Qais

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

Quino, Quais, Quasim, Quinta, and Qirah were brought to us by people who found them. Five pairs of frightened eyes looked at you, they were very scared and also very small, in fact they were at an age where they still needed their mom. Fortunately, they were placed in a shelter where they were pampered with a lot of love and patience by their foster mom. They have grown into big playful birds, crazy about people, they love nothing more than lying on their foster mom's lap. They are all very social so they are best placed with other kittens because this quintet has tons of energy! Where can these treasures come home, where they will never have to leave again?

Qiano, Qais, Quasim, Quinta en Qirah werden bij ons gebracht door mensen die ze hadden gevonden. 5 paar bange oogjes keken je aan, ze waren heel bang en ook nog heel klein, eigenlijk hadden ze een leeftijd waar ze nog hun mama nodig hadden. Ze konden gelukkig in opvang waar ze met veel liefde en geduld worden verwend door hun opvangmama. Ze zijn uitgegroeid tot grote speelvogels, verzot op mensen, ze doen niets liever dan bij hun opvangmama op schoot te gaan liggen. Allen zijn heel sociaal dus worden ze het liefst geplaatst bij andere katjes want ze deze vijfling heeft tonnen energie! Waar kunnen deze schatten thuis komen, waar ze nooit meer weg hoeven te gaan?

About Qais

What life with Qais looks like

Qais is a very small adult european shorthair cat waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Qais, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Qais?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Qais on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Qais if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Qais 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 Qais 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 ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Qais 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 (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
