Hope

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 18 years

Hope is a young, sweet and affectionate cat, marked by a difficult past but still full of trust towards people. She was found after an incident, alone and in delicate condition. At the time of her discovery, she was pregnant, but unfortunately, due to the trauma she had endured, she lost her kittens. Despite the pain she has experienced, Hope has not lost her good nature: she is a social cat, loves human contact, and seeks attention, demonstrating an extraordinary capacity for resilience every day. Today, she is ready to begin a new life, one filled with security, care, and affection. Hope is still very young and deserves a family that can offer her stability and love, allowing her to leave her past behind and finally build a peaceful future. Her story represents, unfortunately, one of the many consequences of feralism and abandonment. For this reason, our association is daily engaged in raising awareness about the importance of sterilization, a fundamental gesture for preventing unwanted births and reducing the suffering of so many animals. We invite anyone considering welcoming an animal into their home to make a conscious and responsible choice, contributing to combating the phenomenon of feralism. The animal shelter is open every day, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, until 12:00 PM. For more information about Hope or to come and meet her, you can contact us or visit the facility directly. Animal Welfare Association ODVI Registered with the Regional Voluntary Association Register with Act of Direction n. 102/SA of 21/05/2008, number 260. Fiscal Code: 92049230516 Call the ASL central line, asking for the veterinary service, which will activate the capture service on duty.

Hope è una giovane gatta dal carattere dolce e affettuoso, segnata da una storia difficile ma ancora piena di fiducia verso le persone. È stata trovata dopo un incidente, sola e in condizioni delicate. Al momento del ritrovamento era incinta, ma purtroppo, a causa del trauma subito, ha perso i suoi cuccioli. Nonostante il dolore vissuto, Hope non ha perso la sua natura buona: è una gatta socievole, ama il contatto umano e cerca attenzioni, dimostrando ogni giorno una straordinaria capacità di resilienza. Oggi è pronta per iniziare una nuova vita, fatta di sicurezza, cure e affetto. Hope è ancora molto giovane e merita una famiglia che possa offrirle stabilità e amore, permettendole di lasciarsi alle spalle il passato e costruire finalmente un futuro sereno. La sua storia rappresenta, purtroppo, una delle tante conseguenze del randagismo e dell’abbandono. Per questo la nostra associazione è quotidianamente impegnata nella sensibilizzazione sull’importanza della sterilizzazione, un gesto fondamentale per prevenire nascite indesiderate e ridurre la sofferenza di tanti animali. Invitiamo chiunque stia pensando di accogliere un animale a fare una scelta consapevole e responsabile, contribuendo così a contrastare il fenomeno del randagismo. Il rifugio è aperto tutti i giorni, inclusi sabato, domenica e festivi, fino alle ore 12:00. Per maggiori informazioni su Hope o per venire a conoscerla, è possibile contattarci o recarsi direttamente presso la struttura.

About Hope

What life with Hope looks like

Hope is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Lo Scudo di Pan - Rifugio per Animali in Italy.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇮🇹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 Hope, answered.

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