Briciola

European Shorthair · Unknown · Young · 1 year

Briciola was brought to L.I.D.A., the large animal shelter in Olbia, and was very brave. She endured the pain caused by her twisted hind leg in silence. Behind the pain, her helpers saw gratitude in Briciola's eyes - gratitude that the pain was finally relieved. The leg was straightened as best as possible, but a twist remained at the lower end. Briciola can walk with the leg and move around well on her own, but it will always retain a limitation as she does not always fully load it. Despite this, the approximately 1.5-year-old cat has not lost her zest for life and is very people-oriented. Whenever the opportunity arises, she enjoys petting, love, and affection. Unfortunately, this is much too short in the shelter life. Therefore, we urgently wish for a home or foster home for the pretty tiger cat, so that she no longer misses the attention she longs for. Although Briciola has a handicap, we wish for a home with the possibility of free range in rural, traffic-free surroundings with few barriers, as she cannot climb well with her leg. She should also live with cat companions of similar age. If no suitable cat is available, Briciola would be happy to bring a friend or a friend from the shelter. Is the longing look of the lovable young cat still in your mind? Then contact me quickly. Briciola can hardly wait to finally find her people in Germany. Briciola is spayed, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Before departure, she also receives a parasite prophylaxis and is vaccinated against cat flu/cat distemper and rabies. We mediate nationwide, as long as you are willing to receive Briciola at one of the handover points along the transport route.

Als Briciola in die L.I.D.A., das große Tierheim in Olbia, gebracht wurde, war sie sehr tapfer. Sie ertrug den Schmerz still, den ihr verdrehtes Hinterbein verursacht haben muss. Hinter dem Schmerz sahen ihre Helfer die Dankbarkeit in Briciolas Augen – Dankbarkeit dafür, dass der Schmerz endlich gelindert wurde. Das Bein wurde so gut es geht gerichtet, aber dennoch ist eine Verdrehung am unteren Ende zurückgeblieben. Briciola kann mit dem Bein laufen und sich gut selbstständig fortbewegen, allerdings wird es immer eine Einschränkung zurückbehalten, da sie es auch nicht immer voll belastet. Trotz dessen hat die ca. 1,5-jährige Kätzin ihren Lebensmut nicht verloren und ist sehr menschenbezogen . Wann immer sich die Gelegenheit ergibt, genießt sie Streicheleinheiten, Liebe und Zuneigung . Doch im Tierheimalltag kommt das leider viel zu kurz. Daher wünschen wir uns dringend ein Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle für die hübsche Tigerkatze, damit sie die Aufmerksamkeit, nach der sie sich so sehr sehnt, nicht mehr missen muss. Obwohl Briciola ein Handicap hat, wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause mit der Möglichkeit zum Freigang in ländlicher, verkehrsarmer Umgebung mit wenig Barrieren, da sie mit ihrem Bein nicht gut klettern kann. Außerdem soll sie mit Katzengesellschaft in ähnlichem Alter leben. Sollte noch keine passende Katze vorhanden sein, bringt Briciola gerne eine Freundin oder einen Freund aus dem Tierheim mit. Ihnen geht der sehnsüchtige Blick der liebenswerten jungen Kätzin nicht mehr aus dem Kopf? Dann melden Sie sich schnell bei mir. Briciola kann es kaum noch erwarten endlich ihre Menschen in Deutschland zu finden. Briciola ist kastriert, gechippt und negativ auf FIV sowie FeLV getestet. Vor der Ausreise erhält sie außerdem eine Parasitenprophylaxe und ist gegen Katzenschnupfen/Katzenseuche und Tollwut geimpft. Wir vermitteln deutschlandweit, sofern Sie bereit sind, Briciola an einem der Übergabeorte entlang der Transportroute in Empfang zu nehmen.

About Briciola

What life with Briciola looks like

Briciola is a large young adult european shorthair cat waiting at PfotenFreunde Sardinien e.V. in Germany.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Briciola, answered.

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