Lia

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Lia is a beautiful cat born in February 2019 whose life has not been easy. She was rescued from the street in a very fragile state and with ataxia, whose origin is unknown: it may have been due to an accident or to some viral process. Despite this, Lia leads a completely normal life. She is a cat who has managed to adapt, but the shelter is not the environment she needs. Living alongside so many cats causes her stress, and she is currently distant, something we understand as part of her need for calm and security. We are convinced that in a stable, serene home with patience, Lia will be able to trust again and bring out the affectionate and special cat she has inside. She only needs time, understanding, and a space where she can feel safe. We are looking for a calm family with experience with cats, who understands her situation and is willing to give her the great opportunity to regain calm and happiness. If you are interested in meeting her, you can read the information about the and fill out the form:

Lia es una preciosa gata nacida en febrero de 2019 cuya vida no ha sido fácil. Fue rescatada de la calle en un estado muy delicado y con ataxia, cuyo origen es desconocido: pudo deberse a un accidente o a algún proceso vírico. A pesar de ello, Lia hace vida completamente normal. Es una gata que ha sabido adaptarse, pero el refugio no es el entorno que necesita. La convivencia con tantos gatos le genera estrés y actualmente se muestra distante, algo que entendemos como parte de su necesidad de tranquilidad y seguridad. Estamos convencidos de que en un hogar estable, sereno y con paciencia, Lia podrá volver a confiar y sacar a la luz la gata cariñosa y especial que lleva dentro. Solo necesita tiempo, comprensión y ese espacio donde sentirse segura. Buscamos para ella una familia tranquila, con experiencia en gatos, que entienda su situación y esté dispuesta a darle la gran oportunidad de recuperar la calma y la felicidad.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lia, answered.

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