Elisa

Mixed Breed · Female

Sex: Female Year: 2018 Coat: Tricolour tortie Spayed: Yes Tested fiv/felv: Negative Temperament: Timid Notes: Elisa arrived at the animal shelter to be spayed, she was tested and resulted negative for fiv/felv. She is a calm cat, a bit timid but with the right person can become affectionate. She is not a cat for everyone, after all "torties" know what and who they want.

Sesso: Femmina Anno: 2018 Mantello: Tricolore tortie Sterilizzato: Si Testato fiv/felv: Negativo Carattere: Pauroso Note: Elisa è arrivata in rifugio per essere sterilizzata, è stata testata e risultata fiv/felv negativo. E’ una gatta tranquilla, un po’ paurosa ma con la giusta persona può diventare affettuosa. Non è una gatta per tutti, d’altronde le “tortie” sanno cosa e chi vogliono. Adottami a distanza

About Elisa

What life with Elisa looks like

Elisa is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Baffi e Code in Italy.

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 Elisa, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Elisa?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Baffi e Code handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Elisa on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Elisa if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Baffi e Code 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Elisa 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 Elisa 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 Baffi e Code early rather than rehoming privately; they know Elisa 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.
