Sebastiana

Female · Young · 2 years

A Sebastiana was born on the streets and, because she was small and fragile, she never managed to defend herself. The bigger cats in the colony would drive her away from the food left by the caretaker, leaving her constantly undernourished and weakened. In addition to hunger, she suffered from abuse by other cats and was always sick, with frequent respiratory problems. Faced with this situation, one of our volunteers could not ignore Sebastiana's suffering and decided to rescue her. Today, she is safe, but she needs a permanent home where she can receive the care and affection she has never had. 🐾💛 Hello! I am Sebastiana and I want to find a loving family to call my own! Could it be yours?

A Sebastiana nasceu nas ruas e, por ser pequena e frágil, nunca conseguiu defender-se. Os gatos maiores da colónia afastavam-na da comida deixada pela cuidadora, deixando-a constantemente subnutrida e debilitada. Além da fome, sofria maus-tratos dos outros gatos e vivia sempre doente, com problemas respiratórios frequentes. Perante este cenário, uma das nossas voluntárias não conseguiu ignorar o sofrimento da Sebastiana e decidiu resgatá-la. Hoje, já está segura, mas precisa de um lar definitivo onde receba os cuidados e o carinho que nunca teve. 🐾💛 Olá! Sou a Sebastiana e quero encontrar uma família amorosa para chamar de minha! Será que é a tua? 🥹❤️

About Sebastiana

What life with Sebastiana looks like

Sebastiana is a young adult cat waiting at Cantinho do Tareco in Portugal.

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 Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sebastiana, answered.

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