Gin

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 4 months

This lovely 4-month-old turtle arrived at the animal shelter very frightened, but little by little, observing our movements and gestures carefully, she has begun to trust. Now she loves cuddles, she likes to play with balls and rubber mice... then to rest in a hammock. Adoption with pre-adoption home check and mandatory spaying. Given her still somewhat shy personality, we prefer adoption in an apartment. If you would like to meet the little Gin, we await you at the animal shelter in Mira from 13:00 to 16:00. Cell: 3476455649.

Questa bellissima tartarughina di 4 mesi è arrivata in rifugio molto intimorita, ma un po’ alla volta, osservando con attenzione i nostri movimenti ed i nostri gesti, ha iniziato a fidarsi. Ora ama le coccole, le piace giocare con palline e topini di gomma…per poi riposare in amaca. Adozione con Preaffido ed obbligo di sterilizzazione. Visto il carattere ancora un po’ timido, preferiamo adozione in appartamento.Se desiderate conoscere le piccola Gin, vi aspettiamo in rifugio a Mira dalle 13.00 alle 16.00.

About Gin

What life with Gin looks like

Gin is a kitten mixed breed cat waiting at ENPA Mira — Il Rifugio del Cane (Venezia) in Venezia VE.

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 Gin, answered.

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