RUGBY

European Shorthair · Male

Rugby isn't the type of cat that jumps into your arms at first sight, but once he feels safe, he's all cuddles! With a bit of patience (and lots of treats), Rugby becomes an incredible companion. His temperament makes him perfect for those seeking a calmer cat without sacrificing the special bond that forms when an animal trusts you. This little tiger deserves the chance to find a place where he's offered not just a roof, but a family willing to love him. Do you think you can give him the home he so desperately needs?

Rugby no es el tipo de gato que salta a tus brazos en cuanto te ve pero, una vez que se siente seguro, ¡es pura ternura! Con un poco de paciencia (y muchas chuches), Rugby se convierte en un compañero increíble. Su carácter lo hace perfecto para aquellos que buscan un gato más tranquilo, sin renunciar a la conexión especial que se crea cuando un animal confía en ti. Este pequeño tigre merece la oportunidad de encontrar un lugar donde se le ofrezca no solo un techo, sino también una familia dispuesta a quererlo. ¿Crees que puedes darle el hogar que tanto necesita?

About RUGBY

What life with RUGBY looks like

RUGBY is a medium-sized adult european shorthair cat waiting at CIMPA Alcalá de Henares 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 RUGBY, answered.

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