About Eloise

What life with Eloise looks like

Eloise is a small mixed breed cat waiting at Le Sfigatte in Torino.

A 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 often microchipped and sterilized before leaving, but confirm with the shelter. Some public canili rifugio waive adoption fees, so ask the shelter about fees.

Frequently asked

Adopting Eloise, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Eloise?: Use the "View on shelter website" button on this page, which takes you to the shelter's own page. Le Sfigatte handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Eloise on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Eloise if I live in another country?: Often, but it depends on the shelter and the countries involved. Some rescues place animals abroad and some only adopt out locally, so ask Le Sfigatte whether they will for Eloise, what they require (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 Eloise already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: TailHarbor has no vaccination, microchip or sterilization details for Eloise. The adoption fee, and what it covers, is set by Le Sfigatte, so confirm with them what is included (vaccinations, microchip, sterilization, paperwork) and ask about specific vaccines, recent bloodwork or chronic conditions.
What happens if Eloise isn't the right fit?: Many rescues take an animal back if an adoption doesn't work, but policies differ, so ask Le Sfigatte about its return policy before you adopt. If things aren't working, talk it through with them early rather than rehoming privately; they know Eloise 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.
