Preya

Female · Adult · 6 years

Preya, this beautiful carey cat was abandoned at the door of the Callosa de Segura animal shelter when she was two years old. We don't know how her life was before, but something tells us a lot about her: although she is a very shy cat, she seeks affection and wants to be loved. At first she needs to observe, keep a little distance, and feel safe. But behind that caution is a sweet cat who knows cuddles, companionship, and contact with people. ❤️ Everything suggests that at some point she knew what it was like to live in a home. She also loves finding high places from which to watch everything, and she enjoys the company of the cats she shares a room with. 🐾 Being close to them seems to give her security and calm. And it's impossible not to notice her beautiful green eyes, which stand out remarkably against the dark and orange tones of her coat. 💚 Now Preya needs time, patience, and a family in no hurry. 🏡 Someone who will let her regain her trust at her own pace and show her that this time she really can find a forever home.

Preya, esta preciosa gatita carey, fue abandonada en la puerta de la protectora de Callosa de Segura cuando tenía dos años. No sabemos cómo fue su vida anterior, pero hay algo que nos dice mucho de ella: aunque es una gata muy tímida, busca el cariño y quiere dejarse querer. Al principio necesita observar, mantener un poco las distancias y sentirse segura. Pero detrás de esa cautela hay una gata dulce que conoce los mimos, la compañía y el contacto con las personas. ❤️ Todo hace pensar que alguna vez supo lo que era vivir en un hogar. También le encanta buscar lugares altos desde los que observarlo todo y también disfruta de la compañía de los gatos con los que comparte habitación. 🐾 Estar cerca de ellos parece darle seguridad y tranquilidad. Y es imposible no fijarse en sus preciosos ojos verdes, que destacan muchísimo entre los tonos oscuros y anaranjados de su pelaje. 💚 Ahora Preya necesita tiempo, paciencia y una familia que no tenga prisa. 🏡 Alguien que le permita recuperar la confianza a su ritmo y le demuestre que esta vez sí puede encontrar un hogar para siempre.

About Preya

What life with Preya looks like

Preya is a medium-sized adult 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 often include sterilization, vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport in the adoption fee, but this varies, so confirm with the shelter. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Preya, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Preya?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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 Preya on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Preya if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask APADAC — Protectora de Animales whether they will for Preya, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Preya already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: APADAC — Protectora de Animales lists Preya as vaccinated and spayed. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by APADAC — Protectora de Animales, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Preya isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask APADAC — Protectora de Animales about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Preya 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.
