Stumpy

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Stumpy is a little kitten who arrived at Triple A on October 21 in a shocking condition. His tail was raw and open, likely as a result of a burn, and the severity of the injury made it necessary to amputate his tail to ensure his well-being and prevent further pain and infection. Despite everything he has been through, Stumpy has carried on with tremendous strength. The loss of his tail doesn’t prevent him from leading a completely normal life and doesn’t dampen his desire to play, explore, and enjoy life. He is a playful, active kitten who gets along well with other cats. He interacts well with them and enjoys their company, but he doesn’t need to live with another cat to be happy. Stumpy can easily find his place as the family’s only cat, as long as he receives the love, attention, and stimulation he needs. He may seem shy around people at first and needs a little time to feel safe. Once he gains confidence, he lets you pet him and begins to show the sweet side he has inside. Stumpy needs a patient family that respects his pace and allows him to discover, little by little, that people can also offer him love, security, and protection. After everything he’s been through, Stumpy deserves to leave his past behind and discover what it means to have a real home, where he can feel loved and safe forever. 💛 📩 📸

About Stumpy

What life with Stumpy looks like

Stumpy is a small young adult mixed breed 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: 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.
