Leroy

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 13 years

Age: January - 2013 Gender: male Health: neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. Personality: abandoned at the dog pound when his owner, an elderly gentleman, ended up in a nursing home and his family could no longer take care of him. He is a very good cat but was very scared, not wanting to eat for days and letting himself starve out of sadness. His face reflects his sorrow. Finally, he is adapting and now seeks me out, asking for attention and approaching me. He gets along well with other cats. He can be adopted, but a bit of patience is necessary. He is in Extremadura, but if you want to give him a home and are outside the community, we can send him to you. He is handed over with an adoption contract (more information in adoption conditions).

About Leroy

What life with Leroy looks like

Leroy is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Gatos Ancat in Spain.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇪🇸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 Leroy, answered.

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