How do I contact the shelter about Poker?

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 Poker on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Poker 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 Poker 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 Poker 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 Poker 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.

Poker

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

General information: Kitten with white and brown tabby fur. Vaccinated and microchipped. Tested negative for FIV and FeLV. Personality: Poker is not for everyone but only for those who can read feline body language. He is a kitten with a big personality: he is independent, self-reliant and does not like to be handled or picked up against his will. We are looking for a responsible family that appreciates his integrity and does not look for a cat to "squeeze," but a friend with whom to share the home in total freedom. Ideal adoption: For Poker we are looking for a quiet family environment with people who have already had experience with cats. No families with children. A place with a protected garden is good, where he can go out later, after a period spent exclusively indoors to get used to and establish reference points. For cats that go outside, we recommend using a breakaway collar (with a safety closure that automatically opens if pulled) with an identification tag or similar. Available for adoption only in the province of Monza and Brianza and in the immediately adjacent municipalities. Background: Cernusco sul Naviglio (MI) near the hospital.

IT·Show original

Generalità: Gattino dal pelo bianco e tigrato nocciola. Vaccinato e microchippato. Testato FIV e FeLV negativo. Carattere: Poker non è per tutti ma solo per chi sa leggere il linguaggio del corpo felino. È un gattino dotato di una grande personalità: è indipendente, autonomo e non ama essere manipolato o preso in braccio contro la sua volontà. Cerchiamo per lui una famiglia consapevole, che sappia apprezzare la sua integrità e che non cerchi un gatto da “strizzare”, ma un amico con cui condividere la casa in totale libertà. Adozione ideale: Per Poker cerchiamo un contesto familiare tranquillo con persone che abbiano già avuto esperienza con gatti. No a famiglie con bambini. Bene un contesto con giardino protetto dove uscire più avanti, dopo un periodo da trascorrere tassativamente in casa per ambientarsi e acquisire i punti di riferimento. Per i gatti che escono, consigliamo in ogni caso l’uso di un collarino anti-strozzo (con chiusura di sicurezza che si apre automaticamente se viene strattonato) con medaglietta identificativa o simile. Adottabile solo nella provincia di Monza e Brianza e nei comuni strettamente limitrofi. Provenienza: Cernusco sul Naviglio (MI) nei pressi dell’ospedale.

About Poker

What life with Poker looks like

Poker 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.
