Luisella

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 8 years

06-07-2018 - Look at our rare beauty, she is unique this little one, a truly special creature. Despite her disability, she plays, because she has understood that life is beautiful and it's always worth seeking a second chance. We thank all the people who are close to her, Luisella thanks everyone. 29-06-2018 - And there is also Luisella, as beautiful as the sun. As soon as possible she will undergo surgery to stabilize the spine. She is a very sweet little girl, her eyes speak. Thank you to those who will help us with her, your help is invaluable for us. 27-06-2018 - Luisella is a force of nature. She has a desire to live that you can't imagine, as well as her need to be always in contact with someone. She is so tiny, but fortunately she doesn't realize her condition and she is happy to live. We will get her back on track so she can face the operation, thanks to all of your help. Thank you friends, without your precious support we couldn't care for these creatures. 26-06-2018 - What can we say about her? She is as fragile as a little bird, very sweet and wonderful. Luisella has a strong desire to live and shows it every moment. She needs human contact a lot, she is just a little girl who, among other things, is suffering a lot. Luisella will be different but we are sure that with the right care and a special mother, her life will be wonderful. Thank you to those who will help us with the medical expenses and with the specific food. We need moist and dry food for gastrointestinal from Royal or Hill's. Thanks from Luisella. 21-06-2018 - Yes, her wings have really been broken. Today Luisella underwent x-rays, she has a complete displaced fracture between the t12 and t13 thoracic vertebrae. Complete irreversible paralysis of the hind limbs. There are no hopes for her. She is as beautiful as the sun but will never walk again. Who will adopt a kitten like her? What future can she have? Like the other paralyzed cats we have at the animal shelter and no one dares to help? Yet they have so much desire to live. How much sadness and bitterness for us. She is so beautiful and fragile but has a strong desire to live. As soon as she can undergo the operation she will be operated on to stabilize the spine. What can we say? We need a touch to the heart, now shattered by so much suffering. Thank you to those who will help Luisella with the veterinary expenses. Click on the photos to enlarge them! 20-06-2018 - She arrived at our place today. A little kitten of about 40 days old with paralysis in the hind legs. Beautiful as the sun, we named her Luisella. Tomorrow she will undergo all the necessary tests and we will inform you. We are no longer able to cope with all these daily emergencies alone. Every day is a war report. We are overwhelmed with debts, we lack important medicines. Maybe if we turned our eyes away, but how can we deny help to a fragile creature? It's really hard. We ask for your help to support the veterinary expenses. We don't have anyone behind our backs paying the bills, we are alone like these abandoned creatures.

06-07-2018 - Guardate la nostra bellezza rara, è unica questa piccolina, una creatura veramente speciale. Nonostante la sua disabilità lei gioca, perchè ha capito che la vita è bella e vale sempre la pena cercare una seconda possibilità. Ringraziamo tutte le persone che le sono vicine, Luisella ringrazia tutti. 29-06-2018 - E c'è anche Luisella, bella come il sole. Appena sarà possibile verrà sottoposta ad intervento per stabilizzare la colonna vertebrale. E' una bimba dolcissima, i suoi occhi parlano. Grazie a chi ci aiuterà anche con lei, il vostro aiuto per noi è preziosissimo. 27-06-2018 - Luisella è una forza della natura. Ha una voglia di vivere che non immaginate, così come la sua necessità di essere sempre a contatto con qualcuno. E' così piccina, ma non si rende conto fortunatamente del suo stato e lei è felice di vivere. La rimetteremo in sesto così che possa affrontare l'intervento, grazie all'aiuto di tutti voi. Grazie amici, senza il vostro prezioso supporto non potremmo curare queste creature. 26-06-2018 - E di lei cosa possiamo dire? E' fragile come un uccellino, dolcissima e meravigliosa. Luisella ha tanta voglia di vivere e ce lo dimostra in ogni istante. Ha tanto bisogno del contatto umano, è solo una bimba che tra le altre cose sta soffrendo parecchio. Luisella sarà diversa ma siamo sicuri che con le giuste cure e una mamma speciale, anche la sua vita sarà meravigliosa. Grazie a chi ci aiuterà con le spese mediche e con il cibo specifico. Abbiamo bisogno di cibo tipo Grastrointestinal umido e secco della Royal o della Hill's. Grazie da parte di Luisella. 21-06-2018 - E si, le ali gliele hanno proprio spezzate. Oggi Luisella è stata sottoposta ad esami radiografici, ha una frattura completa scomposta tra la t12 t13 vertebra toracica. Paralisi completa irreversibile del treno posteriore. Non ci sono speranze per lei. E' bella come il sole ma non potrà mai più camminare. Chi adotterà una gattina come lei? Che futuro potrà avere? Come gli altri gatti paralizzati che abbiamo al rifugio e che nessuno si degna di aiutare? Eppure hanno tanta ma tanta voglia di vivere. Quanta tristezza e amarezza per noi. Lei così bella e fragile ha tanta voglia di vivere. Non appena potrà affrontare l'intervento verrà operata per la stabilizzazione della colonna. Che dirvi? Abbiamo bisogno di una carezza al cuore, ormai frantumato da tanta sofferenza. Grazie a chi aiuterà Luisella con le spese veterinarie. Clicca sulle foto per ingrandirle! 20-06-2018 - E' arrivata da noi oggi. Una micina di circa 40 giorni con paralisi alle zampe posteriori. Bella come il sole, l'abbiamo chiamata Luisella. Domani sarà sottoposta a tutti gli accertamenti del caso e vi relazioneremo. Noi non siamo più in grado di far fronte a tutte queste emergenze ormai quotidiane da soli. Ogni giorno è un bollettino di guerra. Siamo sommersi dai debiti, ci mancano i farmaci importanti. Forse se girassimo gli occhi dall'altra parte, ma come è possibile negare aiuto ad una creatura fragile? E' veramente dura. Chiediamo il vostro di aiuto per sostenere le spese veterinarie. Non abbiamo nessuno dietro le spalle che ci paga le fatture, siamo soli come queste creature che vengono abbandonate.

About Luisella

What life with Luisella looks like

Luisella 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 Luisella, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Luisella?
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 Luisella on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Luisella 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 Luisella 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 Luisella 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 Luisella 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.
