The arrival of a new furry member to the home should be a very nice experience for everyone, including that animal. And it is that, when you decide to spend several years in the company of a cat, you are not only saving his life, but also the one who will take his place in the protector.
But how do you choose your new best friend? Today, you can find so much information that it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the fake the rest. Therefore, we are going to tell you how to adopt cats in Spain.
Where to find the ideal cat?
In order to choose your new furry friend, it is best to always go see him since during that first visit you will know perfectly which cat is the one you really want. But where to go?
Protective
It is the first place we recommend you go. In these animal shelters, the keepers take care of any cat and / or dog that comes to them, or that they come across: they feed and drink them, make sure that their cages are always clean, and above all, they look for good homes where they can lead happy lives.
These people know each animal in their care well, so it will be very easy for you to choose your new cat. A cat who, by the way, will give you an adoption contract in which it is said, in short 🙂, that you promise to take care of it as it deserves throughout its life, and that you will have it sterilized in case it does not it is. What's more, they will follow up, that is, they will go to see him at your house once or several times a year, or they will call you on the phone to find out how the little furry is doing.
Does it cost something to adopt in a shelter?
Yes, of course. The cat is free, but not their veterinary expenses. The feline is delivered with the microchip, with the vaccines and deworming, and they may make you pay $80, but it is a worthwhile amount since this way you can be completely sure that you are taking home a healthy cat. Think that only the microchip can be worth about 35 euros, the vaccines 20 euros each (and usually it is delivered with two layouts), and the deworming another 10 euros.
If you want to adopt a cat from a shelter but don't know which one is closest to you, go to the website of Bamboo Spread. There you will find all the ones in Spain.
Kennels
In the kennels there are not only dogs, but also cats, many cats. We also recommend you go here since, although it is a totally different place from the shelters, they are usually the first places where people who abandon cats take them. These cats, having lived with people, they have a very bad time in the kennels, since they are cold places, where nobody pays attention to them (except for the volunteers who from time to time go to see them to spend a while with them, and to take pictures of them to find them a home).
In addition, in Spain they only have 15 days to be adopted. After that time, they are sacrificed.
Does it cost anything to adopt in a kennel?
Yes, it also costs money. They give you the cat microchipped and vaccinated, and for that they can make you pay a few $50.
On social networks, protectors and volunteers upload images of cats daily, especially on Facebook. Spend some time looking at the profiles of the associations and contact them in case of doubt or if you like a furry. These are the most recommended pages:
- Cats for adoption: it is a public group where protectors and individuals upload photos and videos of cats that are up for adoption or in need of foster care.
- Jungle Animal: it is a closed group where photos and videos of dogs and cats that need a good home are uploaded.
- Animal brigade: is a page where the owner uploads photos of dogs and cats for adoption.
Help a street cat
Although the protectors are full, kittens born on the street can also live with a family. But I insist, kittens less than 6 months old, not adult cats since they most likely distrust people except the one who takes care of them if they have a caregiver. Kittens, on the other hand, can be very suspicious at first, but in a few days they will trust you. You just have to give them lots of love and confidence; well, and delicious cans of wet food so he knows how much he cares about you.
So I can assure you that in less than what you think he will have become one more member of the family 😉.
So, regardless of where you choose to find your new cat, I offer you my sincere congratulations. Once you have it at home, your life is going to change a lot. And for the better.
Hello, I have seen a girl who gives a white angora kitten with blue eyes that has been brought into her house and she cannot stay with it because it has many animals, I tried to get on my facebook (I never use it) and it gave me error. My wini was like him and he left me forever a month and a half ago with chronic kidney disease and we miss him terribly. Please if you see this contact me.
Thank you
Hello Rosario.
What error does Facebook give you?
I never use Facebook and I didn't remember my password, and the Facebook email is only for that and when I entered the email I didn't recognize it either, and I look for this girl every day who, looking into notigatos I found it and now I can't find it
