Giulia

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Giulia arrived at the shelter with her two companions, Tonale and Stelvio. Unfortunately, Tonale is no longer with us, as his life was cut short by a tumor. Stelvio quickly became a people person, but Giulia needed much more time to learn to trust humans. Initially, she was extremely cautious of her surroundings. She made it clear that her personal space must be respected. She would not let anyone near her, as her response was loud hissing and quick paw swipes. Today, however, this protective shell has begun to crumble, and a very loving cat has emerged from underneath. There is no longer a sign of her former reluctance, and instead of razor-sharp claws, a new Giulia is waiting for pats. Now she lets herself be petted and even comes to seek pats. When her desire for pats is satisfied, she walks away with dignity and calmness. She is still cautious of strangers and guests and prefers to observe them from a distance, but curiosity always wins out over fear, and her interest in the world is reflected in her distant gaze. She simply needs a bit more time to fully open up. In the cat room, Giulia is a ray of sunshine. She is a great companion to other cats, friendly, sociable, and playful. Her favorite pastime is chasing toy mice and balls, in which her quick hunting instinct is revealed. She is completely indifferent to toys, however. She is a lady with definite preferences! Giulia is a real gem, and winning her trust and her daily opening up has been an incredibly warm and moving journey. Now she is waiting for a home offer where to continue this trust journey. If you want to try taming a stubborn cat, Giulia is halfway there. You don't need any previous experience or knowledge, just patience, understanding, and a big heart. If you feel that you might be the person who can help Giulia open up completely, please write to the shelter's email address. Interested? Fill out the application and offer a home!

Giulia saabus turvakoju oma kahe kaaslasega, Tonale ja Stelvioga. Tonale paraku enam meie hulgas ei ole, sest tema elutee jäi kasvaja tõttu liiga lühikeseks. Stelviost sai üsna ruttu tõeline inimestemees, Giulia aga vajas palju rohkem aega, et inimese usaldama õppida. Esialgu oli ta end ümbritseva suhtes ülimalt ettevaatlik. Ta tegi kõigile selgeks, et tema isiklikust ruumist tuleb lugu pidada. Ligigi ei saanud talle üldse, sest reageeringuks olid kohe vali susin ja nobedad käpalöögid. Tänaseks on see kaitserüü aga murenema hakanud ning selle alt tulnud välja üks uskumatult armas kassike. Enam ei ole tema käitumises märkigi endisest tõrksusest, nõelteravate küünte asemel ootab mind hoopis uus Giulia. Nüüd laseb ta end juba kenasti katsuda ja mis kõige armsam, tuleb ise paisid nõutama. Kui pai-isu aga otsa saab, kõnnib väärikalt ja rahulikult oma tegemiste juurde. Võõraste ja külaliste suhtes on ta küll veel ettevaatlik ning eelistab neid jälgida eemalt, kuid uudishimu saab kartusest alati võitu ja eemalt vaatamisest peegeldub suur huvi maailma vastu. Ta lihtsalt vajab veel veidi aega, et lõplikult avaneda. Kassitoas teiste kassidega on Giulia aga täielik päikesekiir. Ta on suurepärane kaaslane teistele kassidele, sõbralik, seltskondlik ja mänguhimuline. Tema lemmikhobiks on mänguhiirte ja pallide tagaajamine, milles avaldub tema nobe kütiloomus. Suletutid seevastu jätavad ta täiesti külmaks. Ta on kindlate eelistustega preili! Giulia on tõeline pärl, kelle usalduse võitmine ja igapäevane avanemine on olnud ääretult soe ning liigutav teekond. Nüüd ootab ta kodupakkumist, kus seda usalduse teed jätkata. Kui tahad proovida tõrksa taltsutamist, siis Giulia puhul on pool teed juba käidud. Selleks ei pea olema varasemat kogemust ega teadmisi, vaja on lihtsalt kannatlikkust, mõistmist ja suurt südant. Kui tunned, et võiksid olla just see inimene, kes aitab Giulial lõpuni avaneda, kirjuta palun turvakodu e-posti aadressile . Tekkis huvi? Täida ankeet ja paku kodu!

About Giulia

What life with Giulia looks like

Giulia is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Gabrieli Loomade Elu MTÜ in Estonia.

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 Estonia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Giulia, answered.

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