How do I contact the shelter about Timmy?

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

Can I adopt Timmy 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 Timmy 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 Timmy 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 Timmy 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.

Likely adopted

Timmy

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 7 years

General Information: A very sweet, black-and-white tabby cat with yellow-green eyes and a pink nose. Vaccinated, microchipped, and FIV-FeLV negative. Temperament: Timmy is an absolute sweetheart! Sociable, affectionate, curious, and playful, he loves human company. He can’t wait for volunteers to come into his enclosure to receive cuddles and attention. As soon as someone sits down next to him, he spontaneously jumps onto their lap to enjoy some petting. He also gets along wonderfully with his two fellow cage mates. Ideal Adoption: Timmy is the perfect companion for a family, a couple, or a single person who is present and affectionate—someone capable of providing him with companionship and attention. Friendly, well-balanced, and adaptable, he can live happily even with children—as long as the children are taught to respect cats, their spaces, and their needs. He’s also an excellent choice for first-time cat owners. It would be wonderful to see him adopted together with one—or even better, both—of his beloved companions. He can also live in a home with a garden, provided he’s allowed access only after a proper adjustment period and once he’s established solid territorial and relational landmarks. Adoption is possible exclusively within the province of Monza and Brianza and in the immediately neighboring municipalities. Origin: Timmy comes from an unsuitable living and family environment, along with two other cats: Cosmo (his peer, possibly his brother) and Wanda (a few years younger). Upon arrival, he had several wounds and was limping. After a few weeks of treatment, he has fully recovered and is ready to start a new life. At the shelter, he’s truly been reborn and has adapted extremely well to his new, albeit temporary, reality.

IT·Show original

Generalità: Simpaticissimo micione dal pelo bianco e nero, con occhi giallo-verdi e nasino rosa. Vaccinato, microchippato e testato FIV-FeLV negativo. Carattere: Timmy è un vero amore! Socievole, affettuoso, curioso e giocherellone, ama la compagnia delle persone. Non vede l’ora che arrivino i volontari nel box per ricevere coccole e attenzioni. Appena qualcuno si siede accanto a lui, sale spontaneamente in grembo per godersi qualche carezza. Va molto d’accordo anche con i suoi due compagni di box. Adozione ideale: Timmy è il compagno ideale per una famiglia, una coppia o una persona single presente e affettuosa, capace di offrirgli compagnia e attenzioni. Simpatico, equilibrato e adattabile, può vivere serenamente anche con bambini, purché educati al rispetto dei gatti, dei loro spazi e delle loro esigenze. È inoltre una scelta adatta anche a chi è alla prima esperienza con un gatto. Sarebbe meraviglioso vederlo adottato insieme a uno o, ancora meglio, a entrambi i suoi amati compagni. Può vivere anche in una casa con giardino, purché possa accedervi solo dopo un adeguato periodo di ambientamento e una volta acquisiti solidi punti di riferimento territoriali e relazionali. Adottabile esclusivamente nella provincia di Monza e Brianza e nei comuni strettamente limitrofi. Provenienza: Timmy proviene da un contesto abitativo e familiare non idoneo insieme ad altri due gatti: Cosmo (suo coetaneo, forse fratello) e Wanda (di qualche anno più giovane). Al suo arrivo presentava diverse ferite e zoppicava. Dopo alcune settimane di cure si è completamente ristabilito ed è pronto per iniziare una nuova vita. In gattile è proprio rinato e si è adattato molto bene alla sua nuova, seppur temporanea, realtà.

About Timmy

What life with Timmy looks like

Timmy is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at ENPA Monza e Brianza in Monza.

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.
