Luce

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

26-11-2018 - Look at Luce growing, she is as beautiful as the sunlight, hence her name. Unfortunately, the little one is paralyzed and needs help to urinate, but remember that a cat like her can have a normal life provided that she is assisted in urinating at least twice a day. Luce is very sweet, she needs to go to a home; her life is now all here where you see her, and for a cat, you know that it's not life to be kept in a cage. 30-07-2018 - Today Luce was visited by the specialist. The small one will need an MRI to find out if her condition is due to trauma or if she had problems at birth. Next week we will decide together what to do; meanwhile, she is calm, a small and fragile creature who is not aware of her condition and lives peacefully. She needs a lot of physical contact, after all, she is just a little girl. 27-07-2018 - Tomorrow Luce will be taken to the specialist, as soon as we get the results we will update you. She is a wonderful kitten, we don't add anything else... Thank you to those who will support us. 26-07-2018 - The mother of the little one gave birth a month ago in a safe place, but at some point she took her outside and left her aside. Tourists noticed this and rescued her, desperate they took her to the clinic. They saw her dragging herself and didn't know what to do, moreover, they were about to leave soon. Luce has problems with her back legs, absence of deep pain. For now, the bladder needs to be manually expressed. We don't know why she is in this condition nor what her future will be, the instinct is simply to take her and hold her in our arms. Can we ignite a hope for Luce? We need your help to subject her to thorough tests and find out how we can help her. Thank you all, Luce deserves a second chance.

26-11-2018 - Guardate Luce come sta crescendo, è bella come la luce del sole, da li il suo nome. Purtroppo la piccola è paralizzata e deve essere aiutata per fare la pipì, ma ricordate sempre che un gatto come lei può avere una vita normale purchè almeno due volte al giorno venga seguita nella minzione. Luce è dolcissima, ha bisogno di andare in una casa, la sua vita adesso è tutta qui dove la vedete e per un gatto sapete che non è vita stare chiusi in una gabbia. 30-07-2018 - Oggi Luce è stata visitata dallo specialista. La piccola dovrà fare una risonanza magnetica per capire se le sue condizioni sono dovute ad un trauma, oppure se ha avuto problemi alla nascita. La prossima settimana decideremo insieme cosa fare, intanto lei è tranquilla, una piccola e fragile creatura che non si rende conto del suo stato e vive serenamente. Ha tanto bisogno del contatto fisico, in fin dei conti è solo una bimba. 27-07-2018 - Domani Luce verrà portata in visita dallo specialista, appena ci darà il responso vi aggiorneremo. E' una micina stupenda, non aggiungiamo altro... Grazie a chi ci sosterrà. 26-07-2018 - La mamma della piccola ha partorito un mese fa in un posto sicuro, ma ad un certo punto l'ha portata fuori lasciandola in disparte. Di tutto questo si sono accorti dei turisti che l'hanno soccorsa e disperati l'hanno portata in clinica. La vedevano trascinarsi e non sapevano cosa fare, oltretutto di li a breve sarebbero partiti. Luce ha dei problemi alle zampine posteriori, assenza del dolore profondo. Per adesso va spremuta la vescica. Non sappiamo perchè sia ridotta in questo stato nè quale sarà il suo futuro, l'istinto è solo quello di prenderla e stringerla fra le braccia. Riusciamo ad accendere una speranza per Luce? Abbiamo bisogno del vostro aiuto per sottoporla ad esami approfonditi e capire come poterla aiutare. Grazie a tutti, Luce merita una seconda possibilità.

About Luce

What life with Luce looks like

Luce is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at L.I.D.A. Olbia in Olbia.

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 Luce, answered.

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