Virusa

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten · 10 months

Virusa is only 10 months old and has a whole lifetime ahead of her. She’s a gorgeous cat, but what truly sets her apart is her personality. She’s incredibly affectionate, friendly, and very, very cuddly. She loves to seek attention and crave human contact. She came to the shelter after we were alerted to a kitten that the previous owners could no longer care for due to her little eyes. However, for Virusa, this has never been an obstacle—she leads a completely normal life and right now all she needs are a few drops of eye medication daily to keep her eyes well cared for. Virusa is looking for a home where she can live loved and surrounded by the affection she so dearly enjoys receiving. In return, she’ll fill your home with purrs, companionship, and lots and lots of love. She’s spayed, vaccinated, and ready to start a new life. FELV, FIV, and heartworm tests: negative.

Virusa tiene solo 10 meses y toda una vida por delante. Es una gata preciosa, pero lo mejor de ella es su carácter. Es increíblemente cariñosa, simpática y muy, muy mimosa. Le encanta reclamar atención y buscar el contacto con las personas. Llegó al albergue después de que nos avisaran de una gatita de la que ya no podían hacerse cargo debido a sus ojitos. Sin embargo, para Virusa eso nunca ha sido un obstáculo, ella hace vida completamente normal y ahora mismo solo necesita unas gotitas diarias para mantener sus ojos cuidados. Virusa busca un hogar donde pueda vivir querida y rodeada del cariño que tanto le gusta recibir. A cambio, llenará la casa de ronrroneos, compañía y muchísimo amor. Está castrada, vacunada y lista para empezar una nueva vida. Test FELV, FIV y filaria: negativo. Mostrar más de su historia Mostrar menos

About Virusa

What life with Virusa looks like

Virusa is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at ALBA Protectora Madrid in Madrid.

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 Virusa, answered.

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