Puma

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Puma, a sweet, gentle and affectionate cat, people, children, cats Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself: I am Puma, a very sweet kitten born in September 2024, weighing about 4 kg. Unfortunately, my life did not start in the best way: I lived with my siblings in a dangerous area on the roadside. Some of us were hit or poisoned and today we are left with 7. Unfortunately, the person who took care of us so far, due to health problems, will no longer be able to take care of us. I am a very good, sweet and affectionate kitten and, like all my siblings, I need to find a family that can finally offer me a safe place, away from the road and dangers. I limp on one paw because I was probably hit by a car. I am looking for a loving family that will welcome me with patience and affection and finally give me the security and love that every kitten deserves. I am currently in Abruzzo, but for a good adoption I can move to all of Central-North Italy, sterilized, dewormed, vaccinated and with microchip.

Dolce, buona e coccolona Persone, bambini, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Puma, una dolcissima gattina nata a settembre 2024, di circa 4 kg. La mia vita, purtroppo, non è iniziata nel modo migliore: vivevo insieme ai miei fratelli, in una zona pericolosa sul bordo della strada. Alcuni di noi sono stati investiti o avvelenati e, oggi, siamo rimasti in 7. Purtroppo la persona che si è presa cura di noi finora, a causa di problemi di salute non potrà più occuparsi di noi. Sono una gattina buonissima, dolce e affettuosa e, come tutti i miei fratelli, ho bisogno di trovare una famiglia che possa finalmente offrirmi un posto sicuro, lontano dalla strada e dai pericoli. Zoppico da una zampina perché probabilmente sono stata presa di striscio da una macchina. Cerco una famiglia amorevole che mi accolga con pazienza e affetto e mi regali finalmente la sicurezza e l’amore che ogni gattino merita. Attualmente mi trovo in Abruzzo, ma per una buona adozione posso spostarmi per tutto il Centro-Nord Italia, sterilizzata, sverminata, vaccinata e con microchip.

About Puma

What life with Puma looks like

Puma is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana 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 Puma, answered.

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