Aprica e Orobia

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

General information:** Two lovely kittens with white and tabby coats, each with a unique coat pattern and bright green eyes. What sets them apart further is the small black spot Aprica has on her little nose. Their names are a small tribute to the Lombard mountains. Both are vaccinated, microchipped, and treated against parasites. They have not yet been tested for FIV and FeLV. **Temperament:** These are two good kittens who are making great progress. They arrived at the Monza Cat Shelter terrified, but thanks to the patient work of the staff and volunteers, they are learning day by day to trust people and to face their surroundings with greater calm. They are curious and friendly: Orobia has already discovered the pleasure of cuddles, while her little sister Aprica is the more fearful of the pair and still maintains a certain wariness. Little by little, however, she too is gaining confidence, helped by the reassuring presence of her sister and by contact with the people she meets most often at the shelter. **Ideal adoption:** For Aprica and Orobia we are looking for a joint adoption, so that they can continue to grow up together and maintain the strong bond that unites them. Given their young age, they need a present family, willing to devote time, attention, and plenty of opportunities for play, which are essential for their well-being and balanced development. They may also be suitable for people with their first cat experience, provided they are aware of the commitment required to care for two very young and somewhat shy kittens. If there are children, we would prefer a family with children who are not too young, as sudden or particularly boisterous movements could frighten the kittens. In any case, it is important that children and teenagers are respectful, gentle, and adequately supervised by adults, so as to ensure the little felines peace and safety. Access to a garden would be an added benefit, provided that outdoor access only takes place after sterilization and once the necessary territorial and relational reference points have been firmly established. Adoptable exclusively in the province of Monza and Brianza and in the immediately neighboring municipalities. **Origin:** They were found in Giussano (MB) when they were about two months old. On arrival they were very frightened.

Generalità: Due graziose gattine dal pelo bianco e tigrato, ciascuna con un motivo del mantello unico e luminosi occhi verdi. A distinguerle ulteriormente è la piccola macchia nera che Aprica ha sul nasino. I loro nomi sono un piccolo omaggio alle montagne lombarde. Entrambe sono vaccinate, microchippate e sottoposte ai trattamenti antiparassitari. Non sono ancora state testate per FIV e FeLV. . . Carattere: Sono due brave gattine che stanno facendo grandi progressi. Arrivate al Gattile di Monza terrorizzate, grazie al lavoro paziente delle operatrici e dei volontari stanno imparando giorno dopo giorno a fidarsi delle persone e ad affrontare con maggiore serenità ciò che le circonda. Sono curiose e simpatiche: Orobia ha già scoperto il piacere delle coccole, mentre la sorellina Aprica è la più timorosa della coppia e mantiene ancora una certa diffidenza. Poco alla volta, però, anche lei sta acquisendo fiducia, aiutata dalla presenza rassicurante della sorella e dal contatto con le persone che incontra più spesso in gattile. . Adozione ideale: Per Aprica e Orobia cerchiamo un’adozione di coppia, affinché possano continuare a crescere insieme e mantenere il forte legame che le unisce. Data la loro giovane età, hanno bisogno di una famiglia presente, disposta a dedicare loro tempo, attenzioni e tante occasioni di gioco, elementi fondamentali per il loro benessere e per una crescita equilibrata. Possono essere adatte anche a persone alla prima esperienza con un gatto, purché consapevoli dell’impegno richiesto dall’accudimento di due gattine ancora molto giovani e in parte timide. In presenza di bambini, preferiremmo una famiglia con figli non troppo piccoli, poiché movimenti bruschi o particolarmente vivaci potrebbero spaventare le micine. In ogni caso è importante che bambini e ragazzi siano rispettosi, delicati e adeguatamente supervisionati dagli adulti, così da garantire alle piccole feline serenità e sicurezza. La possibilità di accedere a un giardino rappresenterebbe un valore aggiunto, purché l’uscita all’esterno avvenga solo dopo la sterilizzazione e una volta consolidati i necessari punti di riferimento territoriali e relazionali. Adottabili esclusivamente nella provincia di Monza e Brianza e nei comuni strettamente limitrofi. Provenienza: Sono state trovate a Giussano (MB) quando avevano circa due mesi di età. All’arrivo erano molto spaventate. .

About Aprica e Orobia

What life with Aprica e Orobia looks like

Aprica e Orobia is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇮🇹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 Aprica e Orobia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Aprica e Orobia?
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 Aprica e Orobia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Aprica e Orobia 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Aprica e Orobia 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 Aprica e Orobia 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 Aprica e Orobia 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.
