How do I contact the shelter about Plazuelo?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ALBA Protectora Madrid handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Plazuelo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Plazuelo if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ALBA Protectora 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 Plazuelo 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 Plazuelo 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 ALBA Protectora Madrid early rather than rehoming privately; they know Plazuelo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Plazuelo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 2 years

They are in foster care with Chupetín and Plazuelo, and they have a lot in common: they are two good, beautiful, affectionate, sociable kittens who love human company. Sadly, they also share the fact that they are both infected with Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV). At the moment, their health is good and they are two more kittens. Now they have each other at the our shelter, because one of the particularities of kittens with Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) is that they cannot coexist with kittens that do not have it to avoid the risk of contagion. Despite their mutual companionship, at ALBA they are condemned to be apart from everything. Obviously, we spend as much time with them as possible, but while other cats live in the catteries, they are alone in a puppy pen of 1 m² where they cannot run or hide. In short, they cannot be cats. In a home, they could enjoy the company and affection of the humans who would live with them, thus having a normal life. All animals deserve a dignified home regardless of their circumstances, as they did not choose them. Would you choose them?------ Found in a square of a nearby town, where we take care of the collection. He is a charming little kitten who purrs to get your attention, a wonderful and playful cat. He had the bad luck of contracting Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV), probably transmitted by his mother. He is already vaccinated and neutered.

Están en casa de acogida Chupetín y Plazuelo tienen muchas cosas en común: son dos gatitos buenos, bonitos, cariñosos, sociables y a los que les encanta la compañía de las personas. Tristemente, también comparten el estar enfermos de leucemia felina. Ahora mismo, su estado de salud es bueno y son dos gatitos más. Ahora se tienen el uno al otro en el albergue porque una de las particularidades de los gatitos con leucemia es que no pueden convivir con gatitos que no la tengan para evitar el riesgo de contagio. Pese a su mutua compañía, en ALBA están condenados a estar apartados de todo. Evidentemente, nosotras pasamos con ellos todo el tiempo posible pero mientras los demás gatos viven en las gateras ellos están solos en una cachorrera de 1 m² en la que no pueden correr o esconderse. En resumidas cuentas, no pueden ser gatos. En un hogar podrían disfrutar de la compañía y el afecto de los humanos que con ellos conviviesen teniendo así una vida normal. Todos los animales merecen un hogar digno independientemente de sus circunstancias pues ellos no las han elegido. ¿Les eliges tú a ellos? -------------------------------------- Recogido en una plaza de un pueblo cercano, en el que nos ocupamos de la recogida. Es un gatito encantador, ronronea para reclamar tu atención, es un gato estupendo muy bueno y juguetón. Ha tenido la mala suerte de contagiarse de leucemia, probablemente transmitida por su madre. Ya está vacunado y castrado. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos
