Lunatika

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Lunatika is a beautiful cat with a long, silky gray and white coat and two large, captivating yellow-green eyes. Vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. A name that fits her personality! Lunatika is a cat with a personality to be discovered, who needed a lot of time and patience before learning to trust people. Her entry into the shelter was far from easy; for most of the months following her arrival, she was terrified and reacted with great aggression, to the point of being completely unmanageable. It took a long time to win her trust, but over the months, thanks to the patience of the staff and the help of natural calming agents, Lunatika began to relax and show her true personality. Here, Lunatika unleashes her sociable and affectionate side. Character: Lunatika is a curious, exploratory, and independent cat who loves to observe her surroundings and discover the spaces available to her. She loves to explore and play with anything that comes her way, but always maintains a certain distance from people. She is not a cat that constantly seeks physical contact and needs her time and space respected. However, with people she knows and trusts, she can be very affectionate in her own way. She may rub against your legs, rest near people, and is not stingy with affectionate headbutts. However, we cannot call her a cuddly cat: she does not like to be touched and does not accept being held or picked up. She has made enormous progress compared to the past: today she no longer reacts aggressively to caresses, but still makes it very clear when she does not want to be touched. This also applies when she initiates the interaction! Here, Lunatika in her playful hunter version. Ideal adoption: We are looking for an experienced, patient, and respectful family for Lunatika, capable of understanding the language of cats and accepting that the relationship with her must be built respecting her times. She is not suitable for those looking for a cat to hold or cuddle freely: Lunatika needs to be able to choose when and how to interact with people, without ever feeling forced. She is not suitable for families with children and is not recommended for people new to cats. She could live with other cats, but compatibility must be assessed through a gradual and careful period of introduction, respecting the characteristics and times of all the animals involved. She has not been tested with dogs at the moment. Origin: Transfer of ownership.

Generalità: Lunatika è una bellissima gatta dal lungo e setoso manto grigio e bianco e due grandi e affascinanti occhioni giallo-verdi. Vaccinata, microchippata e testata FiI-FeLV negativa. Un nome… un programma! Lunatika è infatti una gatta dalla personalità tutta da scoprire, che ha avuto bisogno di molto tempo e tanta pazienza prima di imparare a fidarsi delle persone. Il suo ingresso in gattile è stato tutt’altro che semplice, per buona parte dei mesi successivi al suo arrivo era infatti terrorizzata e reagiva con grande aggressività, al punto da essere assolutamente non maneggiabile. Ci è voluto molto tempo per conquistare la sua fiducia, ma, con il passare dei mesi, grazie alla pazienza dello staff e anche all’aiuto di calmanti naturali, Lunatika ha iniziato piano piano a rilassarsi e a mostrare la sua vera personalità. Qui, Lunatika sfodera il suo lato socievole e affettuoso Carattere: Lunatika è una gatta curiosa, esploratrice e indipendente, che ama osservare ciò che la circonda e andare alla scoperta degli spazi che ha a disposizione. Adora esplorare e giocare con qualsiasi cosa le capiti a tiro, ma lo fa mantenendo sempre una certa distanza dalle persone. Non è una gatta che cerca continuamente il contatto fisico e ha bisogno che siano rispettati i suoi tempi e i suoi spazi. Con le persone che conosce e di cui si fida sa però essere molto affettuosa… a modo suo. Può strusciarsi alle gambe, riposare vicino alle persone e non è certo tirchia di testatine affettuose. Non possiamo però definirla una gatta coccolona: non ama essere toccata e non accetta di essere contenuta o presa in braccio. Rispetto al passato ha fatto enormi progressi: oggi non reagisce più aggressivamente alle carezze, ma sa comunque far capire molto chiaramente quando non desidera essere toccata. E questo vale anche quando è stata proprio lei a iniziare l’interazione! Qui, Lunatika in versione giocherellona-cacciatrice Adozione ideale: Per Lunatika cerchiamo una famiglia esperta, paziente e rispettosa, capace di comprendere il linguaggio dei gatti e di accettare che il rapporto con lei dovrà essere costruito nel rispetto dei suoi tempi. Non è adatta a chi cerca una gatta da prendere in braccio o da coccolare liberamente: Lunatika ha bisogno di poter scegliere quando e come interagire con le persone, senza mai sentirsi forzata. Non è adatta a famiglie con bambini e non è indicata per persone alla prima esperienza con un gatto. Potrebbe invece convivere con altri gatti, ma la compatibilità dovrà essere valutata attraverso un graduale e attento periodo di inserimento, rispettando le caratteristiche e i tempi di tutti gli animali coinvolti. Al momento non è stata testata con i cani. Provenienza: Cessione di proprietà.

About Lunatika

What life with Lunatika looks like

Lunatika is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

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 Lunatika, answered.

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