Tigro

Mixed Breed · Male

Tigro is a sweet-natured cat, though his past hasn't been easy. After being abandoned in a feral cat colony, he endured a period of solitude that made him particularly sensitive and in need of reassurance. Despite this, he remains a curious and active cat, not one to give up on play or exploration. For Tigro, it's important to find a calm and stable environment with patient and present people who can respect his pace and approach him with gentleness. He needs continuity in relationships, as he struggles with separations. He is dewormed, vaccinated, and neutered. At the moment, he is suffering from the lack of a stable situation and a constant emotional reference. Let's help him find a family where he will feel loved and protected.

Tigro è un gatto dal carattere tenero, anche se il suo vissuto non è stato semplice. Dopo essere stato abbandonato in una colonia felina, ha attraversato un periodo di solitudine che lo ha reso particolarmente sensibile e bisognoso di rassicurazioni. Nonostante questo, resta un gatto curioso e attivo, che non rinuncia al gioco e alla voglia di esplorare. Per Tigro è importante trovare un contesto calmo e stabile, con persone presenti e pazienti, capaci di rispettare i suoi tempi e accompagnarlo con delicatezza. Ha bisogno di continuità nelle relazioni, poiché fatica a gestire i distacchi. È sverminato, vaccinato e sterilizzato. In questo momento sta soffrendo la mancanza di una situazione stabile e di un riferimento affettivo costante. Aiutiamolo a trovare una famiglia dove si senta amato e protetto.

About Tigro

What life with Tigro looks like

Tigro is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at OIPA Italy in Rome.

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 Tigro, answered.

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