Amber

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 18 years

Kitty arrived after a long journey from southern Italy, where she was rescued from the streets and an uncertain future. Having tested positive for FELV, she couldn’t remain in the colony where she’d been living, nor could she spend her entire life in a cage. Unfortunately, the volunteers in Bari were unable to find a permanent home for her, so they reached out to us. At the moment, Kitty is living with Ringo inside the association’s premises. Kitty is well-suited to apartment living; we’re looking for a loving family for her—a responsible adoption by trustworthy individuals who are willing to arrange regular veterinary check-ups. Even though she’s currently asymptomatic, unfortunately FELV is a feline disease that needs to be closely monitored (read our dedicated article to learn more). Come meet Kitty—call our adoption coordinator Patrizia at 379 3278976. Association Animalista ODV, registered in the Regional Register of Volunteer Associations under Management Act No. 102/SA of 21/05/2008, registration number 260, Tax Code: 92049230516. Call the ASL switchboard and ask for the veterinary service, which will then activate the on-call animal capture service.

About Amber

What life with Amber looks like

Amber is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Lo Scudo di Pan - Rifugio per Animali in Italy.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇮🇹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 Amber, answered.

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