Smurf

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

I was very sick, barely able to move, but no one cared. They left me in the middle of the field, to my fate, to be eaten by magpies or played with by dogs. No one cared about my suffering, I cried from fear, hunger, and cold. The person who fed the street kittens found me and asked for help, but all doors were closed and no one wants a sick black cat. But LARA, despite being in debt and overworked, made room for me. They are taking me to the vet to see if anyone knows what's wrong with me and if I can be cured. I am very good and affectionate, and I need a home where I am truly loved, there I will recover much faster and finally be a happy cat. I eat alone and use the litter box, but I walk a bit funny, and when the strong pains hit, I can't move, but I am a normal and good cat, I need a home very urgently.

Estaba muy malito, apenas podía moverme, pero a nadie importó. Me dejaron en mitad del campo, a mi suerte, para ser comida de urracas o juguete de perros. A nadie le importó mi sufrimiento, lloré de miedo, de hambre, de frío. La persona que daba de comer a los gatitos de la calle me encontró y pidió ayuda, todas las puertas estaban cerradas y nadie quiere a un negrito enfermo. Pero LARA, a pesar de estar endeudados y sobrecargados de trabajo me hicieron un sitio. Me están llevando al veterinario a ver si alguien sabe que me pasa y me curo. Soy muy bueno y cariñoso, y necesito un hogar donde me quieran de verdad, allí me recuperaré mucho antes y por fin seré un gatito feliz. Como solito y uso el arenero, pero camino un poco raro, y cuando me dan los dolores fuertes no me puedo mover, pero soy un gato normal y bueno, necesito un hogar de forma muy urgente

About Smurf

What life with Smurf looks like

Smurf is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Asociación Protectora de Animales LARA 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 often include sterilization, vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport in the adoption fee, but this varies, so confirm with the shelter. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Smurf, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Smurf?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Asociación Protectora de Animales LARA handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Smurf on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Smurf if I live in another country?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Asociación Protectora de Animales LARA whether they will for Smurf, what they require (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 Smurf already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Smurf. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Asociación Protectora de Animales LARA, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Smurf isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Asociación Protectora de Animales LARA about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Smurf 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.
