How do I contact the shelter about Castagna?

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 Castagna on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Castagna 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 Castagna 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 Castagna 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 Castagna 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.

Castagna

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 18 years

Arrived as a puppy, along with her other littermates, brought to us by our volunteer and friend Matteo. The stray cat mother gave birth in the courtyard next to the volunteer's home. After feeding the mother during nursing, the volunteer waited for the weaning process to complete and then, for safety reasons and with the hope of finding them adoption, brought the kittens to our shelter. Unfortunately, in the meantime, the cat mother, whom we had wanted to capture and spay, has gone missing. For her, the worst is feared, as it is a busy area. The kittens, now young adults and in good health, are guests at our animal shelter but are not very social, so we do not believe they are suitable for apartment life. For Castagna, we are looking for distant adoptions only. Animal Welfare Association ODVI is registered at the Regional Voluntary Associations Register with Directive Act n. 102/SA of 21/05/2008, number 260. Tax Code: 92049230516. Call the ASL central phone number (__) asking for the veterinary service, which will activate the capture service on duty.

Arrivata da cucciola, insieme ad altri fratellini, portati dal nostro socio e volontario Matteo.Mamma gatta, randagia, ha partorito nel cortile accanto a casa del volontario che, dopo aver sfamato la mamma durante l’allattamento ha atteso lo svezzamento e poi, per motivi di sicurezza e con la speranza di trovare loro adozione, ha portato i cuccioli al rifugio.Purtroppo nel frattempo mamma gatta, che avremmo voluto catturare e sterilizzare, è scomparsa, per lei si teme il peggio, essendo una zona trafficata.I gattini, ormai giovani adulti, in salute e ospiti da noi al rifugio, non sono al momento molto socievoli, quindi non crediamo adatti alla vita in appartamento, per questo cerchiamo per Castagna solo adozioni a distanza.

About Castagna

What life with Castagna looks like

Castagna 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.
