Ratatouille

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Despite his rough start, Ratatouille is thriving as he learns to experience the world in his own way. We rescued this tiny warrior after he was found in a heart-breaking state and taken straight to the vet. One of his eyes had been severely damaged before birth, so it had to be removed immediately. His remaining eye was also injured, and we weren't sure if he would ever see again. It just so happens that Dr. Scott Miller was visiting at the time and he kindly helped us assess and diagnose little Ratatouille. With his expert guidance, we ran every test we could -- FIV, FeLV, and all the usual suspects that can cause in-utero damage -- but thankfully, Ratatouille tested negative for them all. Now, with the small amount of vision in his remaining eye, he's learning to navigate the world through muscle memory, trust, and love. He's bonded beautifully with Akindi and our son Iggy, finding joy, safety, and play in his new home. Despite everything he's lost, Ratatouille is thriving -- curious, cuddly, and full of life! Sponsor Ratatouille to stay updated on his journey and help with his ongoing medical care as we continue to help him thrive in his new life.

About Ratatouille

What life with Ratatouille looks like

Ratatouille is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

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 Ratatouille, answered.

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