Luca

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Luca es un espectacular gato atigrado de 3 años con un pelaje grisáceo marcado por unas rayas oscuras preciosas, unos ojos verdes almendrados súper expresivos y una carita redonda que dan ganas de achuchar a todas horas. En la foto se nota que tiene esa mirada de bonachón y sutil superioridad que solo los grandes felinos domésticos dominan. A sus 3 añitos está en la edad perfecta: es un gato joven y vital, pero con la madurez suficiente como para no destrozarte las cortinas. Es el compañero ideal para tumbarse contigo en el sofá, vigilar desde la ventana que todo esté en orden en el vecindario y recordarte con un sutil maullido que su plato de comida está un 2% vacío. Si buscas un minino con porte de tigre en miniatura, mirada magnética y un corazón enorme, ¡Luca ha venido para quedarse con tus mejores rincones de la casa! Cabe destacar que es positivo a Leucemia Felina (FeLV). Actualmente no presenta síntomas y hace una vida completamente normal, pero debido a su condición inmunológica, necesita ser el único gato de la casa o convivir exclusivamente con otros felinos que tengan su mismo diagnóstico.

About Luca

What life with Luca looks like

Luca is a young adult european shorthair cat waiting at Centro de Proteccion Animal de Madrid in Madrid.

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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Luca, answered.

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