Patrizio

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 10 years

12-23-2016 - Yesterday we were contacted. Their cat, a persian, had disappeared in September from a street near the place where Patrizio was rescued. So we awaited the meeting eagerly, we won't hide that we believed it was him ... They asked if he had a ball on his head, but we didn't touch him, the cat was terrified since the day he arrived, we don't know what he may have gone through and how he ended up in that drain, but all his fears are justified. In the end they couldn't bring themselves to do it, they weren't sure it was him. We were clear and told them we would release him, it was pointless to keep him imprisoned in a cage. Well now Patrizio is free in the feral cat colony. Spayed, tested and vaccinated, he has regained his freedom. There was no Christmas story and maybe his destiny was to be with us, free, together with our cats. 12-22-2016 - We took care of him, we did all the prevention, we also spayed him and ... Tomorrow we will tell you the Christmas story and of a cat we thought didn't have a name but in reality is called Elio ... 12-20-2016 - We received the call on Saturday, there is a cat in the drain and can't get out. We left immediately and when we arrived we found the man who contacted us, who had already lowered a ladder to facilitate the descent for whoever would come to retrieve him. It wasn't easy to catch him. As you can imagine the cat was terrified and was looking for a grip to escape. Once caught we took him to the animal shelter. He was soaked in water, with the cold and wind of Saturday, poor creature. He has an injured left eye, we don't know what happened to him. Now he's safe, he's a gray kitten and we named him Patrizio, after the man who contacted us and saved his life. THE VIDEO OF THE RESCUE Click on the photos to enlarge them!

23-12-2016 -Ieri siamo stati contattati. Il loro micio, un certosino, era sparito a settembre da una via vicina al luogo in cui Patrizio è stato soccorso. E così abbiamo aspettato impazienti l'incontro, non vi nascondiamo che ci credevamo tanto ... Hanno chiesto se avesse una pallina in testa, ma noi non lo abbiamo toccato, il micio è terrorizzato dal giorno del suo arrivo, non sappiamo cosa tutto può aver passato e come sia finito in quel canale, ma tutte le sue paure sono giustificate. Morale non se la sono sentita, non erano sicuri fosse lui. Noi siamo stati chiari e gli abbiamo detto che lo avremmo liberato, inutile tenerlo prigioniero in gabbia. Ebbene ora Patrizio è libero in colonia. Sterilizzato, testato e vaccinato, ha riacquistato la sua libertà. Non c'è stata nessuna favola di Natale e forse il suo destino era quello di stare con noi, libero, insieme ai nostri mici. 22-12-2016 - Lo abbiamo curato, gli abbiamo fatto tutta la profilassi, lo abbiamo anche sterilizzato e... Domani vi racconteremo la favola di Natale e di un micio che pensavamo non avesse nome ma in realtà si chiama Elio... 20-12-2016 - Riceviamo la telefonata sabato, c'è un gatto nel canale e non riesce ad uscire. Partiamo subito e quando arriviamo troviamo il signore che ci ha contattati, il quale ha già calato una scala per facilitare la discesa a chi sarebbe andato a recuperarlo. Non è stato semplice prenderlo. Come potete immaginare il micio era terrorizzato e cercava un appiglio per fuggire. Una volta preso lo abbiamo portato al rifugio. Lui zuppo d'acqua, con il freddo ed il vento di sabato, povera creatura. Ha l'occhio sinistro offeso, non sappiamo cosa gli sia successo. Ora è al sicuro, è un micione grigio e lo abbiamo chiamato Patrizio, come il signore che contattandoci gli ha salvato la vita. IL VIDEO DEL RECUPERO Clicca sulle foto per ingrandirle!

About Patrizio

What life with Patrizio looks like

Patrizio 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 Patrizio, answered.

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