Adopt Tripod

Mixed Breed · Unknown

Named after his resemblance to a tripod, Tripod doesn't slow down this little rocket with his three legs. We rescued him after he was involved in a hit and run. Someone hit him with their car and left him to die, but fortunately, the next car took pity on him and brought him to us. We immediately took him to the vets for life-saving surgery. The vets managed to save his life, even trying to save his leg. But sadly, that was not possible. So, with the loss of the leg, came the popular demand for the name Tripod, which suits him amazingly. He is a real strong mini cat. He loves life, loves food, and has the loudest meow you've ever heard. If you choose to sponsor him monthly, we will give you updates on his medical care and his amazing zest for life.

About Tripod

What life with Tripod looks like

Tripod is a small adult mixed breed cat waiting at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

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.

🇪🇸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 Tripod, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tripod?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tenerife Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tripod on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tripod if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tenerife Animal Sanctuary 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 Tripod 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 Tripod 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 Tenerife Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tripod 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.
