Accipigna e Pofferbacco

Mixed Breed · Male · Kitten

Two beautiful black cats, perfect for cat lovers! Accipigna, the female (left in the photo below), has an elegant black coat with a cute white "medallion" on her chest. Her brother Pofferbacco, on the other hand (right in the photo), is almost completely black, with only a few small white hairs on his chest. Both have beautiful green-yellow eyes, bright and expressive. Their names are inspired by exclamations of amazement and wonder, and we think they are perfect for two such charming kittens! They are vaccinated, microchipped and subjected to antiparasitic treatments. Not yet tested for FIV and FeLV. Character: Arrived at the shelter scared and wary, they have made excellent progress thanks to the patience, kindness and consistency of the operators and volunteers. Pofferbacco, the male, is the most enterprising of the two: curious and sociable, he has already discovered how pleasant caresses and contact with people can be. Accipigna, on the other hand, is still a bit more cautious, but has made huge strides. She loves cat-specific creams, a little "trick" we often use in the shelter to win the trust of the most timid or cautious kittens, and thanks to these she lets herself be approached more and more easily. We are sure that, with the right times and in a serene environment, she will continue to make progress, gaining more and more confidence in people and revealing all her potential, to build a deep and rewarding relationship with her future family together. Ideal adoption: For the little brothers Accipigna and Pofferbacco, we are looking for a couple adoption, so they can continue to grow together and maintain the strong bond that unites them. Given their young age, they need a family present, who can devote them time, attention and numerous opportunities for play, essential for a balanced and serene growth. They can also be suitable for people who are new to having a cat, as long as they are aware of the needs and responsibilities that come with welcoming two kittens. In the presence of children, it is important that they are respectful, adequately supervised and able to understand the moments of rest and the need for tranquility of the kittens. In particular, Accipigna, being the most timid of the two, needs a particularly patient and delicate approach. The possibility of accessing a garden, once sterilized and after acquiring adequate territorial and relational reference points, would certainly be an added value. Adoptable exclusively in the province of Monza and Brianza and in the strictly adjacent municipalities. Origin: Recovered in Giussano (MB).

Generalità: Per gli estimatori dei gatti neri (e sappiamo che sono tanti!), ecco due splendidi rappresentanti della categoria! Accipigna, la femminuccia (a sinistra nella foto sotto), ha un elegante mantello nero impreziosito da una simpatica “medaglietta” bianca sul petto. Il fratellino Pofferbacco, invece (a destra nella foto), è quasi completamente nero, con soltanto qualche piccolo pelo bianco sul petto. Entrambi hanno bellissimi occhi verde-gialli, luminosi ed espressivi. I loro nomi sono ispirati a esclamazioni di stupore e meraviglia, e ci sembrano davvero perfetti per due gattini così affascinanti! Sono vaccinati, microchippati e sottoposti ai trattamenti antiparassitari. Non ancora testati per FIV e FeLV. Carattere: Arrivati in gattile spaventati e diffidenti, hanno compiuto ottimi progressi grazie alla pazienza, alla dolcezza e alla costanza delle operatrici e dei volontari. Pofferbacco, il maschietto, è il più intraprendente dei due: curioso e socievole, ha già scoperto quanto possano essere piacevoli le carezze e il contatto con le persone. Accipigna, invece, è ancora un po’ più prudente, ma ha fatto enormi passi avanti. Va matta per le cremine specifiche per gatti, un piccolo “trucco” che utilizziamo spesso in gattile per conquistare la fiducia dei mici più timidi o cauti, e grazie a queste si lascia avvicinare sempre più facilmente. Siamo certi che, con i giusti tempi e in un ambiente sereno, continuerà a fare progressi, acquisendo sempre maggiore fiducia nelle persone e rivelando tutto il suo potenziale, per costruire insieme alla sua futura famiglia un rapporto profondo e gratificante. Adozione ideale: Per i fratellini Accipigna e Pofferbacco cerchiamo un’adozione di coppia, affinché possano continuare a crescere insieme e mantenere il forte legame che li unisce. Data la loro giovane età, hanno bisogno di una famiglia presente, che possa dedicare loro tempo, attenzioni e numerose occasioni di gioco, fondamentali per una crescita equilibrata e serena. Possono essere adatti anche a persone alla prima esperienza con un gatto, purché consapevoli delle esigenze e delle responsabilità che comporta l’accoglienza di due gattini. In presenza di bambini, è importante che questi siano rispettosi, adeguatamente supervisionati e in grado di comprendere i momenti di riposo e il bisogno di tranquillità dei mici. In particolare, Accipigna, essendo la più timida dei due, necessita di un approccio particolarmente paziente e delicato. La possibilità di accedere a un giardino, una volta sterilizzati e dopo aver acquisito adeguati punti di riferimento territoriali e relazionali, rappresenterebbe certamente un valore aggiunto. Adottabili esclusivamente nella provincia di Monza e Brianza e nei comuni strettamente limitrofi. Provenienza: Recuperati a Giussano (MB).

About Accipigna e Pofferbacco

What life with Accipigna e Pofferbacco looks like

Accipigna e Pofferbacco is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

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 Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Accipigna e Pofferbacco, answered.

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