Rosalía

Mixed Breed · Female

She’s a very timid cat who, when people are nearby, prefers to flee and find a place to hide. As of today, she won’t let anyone pick her up or touch her, since she still doesn’t feel safe around human contact. Rosalía needs a calm home and a family that understands it will take time, patience, and respect for her own pace to earn her trust. She’s not the kind of cat who’ll seek affection from day one, but she deserves the chance to live in an environment where she can feel safe and progress at her own pace, without any pressure. If you believe you can provide her with that space and give her the time she needs, Rosalía would be thrilled to finally have a home where she can start a new chapter in her life.

ES·Show original

Es una gata muy asustadiza que, cuando hay personas cerca, prefiere huir y buscar un lugar donde esconderse. A día de hoy no se deja coger ni tocar, ya que todavía no se siente segura con el contacto humano. Rosalía necesita un hogar tranquilo y una familia que comprenda que ganarse su confianza llevará tiempo, paciencia y respeto por su ritmo. No es una gata que vaya a buscar mimos desde el primer día, pero merece la oportunidad de vivir en un entorno donde pueda sentirse segura y avanzar sin presiones. Si crees que puedes ofrecerle ese espacio y darle el tiempo que necesita, Rosalía estará encantada de tener por fin un hogar donde empezar una nueva etapa.

About Rosalía

What life with Rosalía looks like

Rosalía is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Protectora Villena 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 (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Rosalía, answered.

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