Adopt Twiglet

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

Meet Twiglet (Twigs to his pals!) We rescued Twiglet alongside our affiliates Arche Noah as he had Feline Panleukopenia Virus, which is a type of Parvovirus and they had too many unvaccinated kittens. As he was highly contagious, we quarantined him in our bathroom to safeguard our own animals. Emma had to go in three times a day to administer a drip and his medicine. With a 3% chance of survival he was cold, stiff, and extremely thin but he had the most amazing little meow and pulled through! He is now on a list of blood donors to help other cats with Feline Panleukopenia Virus. As you can see, he looked like a Tim Burton cat for a while but he is a healthy cat now, always there at meal times to ask the volunteers for some of their food!

About Twiglet

What life with Twiglet looks like

Twiglet is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tenerife Animal Sanctuary in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

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 Twiglet, answered.

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