How do I contact the shelter about Tijereto?

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 Tijereto on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tijereto 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 Tijereto 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 Tijereto 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 Tijereto and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Tijereto

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Tijereto is a lovely 8-year-old Persian cat with an incredible ability to keep trusting people. He was found sheltering in the doorway of a building, and it was the police who alerted us to pick him up. Although he didn’t have a microchip, shortly afterward a family came forward claiming he was theirs... but the very next day, they decided they no longer wanted him. When he arrived, his white fur had been roughly trimmed with scissors, he had a wound on his chin, and he showed little interest in eating. Fortunately, Tijereto has been steadily improving and gaining more confidence. He’s a very calm, patient, and affectionate cat—perfect for a home where he can enjoy the peace and love he’s always deserved. As a true Persian cat, he needs a family committed to providing the specific care his breed requires, especially maintaining his coat and ensuring he receives any necessary veterinary checkups. Will you help spread the word so he can find the home he truly deserves? He’s already neutered and vaccinated. He tested negative for FELV, FIV, and heartworm. Show more of his story Show less

Tijereto es un precioso gato persa de 8 años, con una enorme capacidad para seguir confiando en las personas. Apareció refugiado en el portal de un edificio y fue la Policía quien nos avisó para recogerlo. Aunque no llevaba microchip, al poco tiempo apareció una familia asegurando que era suyo... pero al día siguiente decidieron que ya no lo querían. Llegó con su pelo blanco cortado a tijeretazos, una herida en la barbilla y sin apenas ganas de comer. Afortunadamente, Tijereto ha ido mejorando y cogiendo más confianza. Es un gato muy tranquilo, paciente y cariñoso, ideal para un hogar donde pueda disfrutar de la calma y del cariño que siempre ha merecido. Como buen gato persa, necesita una familia comprometida con los cuidados propios de su raza, especialmente el mantenimiento de su pelaje y las revisiones que pueda necesitar. ¿Le ayudas compartiendo para que encuentre el hogar que tanto merece? Ya está castrado y vacunado. Test FELV-FIV-FILARIA negativo. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos
