XEILA (menina)

Mixed Breed · Female · 12 months

Xeila has a sad story, but we hope the new chapter will be happy. She was adopted as a baby, but soon she was locked in a kitchen alone. She had food but nothing else. Xeila is a sweet and playful kitten who seems to want to make up for lost time. Now finally free in a house, she plays, jumps, and purrs. She follows people curiously to see what they do. Born on July 16 (2025) and maybe she can have a new family when she turns 1 year old. She is spayed, has a chip, and will be delivered to the adopter's home. Ideal Family for Xeila:✅ A family with a young playful cat that needs companionship❌ Can not have access to the outsideTo those who want to adopt this cute one, we ask you to fill out the application form (click on the button at the end of this page).

A XEILA tem uma história triste, mas esperamos que o novo capítulo seja feliz. Foi adotada em bebé, mas em breve estava fechada numa cozinha sozinha. Tinha comida mas nada mais. A Xeila é uma gatinha doce e brincalhona, que parece que quer recuperar todo o tempo perdido. Agora finalmente à solta numa casa, brinca, pula e ronrona. Segue as pessoas curiosa para ver o que fazem. Nasceu a 16 de Julho (2025) e quem sabe possa ter uma nova família quando fizer 1 ano. Está esterilizada, tem chip e será entregue em casa do adotante.A família ideal para a XEILA:✅ Uma família com um gato jovem e brincalhão que precise de companhia✅ Valorizamos protecção nas janelas❌ Não pode ter acesso ao exteriorA quem quiser adotar esta fofinha, pedimos que preencha a ficha de candidatura (carregar no botão no final desta página).

About XEILA (menina)

What life with XEILA (menina) looks like

XEILA (menina) is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at SOS Gatinhos Setúbal 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 XEILA (menina), answered.

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