Tristras

European Shorthair · Male · Kitten

Description Tristrás appeared in good condition at a volunteer's bungalow in a truly terrible state, looking very sick. He was emaciated, weighing in at just over 3 kilos when he should have been a large cat, had a terrible diarrhea, and was in a general state of poor health. After testing, he tested positive for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and immunodeficiency, which is uncommon but unfortunately, that's the lottery he drew. After a full blood test and an abdominal ultrasound, he was diagnosed with inflammatory intestinal disease (which is why he has the diarrhea) that requires a very specific diet that we can't afford to skip. We can't afford to give this expensive special diet to the entire animal shelter, so Tristrás has been in quarantine for a long time while we look for a home that can take him in, a home where he can be a unique cat to be spoiled. We would take care of the special food he needs. If you're considering fostering, this is a great opportunity because we can assure you that he is the best cat.

Descripción Tristrás apareció en buen día en el bungalow de una voluntaria en un estado realmente terrible, se le veía realmente enfermo. Estaba famélico, pesaba poco más de 3 kilos cuando es un gatazo enorme, tenía una diarrea espantosa y un estado general deplorable. Al hacerle el test dio positivo a leucemia e inmunodeficiencia, es poco común, pero a el le toco la peor loterías. Tras una analítica completa y una ecografía abdominal se le ha diagnosticado enfermedad inflamatoria intestina (de ahí su diarrea) que le obliga a una dieta muy especifica que de momento no se puede saltar. No nos podemos permitir dar esta dieta tan cara a todo un recinto del albergue, así que Tristrás está ya mucho tiempo en cuarentenas mientras encontramos una casa que lo pueda acoger, un hogar donde sea gato único al que poder mimar, nosotros nos haríamos cargo del pienso especial que necesita, si estas pensando en ser casa de acogida esta es una gran oportunidad porque os aseguramos que es el mejor de los gatos.

About Tristras

What life with Tristras looks like

Tristras is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Keywords in Spain.

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 Tristras, answered.

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