Tapioca

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 4 months

We received a report of a cat with kittens in a dangerous location near a road. We set up a trap and caught the mother, spayed her and released her back into the wild. Of the kittens, only Tapioca survived. One was hit by a car and another drowned in a ditch before we could reach them. She has had her first vaccination. FELV-FIV-FILARIA test negative. Kittens should live in pairs for better socialization.

Se recibió aviso de una gata con crías en un lugar peligroso, cerca de una carretera. Pusimos jaula trampa y cogimos a la madre, se castró y vuelto a soltar ya que es salvaje. De los bebés solamente encontramos viva a Tapioca, uno murió atropellado y otra se rescató de una acequia, pero murió poco después, había tragado agua y barro... Tapioca es una gatita algo tímida de inicio, cuando te acercas aún pone algún límite, pero enseguida se pone panza arriba y ronronea. Estamos seguros de que con los mimos de las voluntarias se convertirá en una pequeña encantadora. Ya está vacunada. Test FELV-FIV-FILARIA negativo. Los cachorros de gato deben vivir en parejas para su mejor socialización Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos

About Tapioca

What life with Tapioca looks like

Tapioca is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

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.

🇪🇸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 Tapioca, answered.

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