Tongue

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten · 5 months

Tongue is 3 months old and is looking for a home where he can grow up happy. Three boys took him to the police station after finding him among some bushes on the street. He arrived very frightened, and although he’s gradually becoming more confident each day, he’s still a shy little kitten. The shelter isn’t the ideal place for a baby like him; he needs as soon as possible a calm home filled with patience and affection. As a young kitten, he also needs feline companionship. We’re looking for a family that already has another cat—or one that’s willing to adopt him along with another kitten—so they can grow up together, play, and support each other. Will you be the one to show him what it means to have a forever home? FELV-FIV-FILARIA test results are negative. Young kittens should live in pairs for optimal socialization.

Tongue tiene 3 meses y está buscando un hogar donde crecer feliz. Tres chicos lo llevaron a la comisaría después de encontrarlo entre unos arbustos en la calle. Llegó muy asustado y, aunque cada día va ganando un poco más de confianza, sigue siendo un gatito tímido. El albergue no es el lugar ideal para un bebé como él; necesita cuanto antes un hogar tranquilo, lleno de paciencia, cariño. Como buen cachorro, también necesita compañía felina. Buscamos para él una familia que ya tenga otro gato, o que esté dispuesta a adoptarlo junto a otro gatito, para que puedan crecer, jugar y apoyarse mutuamente. ¿Serás tú quien le enseñe lo que significa tener un hogar para siempre? Ya está vacunado. 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 Tongue

What life with Tongue looks like

Tongue 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 Tongue, answered.

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