Adopt Simona

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 9 years

She is in foster care. Simona is a cat that we neutered recently in a CES program from a town in Madrid. She lived in a controlled feral cat colony, but she became very sick and we had to recapture her. She is delicate and is positive for something, so she must not go back outside because she won't survive long. Simona had a very severe ear infection, and after many weeks of treatment, it was necessary to perform ear ablation, including the ear canal.

Está en casa de acogida. Simona es una gata que castramos hace un tiempo en un programa CES de un pueblo de Madrid. Vivía en una colonia controlada, pero se puso muy enferma y la volvimos a capturar. Está delicada y es positiva por lo que no debe de volver a la calle, porque no va a sobrevivir mucho. Simona tenía un infección de oído muy severa, tras muchas semanas de tratamiento, no ha habido más remedio que hacer ablación de oído, incluido el pabellón auricular.

About Simona

What life with Simona looks like

Simona is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

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 Simona, answered.

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