Luca

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 3 years

Luca was picked up off the street with his eye completely lost and infected (as you can see in one of the photos), so it was necessary to remove it. Luca lives at the shelter, waiting for a home. He gets along well with the other cats, and he craves a lot of our attention because he is extremely affectionate and is not made for life in a shelter.

Luca fue recogido de la calle con el ojo totalmente perdido e infectado (como podéis ver en una de las fotos). Por lo que fue preciso enuclearselo. Luca vive en el refugio esperando un hogar. Se lleva bien con el resto de gatos y demanda mucha atención nuestra porque es ultra mimoso y no está hecho para vivir en un refugio.

About Luca

What life with Luca looks like

Luca is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Colaboración Animal La Rioja in Spain.

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. Colaboración Animal La Rioja 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 — Colaboración Animal La Rioja 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 Colaboración Animal La Rioja 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.
