Zoe

European Shorthair · Female · Young · 2 years

Dolce, buona e coccolona Persone, bambini, gatti Ciao a tutti! Mi presento: sono Zoe, una dolcissima gattina nata a settembre 2024. La mia vita, purtroppo, non è iniziata nel modo migliore: sono stata abbandonata da piccola insieme ai miei fratellini. Per fortuna sono stata salvata e, dopo aver trovato una famiglia, sembrava finalmente arrivato il momento di essere felice. Purtroppo, dopo un anno e mezzo, la mia umana ha deciso di non occuparsi più di me e di mio fratello Tao. Così siamo tornati a vivere ospiti di una volontaria a Padova, che si prende già cura di tanti altri animali. Sono una micia bella, buffa, coccolona e giocherellona. Vado d’accordo con gli altri gatti, purché rispettino i miei spazi, e con i cani tranquilli. Il mio sogno più grande sarebbe trovare una famiglia insieme al mio fratellone Tao, con cui ho condiviso tante esperienze, ma posso essere adottata anche da sola. Cerco una famiglia amorevole che mi accolga per sempre e che non mi faccia più conoscere il dolore di perdere la mia casa. Attualmente mi trovo a Padova e cerco adozione in tutto il Centro-Nord Italia. Sono sterilizzata e negativa alla leucemia felina.

About Zoe

What life with Zoe looks like

Zoe is a small young adult european shorthair cat waiting at I Pelosetti di Silvana in Italy.

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 Zoe, answered.

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