Nieves

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten

Description Nieves is a kitten who hasn't had much luck in life so far, but that's starting to change. In her previous life, she lived with her sister and a person with mental health issues, so without meaning to, she didn't care for or attend to the little ones as she should have. We don't want to go into details, but both of them suffered, and unfortunately, one of them couldn't overcome it. Nieves needs a quiet home, very quiet, with no other animals, and where her new family spends a lot of time at home because she loves human company so much that, according to her current foster care human, she follows you happily around the whole house, makes herself a ball in your lap when you sit on the sofa, and snuggles up in bed with you to sleep at night. Additionally, she's a playful and curious kitten who loves to peek and squeeze into any open hole, drawer, or door she finds, whether it's in the wardrobe, kitchen, or living room, hehe. So, if you're a calm person, without other animals, who spends a lot of time at home, patient with the adaptation, and with a lot, a lot, a lot of love to offer Nieves, don't hesitate to write us so her life can continue to improve and she can forget all the previous suffering.

Descripción Nieves es una gatita que no ha tenido mucha suerte en su vida hasta ahora, porque poco a poco eso está empezando a cambiar. En su vida anterior convivía junto a su hermana y con una persona con problemas de salud mental, por lo que sin querer, no atendía ni cuidaba a las pequeñas como correspondía. No queremos entrar en detalles, solo queremos que sepáis que ambas sufrieron y una de ellas, lamentablemente no lo pudo superar. Nieves necesita una casa tranquila, muy tranquila, donde no haya más animales, y que su nueva familia pase bastante tiempo en casa porque es una gatita a la que gusta mucho la compañía humana, tanto que, según nos cuenta su humana de acogida actual, te sigue alegre por toda la casa,se hace una bolita en tu regazo cuando te sientas en el sofá y se acurruca en la cama junto a ti para dormir por las noches. Además, es una gata pizpereta y juguetona, a la que le encanta cotillear y colarse en cualquier agujero/cajón/puerta que encuentre abierta, ya sea del armario de la ropa, de la cocina o del salón, jeje. De tal modo, si eres una persona tranquila, sin más animales,que pasa tiempo en casa, con paciencia para la adaptación y con mucho, mucho, mucho amor para ofrecerle a Nieves, no dudes en escribirnos para que su vida siga mejorando y se olvide de todo el sufrimiento anterior.

About Nieves

What life with Nieves looks like

Nieves is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Keywords in Spain.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇪🇸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 Nieves, answered.

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