Adelaide e Flash

Female · Young · 3 years

Hello everyone! We are Adelaide and Flash. I am Adelaide, born in August 2023. He is Flash, my little one, born in May 2026. We are mother and son and have known abandonment in Puglia. We were left alone, but fortunately someone decided not to turn away and saved us, bringing us to Milan, where we are finally safe, in a foster home. I, Adelaide, am a very sweet and calm cat. However, I have discovered that I am FIV positive, while I am FeLV negative. My little Flash, on the other hand, is FIV and FeLV negative. He has always grown up next to me and there is a special bond between us that unites us deeply. We have already lost our home and experienced abandonment, and now we would like only a family that can look at us for what we really are, without stopping in front of a positive test. The FIV does not erase my sweetness, nor my need to be loved. We are a mother and a son who need security, love and a family that makes us forget what we have been through. We can be adopted together or separately, because the most important thing is to find the best solution for both of us. We would only like a home, someone who takes care of us and the certainty of not being abandoned again. We are in Milan, currently in foster care. For a good adoption we can reach the Central-North Italy.

Dolci, tranquilli e coccoloni Ciao a tutti! Ci presentiamo: siamo Adelaide e Flash. Io sono Adelaide, nata ad agosto 2023. Lui è Flash, il mio piccolo, nato a maggio 2026. Siamo mamma e figlio e abbiamo conosciuto l’abbandono in Puglia. Siamo stati lasciati soli, ma per fortuna qualcuno ha deciso di non girarsi dall’altra parte e ci ha salvati, portandoci fino a Milano, dove oggi siamo finalmente al sicuro, in stallo. Io, Adelaide, sono una gatta dolcissima e tranquilla. Ho però scoperto di essere FIV positiva, mentre sono FeLV negativa. Il mio piccolo Flash, invece, è FIV e FeLV negativo. Lui è cresciuto sempre accanto a me e tra noi c’è un legame speciale che ci unisce profondamente. Abbiamo già perso la nostra casa e conosciuto l’abbandono, e ora vorremmo soltanto una famiglia capace di guardarci per quello che siamo davvero, senza fermarsi davanti a un test positivo. La FIV non cancella la mia dolcezza, né il mio bisogno di essere amata. Siamo una mamma e un figlio che hanno bisogno di sicurezza, amore e di una famiglia che ci faccia dimenticare quello che abbiamo passato. Possiamo essere adottati insieme oppure separatamente, perché la cosa più importante è trovare per entrambi la soluzione migliore. Vorremmo soltanto una casa, qualcuno che si prenda cura di noi e la certezza di non essere più abbandonati. Siamo a Milano, attualmente in stallo. Per una buona adozione possiamo raggiungere il Centro-Nord Italia.

About Adelaide e Flash

What life with Adelaide e Flash looks like

Adelaide e Flash is a small young adult cat waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

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 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 Adelaide e Flash, answered.

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