Maya

Mixed Breed · Female

The Maya is one of those little cats that steals your heart without warning. 💕 She arrived at the animal shelter when she was very small, all runny-nosed from a cold: mucus, delicate eyes and many visits to the vet. She has been a champion. She went through a long treatment with eye drops and even went to a foster home so they could take care of her properly. They diagnosed her with a third eyelid that's a bit fused, which causes a slight obstruction, and that's why her eyes are always a bit teary... but she sees perfectly, lives a completely normal life and isn't contagious. It's just part of her special charm. And what charm! The Maya is pure energy and love. She's super active, playful to the point of being enough, and very, very affectionate. You can pick her up in your arms and she'll let you pamper her happily. She loves kisses, pets and running after a toy as if there were no tomorrow. We're looking for a home where there's already another very active kitten like her, because she needs feline company to play, share mischief and pile up on affection.

La Maya és una d’aquelles gatetes que et roben el cor sense avisar. 💕 Va arribar al refugi quan era ben petita, feta un nyap pel refredat: mocs, ullets delicats i moltes visites al veterinari. Ha estat una campiona. Ha passat per un tractament llarg amb col·liris i fins i tot va anar a una casa d’acollida perquè la poguessin cuidar com calia. Li van diagnosticar una tercera parpella una mica fusionada que li provoca una petita obstrucció, i per això sempre té els ullets una mica plorosos… però hi veu perfectament, fa vida completament normal i no és contagiós. És només part del seu encant especial. I quin encant! La Maya és pura energia i amor. És súper activa, juganera fins a dir prou i molt, molt carinyosa. La pots agafar en braços i es deixa mimar encantada. Li encanten els petons, les carícies i córrer darrere una joguina com si no hi hagués un demà. Busquem per a ella una llar on ja hi hagi un altre gatet molt actiu com ella, perquè necessita companyia felina per jugar, compartir trapelleries i fer muntanyes de mimos.

About Maya

What life with Maya looks like

Maya is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Barcelona Gat i Gos 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 Maya, answered.

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