Vaz

Domestic Shorthair · Male · Kitten · 10 months

Vaz is a black cat who was rescued in the Dama de Noche area of Marbella when he was approximately four months old. He is a very shy and reserved cat. He does not allow himself to be stroked, and when someone approaches him, his first reaction is to run away and hide. He is not a cat who enjoys direct contact, at least for now, and he needs his space and boundaries to be fully respected. With other cats, however, he is very sociable. The presence of other cats makes him feel safe, so we believe he could benefit from a home where there are already other calm cats to help him gain confidence and serve as a reference point. Vaz needs a family with experience with fearful cats, who understand his behaviour, do not demand interaction and are willing to offer him a stable, safe and patient environment. ✨ Adopting Vaz is an act of love and respect, giving him the opportunity to live without fear and at his own pace. 📩 Adoption contact: 📸 Follow us on Instagram:

About Vaz

What life with Vaz looks like

Vaz is a small puppy/kitten domestic shorthair cat waiting at Triple A Marbella in Marbella.

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.

Note from the shelter: Fearful cat requiring patient socialization and presence of other calm cats

🇪🇸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 Vaz, answered.

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