How do I contact the shelter about Tarta e Squama?

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 Tarta e Squama on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Tarta e Squama 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 Tarta e Squama 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 Tarta e Squama 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 Tarta e Squama 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.

Tarta e Squama

Mixed Breed · Female · Kitten

Tartaruga and Squama are two beautiful turtle shell-coated sisters, with Tartaruga having short hair and Squama having semi-long hair. They are vaccinated and microchipped. They have not yet been tested for FIV and FeLV. Character: Tartaruga and Squama are two very independent kittens. They are shy and a bit wary and are slowly starting to trust humans. They do not yet like to be handled too much. Ideal adoption: We are looking for a quiet and present family for these sisters, who has time to devote to the play and attention that a kitten needs. The coexistence with children is welcome, as long as they are educated to respect animals and supervised by adults. It is essential to protect the moments of rest, sacred for every cat and even more in the growth phase. It is essential to have a good presence in the house to continue the socialization process through positive interactions and moments of leisure. We do not consider, therefore, contexts in which the cat would remain alone all day. Possible outings in a protected garden will only be possible after a period of exclusive adaptation within the walls of the house to allow them to acquire the right reference points, and strictly after sterilization (around 6 months). For the safety of all cats with access to the outside, we always recommend the use of an anti-strangle collar (with quick-release safety catch) equipped with an identification tag. Adoption limited to the province of Monza and Brianza and strictly neighboring municipalities. Provenienza: Cornate d'Adda (MB)

IT·Show original

Generalità: Bellissime sorelline dal pelo squama di tartaruga, Tarta con il pelo corto mentre Squama con il pelo semi-lungo. Vaccinate e microchippate. Non ancora testate FIV e FeLV. Carattere: Tarta e Squama sono due gattine molto indipendenti. Di carattere timido e un po’ diffidente stanno iniziando poco a poco a fidarsi degli umani. Non amano ancora farsi manipolare troppo. Adozione ideale: Per queste sorelline cerchiamo una famiglia tranquilla e presente, che abbia tempo da dedicare al gioco e alle attenzioni di cui un cucciolo ha bisogno. La convivenza con i bambini è benvenuta, purché siano educati al rispetto degli animali e supervisionati dagli adulti. È fondamentale tutelare i momenti di riposo, sacri per ogni gatto e ancora di più in fase di crescita. E’ indispensabile una buona presenza in casa per proseguire il percorso di socializzazione attraverso interazioni positive e momenti di svago. Non si valutano, quindi, contesti in cui il micio rimarrebbe solo per tutta la giornata. Eventuali uscite in un giardino protetto saranno possibili solo in seguito, dopo un periodo di adattamento esclusivo tra le mura domestiche per permettergli di acquisire i giusti punti di riferimento, e strettamente dopo la sterilizzazione (attorno ai 6 mesi). Per la sicurezza di tutti i gatti con accesso all’esterno, raccomandiamo sempre l’uso di un collarino anti-strozzo (con sgancio rapido di sicurezza) dotato di medaglietta identificativa. Adozione limitata alla provincia di Monza e Brianza e comuni strettamente limitrofi. Provenienza: Cornate d’Adda (MB)

About Tarta e Squama

What life with Tarta e Squama looks like

Tarta e Squama 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.
