Stumpy

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 4 months

Stumpy is a small kitten who arrived at the Triple A shelter on October 21 in a shocking condition: he had an open wound on his tail, likely caused by a burn. Due to the severity of the injury, it was necessary to amputate his tail to ensure the animal’s well-being and prevent further pain and infection. Despite everything he has been through, Stumpy has proven to be a true fighter. The loss of his tail does not prevent him from living a completely normal life. He is a playful, active, and sociable kitten who gets along well with other cats, with whom he has a great rapport and feels safe. At first, he is shy around people; he needs time to get used to his surroundings and feel secure, but once he gains trust, he lets himself be petted and shows his gentle side. He needs a patient family that respects his pace and allows him to discover that people can also be a source of love and protection. Stumpy deserves to leave his past behind and discover what a real home means—a place where he can feel loved and safe forever. 💛 Do you want to be the one to change his life? 📩 Contact for adoption inquiries: 📸 Instagram:

About Stumpy

What life with Stumpy looks like

Stumpy is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

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.

Note from the shelter: Amputated tail due to trauma injury

🇪🇸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 Stumpy, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Stumpy?
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 Stumpy on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Stumpy 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 Stumpy 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 Stumpy 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 Stumpy 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.
