Dimitri

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Generalities: a beautiful kitten with a soft white and red coat. Beautiful yellow-green eyes. Tested negative for FIV-FeLV, vaccinated (including against FeLV), and microchipped. Character: Dimitri is a friendly cat with good body language, who greatly appreciates human company but also values freedom and independence. This does not mean he has difficulty forming emotional bonds with people. On the contrary, he spontaneously seeks human company, caresses, and attention, but - of course - this does not automatically give us the right to "pick him up" or take him in our arms if he is not agreeable! As mentioned above, Dimitri also has a developed sense of autonomy and a strong desire for freedom. At the Monza cat shelter, he is housed in the small fenced garden of the cat shelter area, well equipped with a house, toys, various plants, and a beautiful tree, which he uses fully. He loves being outdoors and climbing the tree. For this reason, we are looking for a setting with a garden or similar and an owner or family that understands and appreciates his personality and needs. With all the cats with which he has shared this space, he has gotten along, maybe becoming good friends, but they have shared the spaces without jealousy or aggression. Ideal adoption: Dimitri can be defined as "a cat for many but not for all." We are therefore looking for someone who appreciates all aspects of his character and who will respect his space and timing. A garden setting for exploring and patrolling is essential (after a period strictly indoors to acquire reference points). Better not children too young to ensure a calm and reassuring environment; in the case of another cat already present, the opportunity of integration can be considered. In the cat shelter, we noticed that he seems to get along with dogs: when he sees them (on a leash, brought by the dog shelter volunteers), he approaches from the other side of the secure fencing, curious and never scared. For this reason, it could also be considered to integrate with a calm dog already accustomed to living with felines. Available for adoption only in the province of Monza and Brianza and in the immediately adjacent municipalities. Background: Biassono (MB). Below, watch the VIDEO of Dimitri enjoying the affection of operator Lara!

IT·Show original

Generalità: bellissimo micione dal morbido mantello bianco e rosso. Splendidi occhi gialli-verdi. Testato FIV-FeLV negativo, vaccinato (anche contro la FeLV), e microchippato. . Carattere: Dimitri è un micio simpatico, con una buona comunicazione corporea, che apprezza molto la compagnia umana ma che dà grande importanza anche alla libertà e all’indipendenza. Ciò NON vuol dire che fa fatica a formare rapporti affettivi con le persone. Anzi, cerca spontaneamente la compagnia umana, le coccole e le attenzioni ma – ben inteso – questo non ci dà il diritto automatico di “spupazzarlo” o prenderlo in braccio se non è d’accordo lui! Come detto sopra, Dimitri possiede anche uno sviluppato senso di autonomia e una grande voglia di libertà. Al Gattile di Monza è ospitato nel piccolo giardino recintato del settore gattile rifugio, ben attrezzato con casetta, giochi, e piante varie e un bell’albero, che sfrutta pienamente. Adora stare all’aria aperta e arrampicarsi sull’albero. Per questo cerchiamo per lui un contesto con giardino o simile e un proprietario o una famiglia che capisce e apprezza la sua personalità e le sue esigenze. Con tutti i gatti con i quali ha condiviso questo spazio è andato d’accordo, magari sono diventati grandi amici ma hanno condiviso gli spazi senza gelosie o aggressività. . Adozione ideale: Dimitri si può definire “un micio per tanti ma non per tutti”. Cerchiamo infatti per lui chi apprezza tutti gli aspetti del suo carattere, e che rispetterà i suoi spazi e tempi. Fondamentale un contesto con giardino da esplorare e pattugliare (dopo un periodo tassativamente in casa per acquisire i punti di riferimento). Meglio no bambini piccoli per assicurare un ambiente tranquillo e rassicurante; nel caso di un altro gatto già presente, si può valutare l’opportunità dell’inserimento. In gattile abbiamo notato che sembra andare d’accordo con i cani: quando li vede (al guinzaglio, portati dai volontari del canile), si avvicina dall’altra parte della recinzione, curioso e mai spaventato. Per questo motivo si potrebbe anche prendere in considerazione l’inserimento con un cane tranquillo, già abituato alla convivenza con i felini. Adottabile solo nella provincia di Monza e Brianza e nei comuni strettamente limitrofi. . Provenienza: Biassono (MB) . Sotto, guarda il VIDEO di Dimitri che si gode le coccole dell’operatrice Lara!

About Dimitri

What life with Dimitri looks like

Dimitri is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

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 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 Dimitri, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dimitri?
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 Dimitri on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dimitri 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Dimitri 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 Dimitri 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 Dimitri 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.
