Cenerino

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 8 years

Ciao amici, my name is Cenerino. If you think I look a bit strange, thank the driver who left me at a supermarket in Olbia after catching me in the act. Without the help of kind people, I would have died. For months, I had to fight for my new life, I had severe injuries all over my head that hurt terribly. The worst was that my jaw and palate were broken, so my rescuers at L.I.D.A. and the animal clinic had to feed me with a tube. Otherwise, I would have starved. Now I'm doing much better and I'm looking for a loving home. I like people very much, and since I'm no longer so young, I don't want to fight with other cats anymore. A quiet female cat as a companion would be nice, but I can also imagine a single pampering program as a single prince. My mediator thinks I would be best in a cat-proof garden so I don't roam too far. A bit of fresh air would do me good, after everything I've been through. Do you have a quiet home and a warm place for me? Can you accept that I can't eat as elegantly anymore and take that into account? I'm a cat with life experience, it would be nice if you know how to respect older cats and stroke me in the right places. I'm sitting on the 3rd floor in a cat house, alone in a cage. The air is not so good and I don't get much else except a lot of noise. Everyone who wants to stroke me has to climb a ladder. Not many people do that. So, don't make me wait too long and contact my mediator soon. If you don't want me forever, I'm also happy about a foster place. I could leave soon, because I already have all the important vaccinations.

Ciao amici, mein Name ist Cenerino. Falls ihr findet, dass ich irgendwie komisch aussehe, dann bedankt euch bei dem Autofahrer , der mich vor einem Supermarkt in Olbia einfach liegen ließ, nachdem er mich voll erwischt hatte. Ohne die Hilfe lieber Menschen wäre ich gestorben. Monatelang habe ich um mein neues Leben kämpfen müssen, ich hatte schwere Verletzungen an meinem ganzen Kopf, die furchtbar weh getan haben. Am schlimmsten war, dass mein Kiefer und mein Gaumen gebrochen waren, so dass mich meine Retter in der L.I.D.A. und in der Tierklinik mit einer Sonde ernähren mussten. Sonst wäre ich einfach verhungert. Jetzt geht es mir schon viel besser und ich suche ein liebevolles Zuhause . Ich mag Menschen sehr gern, und da ich nicht mehr so jugendlich bin, mag ich mich nicht mehr mit anderen Katern herumschlagen. Eine liebe ruhige Kätzin als Gesellschaft würde mich freuen, aber ein Single Verwöhnprogramm als Einzelprinz kann ich mir auch gut vorstellen. Meine Vermittlerin meint, dass ich am besten in einem katzensicheren Garten aufgehoben bin, damit ich nicht zu weit herumstreune. Ein bisschen frische Luft würde mir auf jeden Fall gut tun, nach allem, was ich durchgemacht habe. Habt ihr ein ruhiges Zuhause und ein warmes Plätzchen für mich? Könnt ihr akzeptieren, dass ich nicht mehr so elegant fressen kann und darauf Rücksicht nehmen? Ich bin ein Kater mit Lebenserfahrung , es wäre schön, wenn du auch weißt, wie man ältere Katzen respektiert und mich an den richtigen Stellen kraulst. Ich sitze auf der 3. Etage in einem Katzenhaus, allein in einem Käfig. Die Luft ist nicht so gut und außer viel Lärm kriege ich nicht viel mit. Jeder, der mich streicheln will, muss auf eine Leiter steigen. Das machen nicht so viele Menschen. Also, lasst mich nicht zu lange warten und meldet euch bald bei meiner Vermittlerin. Wenn du mich nicht für immer willst, dann freue ich mich auch über einen Pflegeplatz. Ich könnte schon bald ausreisen, denn ich habe schon alle wichtigen Impfungen,

About Cenerino

What life with Cenerino looks like

Cenerino is a 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 Cenerino, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cenerino?
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 Cenerino on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cenerino 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 Cenerino 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 Cenerino 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 Cenerino 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.
