Monty

Male

This cutie is Monty, who appeared on the fifth-floor rooftop. We still don't know how she got there, though everything points to abandonment. Monty spent nearly a month up there with no access to water or food until she was finally rescued. Now she's in foster care, and the poor thing is emaciated and still quite terrified by everything she's endured, but we have no doubt she'll recover quickly and become a fantastic feline companion.

Esta preciosidad es Monty, apareció en la azotea de un quinto piso, nosotros no sabemos aún cómo apareció aunque todo apunta a que fue un abandono. Monty estuvo durante casi un mes en esa azotea sin acceso alguno a agua ni comida hasta que por fin lo rescataron. Ahora está en una casa de acogida y el pobre está en los huesos y aún bastante aterrado por todo lo que ha sufrido pero no dudamos en que se recuperará pronto y será un estupendo compañero felino.

About Monty

What life with Monty looks like

Monty is a adult cat waiting at Defensa Felina 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 Monty, answered.

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