Turrona

Mixed Breed · Female

A Turrona was born in 2012 and arrived at our shelter in 2013, after having her litter right in front of the animal rescue association. She was taken in with her babies, and as often happens, all the kittens quickly found families. Turrona remained... For a long time she was a reserved and cautious cat. She did not allow touching, did not want to be handled, and preferred to keep her distance. The years passed and she eventually grew up in the shelter. But time, patience, and affection can work miracles. Today, Turrona is practically the public relations officer of our cat shelter. She loves company, asks for cuddles, approaches people, and shows a sweet side that had been hidden for many years. She learned to trust and discovered that humans can be a safe presence in her life. After more than a decade in the shelter, Turrona finally deserves to know what it means to have a home of her own. 📅 Date of birth: 2012 Questions about cat adoptions:

A Turrona nasceu em 2012 e chegou ao nosso abrigo em 2013, depois de ter tido a sua ninhada mesmo em frente à associação. Foi recolhida com os seus bebés e, como tantas vezes acontece, todos os gatinhos encontraram família rapidamente. A Turrona ficou… Durante muito tempo foi uma gata reservada e desconfiada. Não permitia toque, não queria ser manuseada e preferia manter distância. Os anos foram passando e ela acabou por crescer dentro do abrigo. Mas o tempo, a paciência e o carinho também fazem milagres. Hoje a Turrona é praticamente a relações-públicas do nosso gatil. Adora companhia, pede mimos, aproxima-se das pessoas e mostra um lado doce que esteve escondido durante muitos anos. Aprendeu a confiar e descobriu que os humanos podem ser uma presença segura na sua vida. Depois de mais de uma década no abrigo, a Turrona merece finalmente conhecer o que é ter uma casa só sua. 📅 Data de nascimento: 2012 Dúvidas sobre adoções de gatos:

About Turrona

What life with Turrona looks like

Turrona is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Associacao Midas in Portugal.

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 Portugal

Portuguese rescues coordinate extensively with European rescue networks for cross-border placements, especially for galgos and podencos. Sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID are standard. Adoption fees typically cover the full vet workup.

Frequently asked

Adopting Turrona, answered.

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