Shakira

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten

Shakira came in with her brothers and mom. Mom wasn't happy with her now larger kittens, so we decided to separate the kittens from her. The kittens were very scared at first and showed it by hissing a lot. That's why an employee took them in foster to socialize them. Shakira is a beautiful, elegant lady who first watches the cat from the tree. She is curious, but takes her time to discover new things. Once she is comfortable, her enormous playfulness comes out. She loves balls and can play wonderfully with her fellow kittens. Her favorite mischief? Trying to catch the tails of the other kittens! ???? With other cats she is very social. Shakira loves pats, treats and of course delicious food, but is not a real lap cat. She finds dogs a bit scary at the moment, but is being slowly trained. A sweet, playful lady with her own character and a lovely mischievous side. ❤️

Shakira kwam samen met zijn broertjes, en mama bij ons binnen. Mama was niet zo blij met haar inmiddels wat grotere kittens, waardoor we besloten de kittens van haar te scheiden. De kittens waren in het begin erg bang en lieten dat merken door flink te blazen. Daarom heeft een medewerker ze in foster genomen om ze te socialiseren. Shakira is een prachtige, elegante dame die eerst rustig de kat uit de boom kijkt. Ze is nieuwsgierig, maar neemt graag even de tijd om nieuwe dingen te ontdekken. Als ze eenmaal op haar gemak is, komt haar enorme speelsheid naar boven. Ze is gek op balletjes en kan heerlijk ravotten met haar mede-kittens. Haar favoriete ondeugd? De staarten van de andere kittens proberen te vangen! ???? Met andere katten is ze dan ook heel sociaal. Shakira houdt van aaitjes, snoepjes en natuurlijk lekker eten, maar is geen echte schootkat. Honden vindt ze op dit moment nog wat spannend, maar daar wordt rustig mee geoefend. Een lieve, speelse dame met een eigen karakter en een heerlijk ondeugend kantje. ❤️

About Shakira

What life with Shakira looks like

Shakira is a kitten european shorthair cat waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Shakira, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Shakira?: 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 Shakira on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Shakira 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Shakira 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 Shakira 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 Shakira 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.
