Ozzy

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 7 years

Ozzy, a four-month-old cat, arrived at the shelter after being abandoned. 🤍 She was just a baby and since then, the Callosa de Segura shelter has been practically the only home she has known. She has never had a real house, a real family, a sofa to sleep on or a quiet routine away from our facilities. For Ozzy, that world is still to be discovered. 🏡 She is positive for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and has a shy and cautious nature. At first, she observes, keeps her distance and needs time to feel safe. But when she starts to trust, she has a very special way of letting you know: she gives you two meows and that's the signal. You can then approach and give her cuddles. 😻 🪮 She loves to be groomed and thoroughly enjoys those moments of calm and attention. 👧🧒 She also gets along particularly well with children, with whom she is calm and comfortable. Ozzy doesn't need to find a new home because she hasn't had the opportunity to know one yet. She deserves to discover for the first time what it means to be part of a family and have a place that she can truly call her own. ❤️ Will you adopt this beautiful little cat?

Con solo cuatro meses, Ozzy llegó a la protectora tras haber sido abandonada. 🤍 Era apenas una bebé y, desde entonces, la protectora de Callosa de Segura ha sido prácticamente lo único que ha conocido como hogar. Nunca ha tenido una casa de verdad, una familia propia, un sofá en el que dormir o una rutina tranquila lejos de nuestras instalaciones. Para Ozzy, ese mundo todavía está por descubrir. 🏡 Es positiva a inmunodeficiencia felina (FIV) y tiene un carácter tímido y cauteloso. Al principio observa, mantiene las distancias y necesita tiempo para sentirse segura. Pero cuando empieza a confiar, tiene una forma muy especial de hacértelo saber: te lanza dos maullidos y esa es la señal. Ya puedes acercarte y darle mimos. 😻 🪮 Le encanta que la peinen y disfruta muchísimo de esos momentos de calma y atención. 👧🧒 Además, se lleva especialmente bien con los niños, con quienes se muestra tranquila y cómoda. Ozzy no necesita volver a encontrar un hogar, porque todavía no ha tenido la oportunidad de conocer uno. Merece descubrir por primera vez lo que significa formar parte de una familia y tener un lugar que pueda sentir realmente suyo. ❤️¿Te animas a adoptar a esta preciosa gatita?

About Ozzy

What life with Ozzy looks like

Ozzy is a medium-sized adult european shorthair cat waiting at APADAC — Protectora de Animales 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 Ozzy, answered.

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