Zion

European Shorthair · Unknown

Alert! A furry meteorite has fallen into the living room and his name is Zion. As you can see in the photo, Zion has reached the peak of existential relaxation. He is not an ordinary cat; he is a floor philosopher who spends his day meditating on his back about the great mysteries of the universe, such as: "Why doesn't the tuna can open itself?"

¡Alerta de avistamiento! Ha caído un meteorito peludo en el salón y se llama Zion. Como puedes ver en la foto, Zion ha alcanzado el nivel máximo de relajación existencial. No es un gato común; es un filósofo de suelo que se pasa el día meditando bocarriba sobre los grandes misterios del universo, como por ejemplo: «¿Por qué la lata de atún no se abre sola?».

About Zion

What life with Zion looks like

Zion is an adult european shorthair cat waiting at Centro de Proteccion Animal de Madrid in Madrid.

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 Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Zion, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zion?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Centro de Proteccion Animal de Madrid handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Zion on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zion if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Centro de Proteccion Animal de 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Zion 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 Zion 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 Centro de Proteccion Animal de Madrid early rather than rehoming privately; they know Zion 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.
