Maxi

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten · 2 months

Hello, I'm Maxi, a 5-week-old kitten who is starting to discover the world with big eyes and a lot of curiosity. I'm currently in foster care, where I'm being cared for, given warmth, and taught that life can be beautiful... but I dream of something more: a forever home where I can grow and feel safe forever. I'm small, sweet, and very affectionate. I love snuggling up, exploring new corners, and feeling soft hands that treat me with affection. I learn quickly, adapt well, and have that tender character that makes anyone fall in love with me in a second. I just need a family that wants to accompany me in my growth, take care of me, and love me for who I am: a baby who is ready to start her story. I'm Maxi... and I'm waiting for my family.

Hola, soy Maxi, una gatita de 5 semanas que está empezando a descubrir el mundo con ojos enormes y mucha curiosidad. Ahora estoy en acogida, donde me cuidan, me dan calorcito y me enseñan que la vida puede ser bonita… pero yo sueño con algo más: un hogar definitivo donde crecer y sentirme segura para siempre. Soy pequeñita, dulce y muy mimosa. Me encanta acurrucarme, explorar rincones nuevos y sentir manos suaves que me tratan con cariño. Aprendo rápido, me adapto bien y tengo ese carácter tierno que hace que cualquiera se enamore de mí en un segundo. Solo necesito una familia que quiera acompañarme en mi crecimiento, que me cuide y que me quiera tal y como soy: una bebé que está lista para empezar su historia. Soy Maxi… y estoy esperando a mi familia. Para más información sobre adopciones: DESCUBRE CÓMO ECHARNOS UNA PATA

About Maxi

What life with Maxi looks like

Maxi is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Animales Rioja in Spain.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇪🇸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 Maxi, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Maxi?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Animales Rioja handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Maxi on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Maxi if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Animales 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Maxi 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 Maxi 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 Animales Rioja early rather than rehoming privately; they know Maxi 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
