Adopt Linda

Female · Kitten

Description Linda has had a tough three years of life, being abandoned twice. First, she was left on the street with her siblings León and Lomba as if she were trash, and then, after two years, she was returned to this breed our shelter. When she left, she was a happy, lively, and playful cat, raised on a bottle by one of our colleagues. But she returned being a fearful and very mistrustful cat of people. Her adopter told a unbelievable story about how the cat had started to attack her due to her emotions and stress, which had caused her urinary problems. Evidently, there was a part of the story she did not want to share. The cat arrived at the animal shelter very aggressive and immediately went to the home of a colleague with much experience in similar cases. It took many months of work to make her feel safe, calm, and relaxed in the presence of people. For the first two months, she only came out from under the sofa at night, but gradually she began to trust, but she has never attacked anyone in the house nor has she become aggressive at any point. We understand that there was something happening with her adopter that we do not know. She has been in foster care for 10 months, and the change has been spectacular. She is affectionate and very sweet. She loves being touched, she rolls on her back, and she likes to snuggle on your lap. Finally, she has regained her trust. She loves eating pate and has not had any urinary problems. Her adopter told us that she does not get along well with other animals, and we have not introduced any because we think she would be better off without other animals. You are encouraged to meet her; she is ready to find her permanent home. This animal needs to be the only pet in the home.

Descripción Linda lo ha pasado bastante mal en sus tres años de vida, siendo abandonada dos veces. Primero la dejaron en la calle junto a su hermanitos León y Lomba como si de basura se tratase y posteriormente, tras dos años fue devuelta al albergue. Cuando se fue era una gata alegre, vivaracha y juguetona, fue criada a biberón por una de nuestras compañeras, pero regreso siendo una gata asustadiza y muy desconfiada de las personas. Su adoptante nos conto una historia inverosímil sobre que la gata la había empezado a atacar por sus emociones y por el estrés había tenido problemas urinarios. Evidentemente hay una parte de la historia que no nos quiso contar. La gata llego al albergue muy agresiva e inmediatamente se fue a casa de una compañera con mucha experiencia en casos similares. Han sido muchos meses de trabajo con ella para que volviese a sentirse segura, tranquila y relajada en presencia de las personas. Los dos primeros meses solo salía de debajo del sofá por la noche y poco a poco empezó a confiar, pero jamás ha atacado a nadie de la casa ni se ha vuelto a poner agresiva en ningún momento. Entendemos que hay algo que pasaba con su adoptante que no sabemos. Lleva 10 meses en su casa de acogida y el cambio ha sido espectacular. Es cariñosa y muy dulce. Le encanta que la toques, se pone panza arriba y le gusta acurrucarse encima de tu regazo. Por fin ha vuelto a confiar. Le encanta comer pate y no ha tenido ningún problema urinario. La adoptante nos conto que no se lleva bien con otros animales y no le he hemos introducido otros porque pensamos que es una gata que estaría mejor sin otros animales. Te animas a conocerla, ella está lista para encontrar su hogar definitivo.

About Linda

What life with Linda looks like

Linda is a puppy/kitten 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 Linda, answered.

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