Lourdes

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 8 months

Lourdes is a young and beautiful cat with a unique coat - white fur with black tail, crown, and one blue eye and the other green. She was found in April 2026 and brought to the vet for health checks and spaying. Initially underweight, she spent some time recovering at home before falling ill again. The vet diagnosed her low immunity and condition as likely caused by previous abandonment-related stress. Her rescuer decided Lourdes would never go back on the streets; she'd be safe until a real home was found. Now, Lourdes is ready for a new life. She's a kind, sweet, and grateful cat. She needs a quiet home where she can be an individual or live with one other cat, as she doesn't do well around many felines. Do you want to give her that chance? Lourdes just needs a home where she'll be looked at like she does - with trust and the desire to love back.

Descripción Preciosa mirada: un ojo azul y el otro verde. Lourdes busca un hogar donde por fin pueda sentirse segura y querida. Es una gatita jovencita, preciosa y muy especial: pelaje blanco con su colita y coronita negras� y un detalle único que enamora a cualquiera: un ojo azul y el otro verde. Una auténtica maravilla. Cuando fue detectada en abril de 2026, se acercó ella misma en busca de ayuda. Su rescatista la llevó de inmediato al veterinario para valorar su salud y castrarla. Estaba muy delgada, así que pasó unos días convaleciente en casa, recuperándose poco a poco. Pero entonces, Lourdes enfermó. Se la llevó nuevamente al veterinario, quien determinó que su bajada de defensas y su estado se debían al estrés, probablemente consecuencia de un abandono previo. Desde ese momento, su rescatista decidió que no volvería a la calle: Lourdes se quedaba a salvo mientras encontraba un hogar de verdad. Hoy, Lourdes está lista para empezar una nueva vida. Es una niña buena, dulce y agradecida. Necesita un hogar tranquilo, donde pueda ser gata única o convivir solo con un gato más, ya que no lo pasa bien rodeada de muchos felinos. ¿Quieres ser tú quien le dé esa oportunidad? Lourdes solo necesita un hogar donde la miren como ella mira: con confianza y ganas de querer.

About Lourdes

What life with Lourdes looks like

Lourdes is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Sálvanos Protectora 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 Lourdes, answered.

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