Adopt Mei

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 8 years

This adorable kitten, so good and affectionate, was abandoned in an incorporated neighborhood of Segovia. She was rescued during trap-and-neuter operations for a feral cat colony in the area, and her huge hunger made her quickly enter the trap. From her meows and personality, it was clear that she was not a stray cat. In addition to being so extremely thin, suggesting she hadn't eaten in a long time, and contrary to what heartless people who abandon their cats in feral cat colonies believe, they don't know how to survive on the streets. Now she is safe at the animal shelter, undergoing quarantine in a cage and gaining strength to regain her weight and find the family she deserves. If you give her a chance, you'll fall in love!

Esta preciosa gatita, tan buena y cariñosa, estaba abandonada en un barrio incorporado de Segovia. Fue rescatada al realizar capturas para aplicar el protocolo CES en una colonia de la zona y el hambre tan grande que tenía, la hizo entrar rápido en la jaula trampa. Por sus maullidos y su carácter, era evidente que no era una gata callejera. Además de estar tan súmamente delgada, que se podía suponer que no había comido en mucho tiempo, y es que a diferencia de lo que piensan los desalmados que abandonan a sus gatos en colonias, ellos no saben sobrevivir en la calle. Ahora está a salvo en el albergue, pasando la cuarentena en una jaula y cogiendo fuerzas para recuperar su peso y encontrar a la familia que merece. ¡Si le das una oportunidad, te enamorarás!

About Mei

What life with Mei looks like

Mei is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Protectora de Animales de Segovia in Segovia.

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 Mei, answered.

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