MR. POTATO

European Shorthair · Male

I arrived at CIMPA as a one-month-old kitten, separated from my mother, covered in ticks, congested, and very weak. I was lucky and received great care here, thanks to that care and because I'm a true survivor, I was able to recover and now I'm a stunning black and white cat. I love to play and I'm very good, although at first I'll need some time to get to know you, but who doesn't? I'm eager to find a home where I'll be loved like one of the family. Will you give me a hand? Pl. de Cervantes, 12. 28801, Alcalá de Henares Aviso Legal Accesibilidad Política de Privacidad y Protección de Datos Cookies

Llegué al CIMPA siendo un bebé de un mes, me separaron de mi madre, estaba lleno de garrapatas, tenía mocos y estaba muy débil. Tuve suerte y aquí me cuidaron mucho, gracias a esos cuidados y porque soy un auténtico superviviente, pude ponerme bien y ahora soy un gato blanco y negro espectacular. Me encanta jugar y soy muy bueno, aunque al principio necesitaré un poco de tiempo para cogerte confianza, pero si lo piensas, ¿quién no lo necesita? Estoy deseando encontrar un hogar donde me van a querer como uno más de la familia. ¿Me das la mano?

About MR. POTATO

What life with MR. POTATO looks like

MR. POTATO is a medium-sized adult european shorthair cat waiting at CIMPA Alcalá de Henares 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 MR. POTATO, answered.

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