We are also open on Sunday mornings between 10:00 and 12:00. Please note that it may be necessary to wait before we can help you if we are busy.

All our cats receive regular parasite treatments and vaccinations while living at the shelter. Cats over 6 months old are neutered, both male and female. For kittens adopted under 6 months of age, we provide them with the necessary appointment when the time comes, so that they can have their surgery in one of the veterinary clinics collaborating with our association. This helps us to ensure that neutering is carried out, even when a cat lives in a flat with no contact with other animals. It avoids many problems of behaviour and coexistence with the feline and reduces some serious pathologies, such as breast cancer. And, of course, it avoids periods of heat and unwanted litters, which are the origin of many poor animals that end up lost or abandoned suffering in the streets. Please help us and always operate your cats before 6 months of age.

If you live abroad and require assistance transporting your cat, we can help you arrange all the necessary paperwork to complete the adoption and get your cat safely to your home. Please talk to us about this when you contact us.

The adoption

Aldea Felina is registered and follows the regulations of the Animal Welfare Laws passed in 2023. In this way you do not pay anything for the cat, but you contribute a fixed amount to help with the costs of the obligatory treatments that the animal must receive. Our adoption conditions are as follows:

In the protective association Aldea Felina we develop our work to give the best attention to the cats and that they are in the best possible state of health. The rescued animals undergo a strict veterinary follow-up. They receive the basic treatments of internal and external deworming, trivalent and rabies vaccinations, microchip identification and registration of the official European passport. In addition, they are spayed or neutered at the early age of 5-6 months, as required by law, to avoid health problems and unwanted litters. The adopter contributes approximately 50% of what these costs would be if done privately. The collaborating clinics help us generously by reducing their normal fees, in order to encourage all of us to adopt more animals from the shelters. In addition, our association pays another part, to cover all the necessary costs in each case (x-rays, analyses, etc.) until the animal is healthy and ready to be adopted.

With a contribution of 130 euros (VAT included) all these treatments that your cat needs to have are included. And payment can be made in cash or by bank transfer. Microchipping is compulsory for all cats in the Valencian Community from March 2023. It is the best way to make sure that you can be located if your cat gets lost and is found by someone. Also, this way your pet will be prepared in case he/she needs to travel and will be attended without problems in any veterinary clinic, when he/she needs any treatment in the future.

On the other hand, at the association we do a lot of education and information work for the public. During the adoption process of your new cat, you will be given all the relevant explanations you need. We will inform you about their character and state of health, as well as about neutering and proper nutrition. And also recommendations on how to make their adaptation to their new home in the best possible way. An identification document (DNI, NIE or passport) is required for the procedures and adoption by a minor is not allowed. In addition, you must have a carrier to take your new family member home or buy one from the shelter. For safety reasons, we do not allow our cats to leave the shelter or collaborating clinic without adequate transport.
