About Act
What life with Act looks like
Act is a puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at Canile della Muratella in Rome.
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 โ most shelters arrange this before adoption.
๐ฎ๐นAdopting 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 Act, answered.
- How do I contact the shelter about Act?
- Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Canile della Muratella handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Act on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
- Can I adopt Act if I live in another country?
- Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ Canile della Muratella 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 โฌ100โโฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
- Is Act 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 โ ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
- What happens if Act isn't the right fit?
- Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Canile della Muratella early rather than rehoming privately; they know Act 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 โ 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.
