JOHNNY

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 9 years

Johnny Date of birth: 1.10.2017 Sterilized, vaccinated, negative FIV and FeLV Here is our Johnny, a handsome tomcat found in a rental van that came from who knows where (and we always tease him saying he tried to steal it but was caught). Johnny is a cat with a nice personality, intelligent and determined. With humans he can be a good friend, he practically ignores other cats. He has slightly cloudy eyes, and the ophthalmologist we consulted assured us he can see fine, but probably had some untreated illness as a kitten. Johnny could do well as a single cat, but also with a companion. Johnny and the other cats at the Ark are placed in Milan and with the house safe.

JOHNNY Data di nascita : 1.10.2017 Sterilizzato, vaccinato, negativo F IV e FELV Ecco il nostro Johnny, un bel gattone trovato in un furgone a noleggio che proveniva da chissà dove (e noi lo prendiamo sempre in giro dicendogli che aveva provato a rubarlo ma è stato scoperto). Johnny è un gatto con una bella personalità, intelligente e determinato. Con gli umani sa essere un buon amico, gli altri gatti praticamente li ignora. Ha gli occhi leggermente velati, e l'oftalmologo che abbiamo consultato ha assicurato che ci vede benissimo, ma probabilmente ha avuto da piccolo qualche malattia non curata. Johnny potrebbe star bene come gatto unico, ma anche con un compagno. Johnny e gli altri gatti dell’Arca vengono affidati su Milano e con la casa in sicurezza .

About JOHNNY

What life with JOHNNY looks like

JOHNNY is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at ARCA Onlus in Italy.

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 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 JOHNNY, answered.

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