Mariona

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Mariona fecha de nacimiento / dob: 30-07-2025 aprox.Personality: Mariona is, officially, the Chief Explorer of the household 🏞️ Brave, curious, and always ready to investigate any corner, nook, box, suspicious shadow, or package that has entered the house in the last 30 seconds 👀. She also keeps an eye on what’s happening in the outside world, so she’s always ready to gossip by the window. One of her favorite pastimes is watching a good animal documentary on TV—she thinks she’s right there in the middle of nature.She has enough energy to compete in the Olympics 🥇 Her favorite place for acrobatics is the bed: that’s where she transforms into a ninja, darting around at full speed chasing her favorite feather wand, spinning, and celebrating every game of tug-of-war. Sometimes she even lets out a tiny victory growl 😤✨ And if her human lets go of the toy… Mariona grabs it and carries it off as her personal trophy. (“I won, thanks.”)Even though she’s full of energy, her sweetest moment comes when she gets tired and decides it’s time for some social recharging 💞 Mariona has an adorable way of communicating: she meows and chirps like a bird when she greets you, when she wants cuddles, wet food, or playtime 😹 Other times, she gives you a gentle head bump or sits right next to you, leaning her body against yours and looking up with those eyes that basically say: “yes, human, you may melt now,” before turning on the engine—a purr so loud it could power a motorcycle. Chin and belly scratches are her personal spa 💆‍♀️You can pick her up and feel her purring. She’s also a master baker: she loves making biscuits, especially next to her sister Maria. Sometimes Maria joins in, but more as a supervisor of this feline MasterChef 👩‍🍳🐱 And once the kneading is done… it’s time for diplomatic grooming: Mariona loves to clean her sister Maria very affectionately… before starting a playful fight that they both adore. That said, she’s almost always the one who starts the feline party 🎉Mariona, Maria, and Arnau come from an uncontrolled colony at a hospital in Lleida. Mariona was the first to show herself, meowing and looking for food scraps. After a couple of days, her siblings appeared. They couldn’t stay there… so we stepped in 💪💖If adopting as a pair we recommend: her sister Maria.Can Iive with kids? Yes, with the necessary adaptationCan live with other animals? Yes. They have lived well with a dog in one of their foster homes after the proper introductions were made. Ideal home: Living with her sister Maria or other compatible cat(s) in any type of family, whether single, a couple, or a larger family. A balcony or terrace is always a plus! ************************************** Personalidad: Mariona es, oficialmente, la Exploradora en Jefe del hogar 🏞️ Valiente, curiosa y siempre lista para investigar cualquier rincón, hueco, caja, sombra sospechosa o paquete que haya entrado en casa en los últimos 30 segundos 👀. También está pendiente de lo que sucede en el mundo exterior, así que siempre está lista para cotillear por la ventana. Su entretenimiento también es ver un buen documental de animales a través de la TV, piensa que está en medio la naturaleza. Tiene bastante energía para competir en las olimpiadas 🥇Su lugar favorito para las acrobacias es la cama: ahí se transforma en una ninja, arrastrándose a toda velocidad detrás de su varita de plumas favorita, dando vueltas y celebrando ese juego de tira y afloja. A veces incluso suelta un gruñidito de victoria 😤✨. Y si su humano suelta el juguete… Mariona lo recoge y se lo lleva como su trofeo personal. (“Yo gané, gracias”). Aunque tiene energía, su momento más tierno llega cuando se cansa y decide que es hora de recarga social 💞. Mariona tiene un método de comunicación adorable, algunos maullidos y gorjea como un pájaro cuando te saluda, cuando quiere mimos, comida húmeda o jugar. 😹 Otras veces te da un cabezazo suave o se sienta pegadita a ti, apoya su cuerpo y te mira hacia arriba con esos ojos que básicamente dicen: “sí, humano, puedes derretirte” para luego encender el motor: un ronroneo tan fuerte que podría alimentar una moto. Las caricias en su barbilla y barriguita son su spa personal 💆‍♀️. Puedes cogerla en brazos y notar su ronroneo. Es una maestra repostera: le encanta hacer galletitas, especialmente al lado de su hermana Maria. A veces María se une, pero más en plan supervisora del MasterChef Gatuno 👩‍🍳🐱. Y cuando acaba de amasar… toca acicalado diplomático: a Mariona le encanta limpiar a su heermana Maria con mucho cariño… antes de iniciar una pelea de juego que tanto adoran. Eso sí, casi siempre es ella quien empieza la fiesta felina 🎉.Mariona, Maria y Arnau provienen de una colonia descontrolada de un hospital de Lérida. Mariona fue la primera que se dejó ver, maullando y buscando restos de comida. Después de un par de días aparecieron sus hermanos. No podían quedarse allí…así que actuamos 💪💖. Si adoptas en pareja te recomendamos: a su hermana Maria. ¿Puede vivir con niños? Sí, con la debida adaptación.¿Puede vivir con otros animales? Sí. Han convivido bien con un perro en una de sus casas de acogida haciendo las debidas presentaciones. Hogar ideal: Vivir con su hermana u otro(s) gato(s) compatible(s) con cualquier tipo de familia, ya sea un(a) solter@, una pareja o una familia más grande. ¡Un balcón o terraza es siempre una ventaja!

About Mariona

What life with Mariona looks like

Mariona is a very small young adult mixed breed cat waiting at Gatalunya Cat Rescue 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 Mariona, answered.

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