How do I contact the shelter about Antares?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ENPA Monza e Brianza handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Antares on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Antares if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ENPA Monza e Brianza 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 Antares 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 Antares 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 ENPA Monza e Brianza early rather than rehoming privately; they know Antares 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.

Antares

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

General information: Shy kitten with white and red fur. Vaccinated and microchipped. Tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Character: Antares is a shy and reserved kitten looking for her place in the world. Her approach to people is initially cautious, but she stands out for her extremely calm nature and complete absence of aggression. Ideal adoption: For Antares we are looking for a quiet and stable environment with patient and understanding people who are aware of her background, able to offer her the security she has lacked so far. A single adoption without other cats is recommended. For families with children, older children are advised who are taught to respect a cat's space and timing. It can also be suitable as a first adoption, provided it is approached with awareness. A setting with a protected garden would be good where she can go out later, after a period spent exclusively indoors to settle and gain familiar points of reference. For cats that go outside, we recommend using a anti-escape collar (with a safety release that automatically opens if pulled) with an identification tag or similar. Available for adoption only in the province of Monza and Brianza and in the immediately adjacent municipalities. Background: Antares comes from a very complex and severely deprived situation, where she was unable to receive the care and attention she needed.

IT·Show original

Generalità: Timida gattina dal pelo bianco e rosso. Vaccinata e microchippata. Testata FIV e FeLV negativa. Carattere: Antares è una gattina timida e riservata che sta cercando il suo posto nel mondo. Il suo approccio con le persone è inizialmente timoroso, ma si distingue per il suo carattere estremamente tranquillo e la totale assenza di aggressività. Adozione ideale: Per Antares cerchiamo un contesto tranquillo e stabile con persone pazienti e consapevoli del suo vissuto, capaci di offrirle la sicurezza che finora le è mancata. Si consiglia un’adozione singola senza altri gatti di proprietà. Per famiglie con figli, sono indicati ragazzi più grandi, educati al rispetto degli spazi e dei tempi di un gatto. Può essere adatto anche come prima adozione, purché affrontata con consapevolezza. Bene un contesto con giardino protetto dove uscire più avanti, dopo un periodo da trascorrere tassativamente in casa per ambientarsi e acquisire i punti di riferimento. Per i gatti che escono, consigliamo in ogni caso l’uso di un collarino anti-strozzo (con chiusura di sicurezza che si apre automaticamente se viene strattonato) con medaglietta identificativa o simile. Adottabile solo nella provincia di Monza e Brianza e nei comuni strettamente limitrofi. Provenienza: Antares proviene da una situazione molto complessa e di forte deprivazione, nella quale non ha potuto ricevere le cure e le attenzioni di cui avrebbe avuto bisogno. Ora è pronta per iniziare una nuova vita, in una famiglia capace di offrirle stabilità, rispetto e affetto

About Antares

What life with Antares looks like

Antares is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

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.
