Gea

European Shorthair · Female · Kitten

Hello everyone! My name is Gea, a sweet little cat born in May 2026, weighing around 4 kg. Unfortunately, my life didn't start off well: I lived with my siblings in a dangerous area near the road. Some of us were hit by cars or poisoned, and now we're down to just 7. Sadly, the person who took care of us so far can't do it anymore due to health issues. I'm a very good, sweet, and affectionate cat, and like all my siblings, I need to find a family that can finally give me a safe place, away from the road and its dangers. I'm looking for a loving family that will welcome me with patience and affection and give me the security and love that every cat deserves. I've moved from an Abruzzo shelter to a home in Veneto, Verona, but for a good adoption, I can relocate to all of Central-Northern Italy. I'm dewormed, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Buona, dolce, coccolona Persone, bambini, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Gea, una dolcissima gattina nata a maggio 2026, di circa 4 kg. La mia vita, purtroppo, non è iniziata nel modo migliore: vivevo insieme ai miei fratelli, in una zona pericolosa sul bordo della strada. Alcuni di noi sono stati investiti o avvelenati e, oggi, siamo rimasti in 7. Purtroppo la persona che si è presa cura di noi finora, a causa di problemi di salute non potrà più occuparsi di noi. Sono una gattina buonissima, dolce e affettuosa e, come tutti i miei fratelli, ho bisogno di trovare una famiglia che possa finalmente offrirmi un posto sicuro, lontano dalla strada e dai pericoli. Cerco una famiglia amorevole che mi accolga con pazienza e affetto e mi regali finalmente la sicurezza e l’amore che ogni gattino merita. Dall’Abruzzo sono salita in uno stallo casalingo in Veneto a Verona, ma per una buona adozione posso spostarmi per tutto il Centro-Nord Italia, sverminata, vaccinata e con microchip.

About Gea

What life with Gea looks like

Gea is a small puppy/kitten european shorthair cat waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇮🇹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 Gea, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Gea?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. I Pelosetti di Silvana handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Gea on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Gea if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — I Pelosetti di Silvana 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 Gea 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 Gea 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 I Pelosetti di Silvana early rather than rehoming privately; they know Gea 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.
