Madrita

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Madrita (with a short tail) had been hiding with her kittens in a garden for weeks, where people had been feeding her and trying to gain her trust. Eventually, they were able to catch her and her kittens and bring them to us. It took some time, but Madrita was the first to emerge, and then we saw that her belly was quite large. It turned out that she was pregnant again. One thing is certain, she will be a mother for the last time, and now she can raise her kittens in a safe environment before being spayed. We hope that someone will step forward to take Madrita into their home and heart soon. Madrita is a sweetheart and a unique Andalusian cat with a marble coat.

Madrita (met een kort staartje) leefde al weken verscholen met haar kittens in een tuin van mensen, ze gaven haar eten en probeerden haar vertrouwen te winnen. Uiteindelijk konden ze haar en haar kittens vangen en brachten ze naar ons. Ze hadden tijd nodig, de eerste die ontpopte was Madrita maar toen zagen we ook dat haar buikje nogal groot was en wat bleek? Ze had opnieuw kittens in haar buik. 1 ding is zeker, ze zal voor de laatste keer mama worden en nu kan ze haar kittens in een veilige omgeving opvoeden waarna ze steriel zal gemaakt worden. We hopen zo dat er snel iemand naar voor stapt om Madrita op te nemen in hun thuis en hart. Madrita is een schatje en een uniek Andalusisch poesje met de marmeren vacht.

About Madrita

What life with Madrita looks like

Madrita is a large young adult european shorthair cat waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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 (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Madrita, answered.

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