Tora

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 18 years

The story of Tora is one of many that highlight the importance of helping abandoned cats and supporting the work of a dedicated cat shelter in the fight against feralism and animal cruelty. Tora arrived at our shelter in very poor condition. She was a feral cat in bad shape, scared, and with serious health issues. A severe feline herpes had completely closed one of her eyes, and the situation was critical. To ensure she had a good quality of life, we had to intervene with surgery: it was not an easy decision, but it was the only way to give her a new chance. Today, fortunately, Tora is doing well. After treatment, surgery, and lots of love, she has transformed completely. She is a full of energy, lively, and curious cat. In fact, she can be a bit too much at times! She is hyperactive, wants to play constantly, and always seeks movement, stimulation, and company. For this reason, we are looking for a patient family that understands her lively nature and gives her the time to settle in. Ideally, she would be in a home with other cats, with whom she can play, run, and release all her energy. The story of Tora also reminds us of the fundamental importance of spaying cats to prevent unplanned litters and reduce the feral cat phenomenon. Every spay is a concrete step to prevent suffering, abandonment, and struggling colonies. If you are considering a responsible adoption and want to meet a special cat, come and meet Tora. She will win you over with her unique personality. The cat shelter is open every day until 12, even on holidays. Come and visit us, get to know our mics, and discover how you can help: through adoption, volunteering, or supporting our campaigns against feralism. Tora is waiting for you. And perhaps her forever home is yours. our shelter is registered at the Regional Voluntary Association Register with Directive Act n. 102/SA of 21/05/2008, number 260. Fiscal Code: 92049230516. Call the ASL central line, asking for the veterinary service, which will activate the trapping service on duty.

La storia di Tora è una delle tante che raccontano quanto sia importante aiutare i gatti abbandonati e sostenere il lavoro di un rifugio per gatti impegnato ogni giorno contro il randagismo e il maltrattamento animale. Tora è arrivata da noi in condizioni molto difficili. Era una gatta randagia mal messa, spaventata e con seri problemi di salute. Un forte herpes felino le aveva completamente chiuso un occhio e la situazione era ormai critica. Per garantirle una buona qualità di vita abbiamo dovuto intervenire con un’operazione chirurgica: non è stata una decisione facile, ma era l’unica strada possibile per darle una nuova possibilità. Oggi, fortunatamente, Tora sta bene. Dopo le cure, l’operazione e tanto amore, si è trasformata completamente. È una gatta piena di energia, vivace e curiosa. Anzi, a volte fin troppo! È super agitata, vuole giocare in continuazione e cerca sempre movimento, stimoli e compagnia. Proprio per questo per lei cerchiamo una famiglia paziente, che capisca il suo carattere vivace e le dia il tempo di ambientarsi. L’ideale sarebbe una casa dove ci siano già altri gatti, con cui possa giocare, correre e sfogare tutta la sua energia. La storia di Tora ci ricorda anche quanto sia fondamentale la sterilizzazione dei gatti per prevenire nascite incontrollate e ridurre il fenomeno del randagismo felino. Ogni sterilizzazione è un passo concreto per evitare sofferenza, abbandono e colonie in difficoltà. Se state pensando a un’adozione consapevole e volete conoscere una gatta speciale, venite a incontrare Tora. Dal vivo saprà conquistarvi con la sua personalità unica. Il rifugio è aperto tutti i giorni fino alle 12, anche nei festivi. Venite a trovarci, conoscere i nostri mici e scoprire come potete aiutare: con un’adozione, con il volontariato o sostenendo le nostre campagne contro il randagismo. Tora vi aspetta. E forse la sua casa per sempre è proprio la vostra Associazione Animalista ODVIscritta al Registro Regionale Associazioni Volontariato con Atto Dirigenziale n. 102/SA del 21/05/2008 al n. 260Codice Fiscale: 92049230516 Chiama il centralino della ASL () chiedendo del servizio veterinario che attiverà il servizio di cattura di turno.

About Tora

What life with Tora looks like

Tora is a small senior mixed breed cat waiting at Lo Scudo di Pan - Rifugio per Animali in Italy.

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.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tora, answered.

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