How do I contact the shelter about Rosso?

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

Can I adopt Rosso 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 Rosso 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 Rosso 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 Rosso 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.

Rosso

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

12-02-2015 - And while Pietro was running in the sky, another creature asked for our help. It happened last night, it was hit in Olbia in Via Veronese, the one who hit it left it there dying, not caring about the other cars coming. Compassionate hands took it off the road and put it on the roadside. We received the rescue call and intervened immediately. Its condition is very serious, a severe head trauma and a broken jaw. It was promptly stabilized and put on fluid therapy. We have named Rosso even though we do not know if it will survive. It is very serious. Unfortunately, cats in our city are forgotten. We are overwhelmed by cats, many in need but seem invisible, they live thanks to the compassion of some kind souls. WE REITERATE, for those who still do not know, we do not have public aid, all the treatments we provide to our beloved cats come only from our pockets and donations, no institution helps us, we do not have affiliated veterinarians. We want to clarify this to "bad rumors" that some spread among the people of our city with any excuse. Now imagine our situation: 200 cats to feed every day, cats involved in accidents, cats to treat. We thank anyone who can help us even in this latest emergency. We have never turned our backs, we have never done it, and yet we are just an association like many others!!!!!!!!!

12-02-2015 - E mentre Pietro correva nel cielo un 'altra creatura chiedeva il nostro aiuto. E' successo ieri sera, è stato investito ad Olbia in Via Veronese, chi lo ha investito lo ha lasciato li agonizzante, incurante delle altre macchine che sopraggiungevano. Delle mani pietose lo hanno tolto dalla carreggiata e messo sul ciglio della strada. Abbiamo ricevuto la chiamata di soccorso e siamo intervenuti subito. Le sue condizioni sono gravissime, un forte trauma cranico e frattura della mascella. prontamente stabilizzato e messo sotto fluido terapia. Lo abbiano chiamato Rosso anche se non sappiamo se potrà sopravvivere. E' gravissimo.Purtroppo i gatti nella nostra città sono dimenticati. Siamo invasi dai gatti, molti bisognosi ma sembrano invisibili, vivono per la pietà di qualche anima caritatevole. RIBADIAMO, per chi non ancora lo sapesse, noi non abbiamo aiuti pubblici, tutte le cure che prestiamo ai nostri amati gatti arrivano solo dalle nostre tasche e dalle donazioni, nessuna istituzione ci aiuta, non abbiamo veterinari convenzionati. Vogliamo precisare questo per " cattive voci" che alcun, con qualsiasi pretesto, fanno circolare tra le persone della nostra città. Ecco adesso mettetevi nella nostra situazione: 200 gatti TUTTI i giorni da sfamare , gatti incidentati, gatti da curare . Ringraziamo chiunque possa aiutarci anche in questa ennesima emergenza. Non ci siamo MAI girati dall'altra parte, non lo abbiamo mai fatto, eppure siamo solo un' associazione come ce ne sono tante altre!!!!!!!!!

About Rosso

What life with Rosso looks like

Rosso is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at L.I.D.A. Olbia in Olbia.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

🇮🇹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.
