Picassa

European Shorthair · Unknown

I am a beautiful 2-year-old tricolor cat. They say my coat looks hand-painted, with a unique combination of colors that makes me a truly exclusive companion. A true feline work of art! Unfortunately, my past was not very well cared for, and that's why I am somewhat distrustful at first. Life experiences have taught me to be cautious, so I need a little time, patience, and space to understand that there is nothing to fear. I am not a cat who gives up on the first day, but when I understand that I am safe, my shyness turns into gratitude. I am looking for a very good, calm, and patient family who is willing to win my trust day by day. I know that with the right love and a home where I am respected, I will shine again. Will you help me paint a happy future together?

Tengo 2 añitos y soy una gata tricolor preciosa. Dicen que mi pelaje parece pintado a mano, con una combinación única de colores que me hace una compañera verdaderamente exclusiva. ¡Una auténtica obra de arte felina! Lamentablemente, en mi pasado no me cuidaron muy bien, y por eso al principio soy algo desconfiada. Las experiencias de la vida me han enseñado a ser prudente, así que necesito un poquito de tiempo, paciencia y espacio para entender que ya no hay nada que temer. No soy una gata que se entregue el primer día, pero cuando entiendo que estoy a salvo, mi timidez se transforma en agradecimiento. Busco una familia muy buena, tranquila y paciente que esté dispuesta a ganarse mi confianza día a día. Sé que con el amor correcto y un hogar donde me respeten, volveré a brillar. ¿Me ayudas a pintar un futuro feliz juntos?

About Picassa

What life with Picassa looks like

Picassa is a adult european shorthair cat waiting at Centro de Proteccion Animal de Madrid in Madrid.

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 Picassa, answered.

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