ZIMA

Mixed Breed · Female · Senior · 11 years

ZIMA è una gattona di circa 11 anni ed è stata trovata abbandonata davanti al nostro cancello nel 2015. Zima ha subito, a seguito di una pesante otite, un intervento che purtroppo ha avuto come conseguenza una leggera labirintite con la quale combatte ogni giorno con molta determinazione. È una gattina curiosa, dolce e tollerante con gli umani; non ama il contatto fisico ma non è affatto aggressiva. Ama molto giocare. Aveva intrapreso un percorso di adozione non andato a buon fine, quindi è ritornata al GAO dove attualmente vive in armonia con gli altri gatti. Per lei si potrebbe valutare una adozione del cuore. 🏥 Sterilizzata, microchippata e vaccinata

About ZIMA

What life with ZIMA looks like

ZIMA is a senior mixed breed cat waiting at Gruppo Ambiente ODV in Ronchi dei Legionari (GO).

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 ZIMA, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about ZIMA?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Gruppo Ambiente ODV handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw ZIMA on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt ZIMA if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Gruppo Ambiente ODV 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is ZIMA 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 ZIMA 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 Gruppo Ambiente ODV early rather than rehoming privately; they know ZIMA 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.
