Martino

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Young · 3 years

Martino is a very beautiful unfortunate cat. Before entering the animal shelter he had an accident and months of hospitalization, then arrival at the animal shelter and life in a cage. How we would like to see him happy! We are sure that somewhere there is someone with such a big heart who chooses to give Martino a chance. Martino is about 3 years old, tested negative for FIV/FeLV and neutered male. After being hit by a car he suffered neurological damage. He uses the litter box but when he sleeps, sometimes he has accidents. He is a large cat, very affectionate, lively and sociable. For Martino an ideal situation would be a countryside environment where he has the possibility to live in an outdoor space.

Martino è un bellissimo gatto sfortunato. Prima di entrare al rifugio ha avuto un incidente e mesi di degenza, poi l’arrivo al rifugio e la vita in gabbia. Quanto vorremmo vederlo felice! Siamo sicuri che da qualche parte c’è qualcuno con un cuore così grande che scelga di dare a Martino una possibilità. Martino ha circa 3 anni, è testato negativo alla FIV/FeLV e castrato. Dopo essere stato investito ha riportato dei danni a livello neurologico. Lui usa la lettiera ma quando dorme, a volte, perde i bisogni. E’ un gattone molto affettuoso, vitale e socievole. Per Martino sarebbe ideale una situazione di campagna dove abbia la possibilità di vivere uno spazio esterno. Aiutateci a realizzare il nostro sogno, per Martino Per maggiori informazioni 3774814972

About Martino

What life with Martino looks like

Martino is a young adult mixed breed cat waiting at A.S.P.A. 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 Martino, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Martino?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. A.S.P.A. Onlus handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Martino on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Martino if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — A.S.P.A. 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Martino 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 Martino 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 A.S.P.A. Onlus early rather than rehoming privately; they know Martino 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.
