Matatabi

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 10 years

She’s a very friendly cat and has a great temperament around her feline companions. She’s learned that with her distinctive meow (it’s really fun to hear!), she asks for whatever she wants—whether it’s her portion of wet food, playtime, or some petting; you just can’t resist spending time with her.

ES·Show original

Es una gata muy amigable y muestra buen carácter con los otr@s compañer@s felinos. Ha aprendido que con su característico maullido (es muy divertido oirlo) nos pide lo que quiere, desde su ración de comida húmeda, juego, o hacerle caricias; no te puedes resistir a estar con ella.

About Matatabi

What life with Matatabi looks like

Matatabi is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at A.D.A. Noguera 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 Matatabi, answered.

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