How do I contact the shelter about Vanessa?

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 Vanessa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Vanessa 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 Vanessa 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 Vanessa 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 Vanessa 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.

Adopt Vanessa

Female · Kitten

Description A girl sent an urgent alert about a injured kitten that had taken refuge with her babies under the kitchen of an outdoor patio... The poor thing was just crying, couldn't move, wouldn't come near to eat, and couldn't feed her babies. Some of our volunteers didn't hesitate and went to the address given to us to rescue her and take her to the vet urgently. Once there, they observed she was suffering a severe gash on her face, where there was no skin left and all the flesh was exposed, which must have caused her terrible pain. Vanessa received all the care and treatment necessary for her recovery, while her babies were raised by a foster mother as her mom was so weak she couldn't take care of them. Vanessa is a scared and a bit wild (or should I say was?) cat, but it's logical considering everything she must have endured while living on the streets. Currently, Vanessa is in the home of a volunteer with a huge heart who, with much patience, is helping her lose her fear and trust people again so that when the time comes she can be adopted. The progress is slow but fruitful, and it's wonderful to see how her expression is changing, finally we can see the relaxed and happy kitten she should have always been. Would you be willing to give her the chance to show her more gentle side? Meow-chas thanks!!

Descripción Una chica nos mandaba un aviso urgente sobre una gatita malherida que se había refugiado con sus bebés bajo la cocina de un patio exterior... La pobre solo lloraba, no podía moverse, no se acercaba a comer y no podía alimentar a sus bebés. Algunos de nuestros voluntarios no se lo pensaron dos veces y se acercaron hasta la dirección que nos habían dado para rescatarla y llevarla de urgencia al veterinario. Una vez allí, observaron que sufría un fuerte desgarro en la cara, donde no le quedaba ni rastro de piel y tenía toda la carne al aire, lo que le debía producir un terrible dolor. Vanessa recibió todos los cuidados y tratamientos necesarios para su recuperación, mientras que sus bebés fueron criados por una nodriza ya que su mami estaba tan débil que no podía sacarlos adelante. Vanessa es una gata miedosa y un poco salvajita (¿o debería decir era?) pero es lógico teniendo en cuenta por todo lo que ha debido sufrir mientras malvivía en las calles. Actualmente Vanessa está en casa de una voluntaria con un corazón enorme que con mucha paciencia esta consiguiendo que pierda su temor y confíe de nuevo en las personas para que llegado el momento pueda ser adoptada, los avances son lentos pero fructíferos y es maravilloso ver como le esta cambiando la expresión, por fin podemos ver la gata relajada y feliz que debía ser siempre, ¿Te animas a darle la oportunidad de demostrar su lado mas tierno? Miau-chas gracias!!

About Vanessa

What life with Vanessa looks like

Vanessa is a puppy/kitten 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.
