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.

A young 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 often microchipped and sterilized before leaving, but confirm with the shelter. Some public canili rifugio waive adoption fees, so ask the shelter about fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Adelaide e Flash, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Adelaide e Flash?
Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own 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?
Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask I Pelosetti di Silvana whether they will for Adelaide e Flash, what they require (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Adelaide e Flash already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Adelaide e Flash. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by I Pelosetti di Silvana, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Adelaide e Flash isn't the right fit?
Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask I Pelosetti di Silvana about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them 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.
