Shane

Domestic Shorthair · Male · Adult · 6 years

Shane is a beautiful black-and-white cat who was rescued in late May 2025 in the San Pedro Alcántara Industrial Estate area; he is approximately 5 years old. Shane has a very distinct and unique personality. He’s the one who decides when he wants some cuddles and comes over to seek them out, but he also knows how to set boundaries and, when he feels he’s had enough, he’ll let you know with a little nip. He currently lives freely in the cattery and has made it clear that he does not enjoy the company of other cats or sharing his space with many companions; he is independent. For this reason, we believe he would be much happier in a home where he could be the only cat, or in a very quiet environment with another independent cat. We’re looking for a family with experience of cats to take Shane in – one that knows how to interpret his body language, respects his pace and understands his way of interacting. We do not recommend him for families with young children. For the right person, Shane will be an exceptional companion: a cat with a lot of personality, independent, yet affectionate when he chooses to share those moments. 💛 Adopt Shane and give him the second chance he so richly deserves. 📩 Adoption enquiries: 📸 Follow us on Instagram:

About Shane

What life with Shane looks like

Shane is a small adult domestic shorthair cat waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

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.

Note from the shelter: Prefers to be only cat, needs boundaries respected, can nip when overstimulated

🇪🇸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 Shane, answered.

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