa Animal Palentina in Spain.

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.
