Semola

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

Generalities: Adorable feline with soft rosy and white fur. Vaccinated, microchipped, and treated with antiparasitic prophylaxis. Not yet tested for FIV-FeLV. Uses the litter box and scratching post correctly. Character: A fantastic kitten, full of life and very sociable. When meeting new people, she may initially appear a bit timid, but she takes little time to warm up and immediately seeks company and attention. She is a curious and explorative little cat: she climbs everywhere to observe the world outside the window. She is also rather independent and knows how to amuse herself, but she loves having people around to interact with. Everyone who has met her calls her "living silver." She likes to jump onto shoulders and can be picked up without a problem; once settled, she immediately starts purring... before resuming play at full speed. She adores jumping on the bed or the transport carrier, not always with great elegance. Not surprisingly, her endearing nickname is "Scemola": in her reckless athletic endeavors, coordination is not always perfect... but at her age, it is more than understandable! When she starts playing with hands—something that should be discouraged from a young age—Clara and her family offer her a toothbrush, a game she goes absolutely wild for (see the photo above!). Ideal adoption: Semola is ideal for a dynamic family with good presence at home and capable of offering her plenty of playtime and attention—especially important for such a young kitten. Suitable for first-time pet owners, as long as they are aware of the needs of a "puppy." Although she has not yet had the opportunity to meet children since being housed by Clara, we think she could fit well into a family with respectful and supervised children, capable of understanding her need for rest and space. Available for adoption only in the province of Monza and Brianza and in the closely adjacent communes. Background: A truly delicate and risky rescue. Near the entrance to the bypass, in Viale Lombardia in Monza, residents heard a faint meow coming from under a concrete slab. Thanks to the invaluable intervention of the Fire Department, who lifted the block, a tiny white and rosy kitten was found huddled and terrified underneath. We know nothing about her early weeks of life, and how she ended up there remains a mystery. Despite the great fright, the little one, who was about a month and a half old, was in relatively good health. One month after her discovery, she was vaccinated and is now finally ready to find a forever home.

Generalità: Adorabile gattina dal soffice pelo rosso e bianco. Vaccinata, microchippata e trattata con profilassi antiparassitarie. Non ancora testata FIV-FeLV. Usa correttamente sia la lettiera sia il tiragraffi. Carattere: Una gattina fantastica, piena di vita e molto socievole. Quando incontra persone nuove inizialmente può mostrarsi un po’ timorosa, ma le basta pochissimo per prendere confidenza e cercare subito compagnia e attenzioni. . È una micia curiosa ed esploratrice: si arrampica ovunque per osservare il mondo fuori dalla finestra. È anche piuttosto indipendente e sa divertirsi da sola, ma ama avere persone intorno con cui interagire. Tutti quelli che l’hanno conosciuta l’hanno definita “argento vivo”! Le piace saltare sulle spalle e si lascia prendere in braccio senza problemi; una volta accoccolata, parte subito con un concerto di fusa… prima di riprendere a giocare a tutta velocità. Adora saltare sul letto o sul trasportino, non sempre con grande eleganza. Non a caso, il suo simpatico soprannome è “Scemola”: nelle sue spericolate imprese atletiche non sempre la coordinazione è perfetta… ma alla sua età è più che comprensibile! . Quando inizia a giocare con le mani — abitudine da scoraggiare fin da piccola — Clara e i suoi familiari le propongono uno spazzolino da denti, gioco per cui va assolutamente pazza (vedi foto in alto!). . Adozione ideale: Semola è ideale per una famiglia dinamica, con una buona presenza in casa e capace di offrirle tante occasioni di gioco e attenzioni — aspetti fondamentali soprattutto per una gattina così giovane. Adatta anche a persone alla prima esperienza, purché consapevoli delle esigenze di un cucciolo. . Anche se da quando è ospitata da Clara non ha ancora avuto occasione di conoscere bambini, pensiamo che potrebbe inserirsi molto bene in una famiglia con bambini rispettosi e supervisionati, in grado di comprenderne i momenti di riposo e il bisogno di spazio. . Adottabile solo nella provincia di Monza e Brianza e nei comuni strettamente limitrofi. . Provenienza: Un recupero davvero delicato e rischioso. Presso alcune palazzine vicino all’imbocco della tangenziale, in Viale Lombardia a Monza, i residenti hanno sentito un flebile miagolio provenire da sotto una lastra di cemento. Grazie al prezioso intervento dei Vigili del Fuoco, che hanno sollevato il blocco, lì sotto è stata trovata una minuscola gattina bianca e rossa, rannicchiata e terrorizzata. . Delle sue prime settimane di vita non sappiamo nulla, e come sia arrivata lì rimane un mistero. Nonostante il grande spavento, la piccola — che aveva circa un mese e mezzo — era tutto sommato in buone condizioni di salute. . A un mese dal suo ritrovamento è stata vaccinata e ora è finalmente pronta a trovare una famiglia per sempre.

About Semola

What life with Semola looks like

Semola is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇮🇹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 Semola, answered.

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