ALBERTINO

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Albertino Date of birth: 10.4.2017 Sterilized, vaccinated, negative FIV and FELV Albertino is a beautiful cat with golden eyes and a distinguished profile. He is a "cat's cat," with humans he has an innate and profound distrust that is only forgotten for a good reason, for example if there is a toy (or a snack) in sight. Yes, because he is not particularly bright, or brave, but fundamentally he is a big kid. With other cats he is good, he gets along with everyone and is certainly not dominant. Arrived as a kitten, from a not very recommendable place, in Arca he found his tribe. Albertino will never (probably) be an affectionate cat, but in a house with other cats he could finally find the serenity to relate without fear even with bipeds.

ALBERTINO Data di nascita : 10.4.2017 Sterilizzato, vaccinato, negativo FIV e FELV Albertino è un bellissimo gattone con gli occhi d’oro e un profilo importante. E' un gatto “da gatti”, con gli umani ha una diffidenza innata e profonda che viene dimenticata solo per un buon motivo, per esempio se c’è un giochino (o uno snack) in vista. Si, perché non è particolarmente brillante, o coraggioso, ma fondamentalmente è un bambinone. Con gli altri gatti è un buono, va d’accordo con tutti e non è certo un dominante. Arrivato piccolino, da un posto poco raccomandabile, in Arca ha trovato la sua tribù. Albertino non sarà mai (probabilmente) un gatto affettuoso, ma in una casa con altri gatti potrebbe trovare finalmente la serenità per rapportarsi senza paura anche con dei bipedi.

About ALBERTINO

What life with ALBERTINO looks like

ALBERTINO is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at ARCA Onlus 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 ALBERTINO, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ALBERTINO?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ARCA Onlus handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ALBERTINO on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ALBERTINO if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ARCA Onlus 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is ALBERTINO 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 ALBERTINO 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 ARCA Onlus early rather than rehoming privately; they know ALBERTINO 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.
