Ham Hock

Male ยท Young ยท 1 year

Hello everyone! ๐Ÿพ Iโ€™m Ham Hock and Iโ€™m a gorgeous kitten born around June 2025. I was rescued along with my little sister by a kind-hearted man, but unfortunately the landlord doesnโ€™t want catsโ€ฆ and now Iโ€™m at risk of ending up back on the streets. It is urgent that I find a foster home or, even better, a permanent home. I am a young kitten with my whole life ahead of me. I need a real chance, a safe home where I can grow up peacefully and leave behind the uncertainty I have known so far. I am looking for a responsible family, ready to welcome me and give me stability and love. Even a temporary foster home can make a difference and save me from life on the streets. Would you give me this chance? Iโ€™m currently in Italy and can travel throughout Europe and the UK for a good adoption or a safe foster home. ๐Ÿ‘‰ I am in excellent health, fully vaccinated and have tested negative. ๐ŸŒž๐Ÿพ with an EU pet passport โ€“ ready for a loving home! ๐Ÿ‘‰ Placement only with a protection contract, a nominal fee and a pre-adoption check. ๐Ÿ“ Foster/adoption form: ๐Ÿ“ž ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Chiara (WhatsApp) โ€“ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Chiara (WhatsApp only) โ€“ ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Sabrina (WhatsApp)

About Ham Hock

What life with Ham Hock looks like

Ham Hock is a small young adult cat waiting at Furry Rescue Italy in Nazionale.

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 โ€” every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นAdopting 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 Ham Hock, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Ham Hock?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Furry Rescue Italy handles screening and the adoption contract directly โ€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Ham Hock on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Ham Hock if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad โ€” Furry Rescue Italy 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 โ‚ฌ100โ€“โ‚ฌ350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Ham Hock 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 โ€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Ham Hock isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work โ€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Furry Rescue Italy early rather than rehoming privately; they know Ham Hock 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 (EN). Translation is imperfect โ€” 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.
