Blanchette, un’adozione “particolare”

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 4 years

Generalities: a beautiful calico cat, with a tricolored coat, white, red and black. FIV-FeLV negative, vaccinated and microchipped. Temperament: Blanchette is an independent and rather shy cat. Although not excessively fearful, she is not sociable with people, and since being in the cat shelter, she has remained wary of the staff and volunteers who care for her. She keeps her distance from people (minimum one meter) and does not like to be handled. This is obviously because, especially during the first months of life (those fundamental for socialization), she probably had very few positive contacts with humans. At the beginning of April we moved her to the so-called "ring", that is, the enclosed garden within the Monza cat shelter, enriched by a nice tree and several other plants, and equipped with wooden houses, beds and various tools and resources. She currently shares the space with the large cat Dimitri. Ideal adoption: For Blanchette we are looking for a situation where she will have plenty of freedom, where she will not feel "trapped" between four walls. A context with a garden or other outdoor space to explore and patrol is essential (after a period strictly indoors to learn the reference points). We know that the suitable families for Blanchette will be few, as a relationship with a shy and independent cat may seem "one-sided", giving the feeling of giving without receiving anything in return. Therefore, we are looking for a calm person or couple, experienced with cats, who will be satisfied to live with a cat, to admire her feline qualities: for her elegance, her athletic skills, intelligence and cunning, for the way she interacts with the world, without feeling the need to establish a strong emotional bond, but instead willing to accept a relationship with a high degree of mutual autonomy and deep respect for each other's space and nature. For the same reason, a good presence in the home is not essential. Available for adoption only in the province of Monza and Brianza and in the immediately adjacent municipalities. Background: Found with her sister (already adopted) in Cornate d'Adda (MB), at a sports center. But we do not know where they came from and we have no information about their previous life.

Generalità: bellissima gatta calico, ovvero dal mantello tricolore, bianco, rosso e nero. Testata FIV-FeLV negativa, vaccinata e microchippata. . Carattere: Blanchette è una gatta indipendente e piuttosto schiva. Pur non essendo eccessivamente paurosa, non è socievole con le persone, e da quando è in gattile è rimasta diffidente verso le operatrici e volontari che la accudiscono. Tiene le distanze dalle persone (minimimo un metro) e non si fa maneggiare. Questo evidentemente perché, soprattutto durante i primi mesi di vita (quelli fondamentali per la socializzazione) avrà avuto pochissimi contatti positivi con gli umani. All’inizio di aprile l’abbiamo trasferita nel cosiddetto “ring”, ovvero il giardinetto recintato all’interno del gattile di Monza, arricchito da un bell’albero e diverse altre piante, e provvisto di casette in legno, cucce e vari attrezzi e risorse. Qui attualmente divide lo spazio con il gattone Dimitri. Adozione ideale: per Blanchette cerchiamo una situazione in cui avrà parecchia libertà, in cui non si sentirà “prigioniera” tra le quattro mura. Fondamentale un contesto con giardino o altro spazio esterno da esplorare e pattugliare (dopo un periodo tassativamente in casa per acquisire i punti di riferimento). Sappiamo che le famiglie adatte per Blanchette saranno poche, in quanto un rapporto con un gatto schivo e indipendente potrebbe apparire “unilaterale”, dando la sensazione di dare senza ricevere nulla in cambio. Cerchiamo pertanto una persona o coppia tranquilla, con esperienza di gatti, che si accontenterà di convivere con una gatta, di ammirarla per le sue doti feline: per l’eleganza, per le sue abilità atletiche, l’intelligenza e l’astuzia, per il modo in cui interagisce con il mondo, senza sentire la necessità di stringere un forte rapporto emotivo, ma disposti invece ad accettare un legame con un elevato grado di autonomia reciproca e profondo rispetto dei propri spazi e della propria natura. Per lo stesso motivo non è essenziale una buona presenza in casa. Adottabile solo nella provincia di Monza e Brianza e nei comuni strettamente limitrofi. Provenienza: Trovata con la sorella (già adottata) a Cornate d’Adda (MB), presso un centro sportivo. Ma non si sa da dove arrivassero e non abbiamo informazioni sulla loro vita precedente. . .
