How do I contact the shelter about Rumba & Sparkle?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Helfende Hände e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rumba & Sparkle on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Rumba & Sparkle if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Helfende Hände e.V. 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 Rumba & Sparkle 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 Rumba & Sparkle 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 Helfende Hände e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rumba & Sparkle 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 (DE). 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.

Rumba & Sparkle

European Shorthair · Female · Adult · 5 years

Rumba & Sparkle ID No.: 139353 Breed: EKH Age: 04/2021 and 09/2019 Sex: male/female Housing: Indoor/outdoor cat Neutered/Spayed: Yes Location: Marbella Inquiry form This is the lovely female cat Rumba. She was found in May 2021 and brought to our animal shelter Triple A in Marbella. In summer 2022, she got lucky and moved to a foster home in Marbella. There, she met her dream tomcat: the black Panther Sparkle. He, too, is a stray, and to this day, no one has ever asked about him. Now the two of them are looking for their forever home together. Rumba (born 4/21) is a charming female cat with beautiful coloring. She is incredibly cuddly and loves being thoroughly snuggled. Unfortunately, her digestion is a bit sluggish, so she needs special food. With that diet, however, she’s doing well and has no issues. Sparkle (born 9/19) is also a true cuddle cat who enjoys all the attention he gets and absolutely loves long, thorough petting sessions. The two are deeply attached to each other, which is why we only want to rehome them together. Since both are very social, they could also join a household with existing cats. We’d be happy to test on-site whether they get along with dogs. Both cats are vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and have tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Vaccinations: Yes Plus €85.00 transport fee per cat Contact person: Andrea Mürner Tel: Email:.

Rumba & Sparkle ID-Nr: 139353 Rasse: EKH Alter: 04/2021 und 09/2019 Geschlecht: männlich/weiblich Haltung: Wohnung/Freigänger Kastriert/Sterilisiert: Ja Aufenthalt / Ort: Marbella Anfrageformular Das ist die hübsche Katzendame Rumba. Sie wurde im Mai 2021 gefunden und in unser Tierheim Triple A in Marbella gebracht. Im Sommer 2022 hatte sie Glück und durfte auf eine Pflegestelle in Marbella ziehen. Dort hat sie ihren Traumkater kennengelernt: Den schwarzen Panther Sparkle. Auch er ist ein Fundkater und bis heute hat nie jemand nach ihm gefragt. Nun suchen die beiden zusammen ihr Zuhause für immer. Rumba (geb. 4/21) ist eine zauberhafte Katzendame mit einer tollen Färbung. Sie ist unheimlich kuschelig und wird gerne so richtig duschgeknuddelt. Leider ist ihre Verdauung ein wenig träge, weswegen sie Spezialfutter fressen muss. Damit geht es ihr aber gut und sie hat keine Probleme. Sparkle (geb. 9/19) ist ebenfalls ein echter Kuschelkater, der jede Aufmerksamkeit toll findet und es liebt so richtig ausgiebig gestreichelt zu werden. Die beiden hängen sehr aneinander, so dass wir sie nur zusammen vermitteln wollen. Da beide sehr sozial sind, können sie auch gerne zu bereits vorhandenen Katzen ziehen. Ob sie mit Hunden verträglich sind, können wir gerne vor Ort testen. Die beiden sind geimpft, gechipt, kastriert und negativ auf FIV und FELV getestet. Impfungen Ja Schutzgebühr 200,00€ zzgl. 85,00€ Transportgebühr je Katze Ansprechpartner Andrea Mürner Tel: Email: Anfrageformular
