Mama

Mixed Breed · Female

A Mama was born in March 2018 and is a sweet, calm, and very gentle kitten. Although she is a bit shy at first, she shows her affectionate side once she feels safe. She gets along well with other cats and enjoys the company of people, winning everyone over with her serenity. She was adopted in 2020 but ended up returning to the association this year. During the veterinary evaluation, she was diagnosed with coxarthrosis, a condition that causes her pain and explains the episodes of urinating outside the litter box in the past. Since she returned to our care, this behavior has not been observed again. Mama is scheduled for surgery that will help her regain her quality of life. She is now looking for a patient and dedicated family that will look beyond her history and give her the opportunity to trust again, knowing that she deserves a home where she will be loved forever. Date of Birth: March 2018 Vaccinated, spayed, dewormed, and microchipped FIV and FELV - Adoption Form: Questions about cat adoptions:

PT·Show original

A Mama é uma gatinha meiga, tranquila e muito doce, que procura uma família com quem partilhar os seus dias. Nos primeiros contactos pode mostrar-se um pouco tímida, mas, assim que se sente segura, deixa descobrir o seu lado carinhoso. Dá-se bem com outros gatos e aprecia a companhia das pessoas, conquistando-nos com a sua serenidade. Foi adotada em 2020, mas regressou à associação este ano. Agora espera uma nova oportunidade: um lar onde possa sentir-se segura, receber carinho e voltar a fazer parte de uma família. A Mama tem problemas articulares e precisa de acompanhamento veterinário para manter o seu conforto e bem-estar. Data de nascimento: 03/2018 FIV e FeLV negativos.

About Mama

What life with Mama looks like

Mama is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Associacao Midas in Portugal.

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 Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mama, answered.

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