Sarahita

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 3 years

Sarahita has already made good progress, she is very sweet to the people she sees daily because for them she is a true treasure. She prefers to keep an eye on strangers. She still maintains her beautiful but also strong character, which is why we do not place her in a family with children because you have to be able to read her during her more difficult moments. ORIGINAL TEXT: Sarahita was with her 2 kittens a few days old in the killing station in a cold cage without any form of rest, love and comfort, which a newly born mother needs so much. She was completely upset and fought with everything she had to protect her kittens, not knowing that she was going to move to a better place. She lost her 2 daughters not for a second, she now starts to trust her regular caregivers, but trust in humans in general is still far to seek. Our mother has a backpack full that will have to be unloaded slowly, by a family that can give her the time and space for this.

UPDATE 23-02-2026 Sarahita heeft al een goede vooruitgang geboekt, ze is heel lief tegenover de mensen die ze dagelijks ziet want voor hun is ze een ware schat. Ten opzichte van onbekenden kijkt ze liever de kat uit de boom. Ze blijft echter haar mooie maar ook sterk karakter behouden waardoor we haar niet plaatsen in een gezin met kinderen want je moet haar wel kunnen lezen tijdens haar moeilijkere momenten. ORIGINELE TEKST: Sarahita zat met haar 2 kittens van enkele dagen oud in het dodingstation in een kille kooi zonder enige vorm van rust, liefde en comfort, wat een pas bevallen moedertje nochtans zo nodig heeft. Ze was compleet van streek en vocht met alles wat ze in haar had om haar kittens te beschermen, niet wetende dat ze naar een beter plek ging verhuizen. Haar 2 dochters verloor ze geen seconde uit het oog, haar vaste verzorgers begint ze nu te vertrouwen, maar vertrouwen in de mens in het algemeen is nog ver te zoeken. Ons moedertje heeft een rugzakje vol dat traag zal uitgeladen moeten worden, door een familie die haar de tijd en ruimte hiervoor kan geven.

About Sarahita

What life with Sarahita looks like

Sarahita is a young 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 (typically €250–€400 for a dog, €100–€180 for a cat). Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sarahita, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sarahita?
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 Sarahita on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sarahita 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sarahita 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 Sarahita 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 Sarahita 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
