Adopt Micio

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

Micio is a beautiful 10-year-old cat, who in the last year has undergone more than one move and this has caused him to become depressed. He stays all day hidden in his bed, refusing food. Blood tests show nothing worrying, some liver values consistent with his age but nothing more. Micio has a broken heart, and such a sweet cat doesn't deserve this pain! Looking for a family that is faithful and chooses him forever. FIV: negative FELV:

Read original (it)

Micio è un bellissimo gatto di 10 anni, che in quest'ultimo anno ha subito più di un trasferimento e questo lo ha fatto cadere in depressione. Sta tutto il giorno nascosto nella sua cuccia, rifiuta il cibo. Dagli esami del sangue non emerge nulla i preoccupante, qualche valore del fegato in linea con l'età ma nulla di più. Micio ha il cuore spezzato, e un gatto così dolce non merita questo dolore! Cerca una famiglia che sia fedele e lo scelga per sempre. FIV: negativo FELV: negativo

About Micio

What life with Micio looks like

Micio is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Canile Rifugio di Brescia in Brescia.

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 Micio, answered.

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