Adopt Alfa

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Alfa was taken by an irresponsible owner along with six other cats due to moving. Despite poor hygiene conditions, all the cats are socialized and relatively healthy. They need proper feeding and clean bedding. Alfa did not have a right eye upon arrival and underwent surgery to clear the eye socket. She has a large ulcer on her left eye. We hope the treatment will be successful and Alfa will see again. 27.5.2019 – Alfa was immediately separated from the others after being caught and spent the first week in hospitalization due to the operation and eye treatment. The cat is now in quarantine with us and we hope she does not develop feline panleukopenia like the remaining six who were placed with our fosterer and are currently in hospitalization at a veterinary clinic. We all hope these cats will survive this terrible disease. Even though one of them did not have the luck. Delta unfortunately was the first to stop eating and by the time feline panleukopenia was discovered, it was too late. Just like years ago, this infection has non-specific symptoms. The cats do not have diarrhea or vomiting. They just suffer from lack of appetite and two of them showed signs of calicivirus. 18.6.2019 – Alfa received her first vaccination in good health. Unfortunately, tests proved FELV positivity and the cat will go, instead of to the shelter, to our fosterer Daniele, who will take care of her. Even so, we are still looking for a new home for Alfa. She can go to a household without other cats, or to another FELV positive cat. FELV positive cats must not go outside, so Alfa is suitable only for an apartment. At first, she will probably be cautious, but once she gains confidence and gets used to it, she is very affectionate and kind. 22.5.2020 – Alfa has adapted well in her new place and the whole happy five (Beta, Gama, Ró, Tau) are content, affectionate and have no health complications. We are still looking for a new home for all of them. They are all fully vaccinated and their only handicap is FELV positivity, which means they cannot go outside and require a household without other cats (or only with other positives). 19.10.2022 – Alfa had her teeth removed and is doing fine. Although she has kidney problems, otherwise she is still playful and feeling well. 19.4.2024 – the cat is doing well. Although she hasn't found a new home yet, she is with her friends and is happy. 22.4.2025 – Alfa is a happy cat. She loves good food and her peace. She likes to come for a petting and some treat. When you choose a cat from us, we ask you for a donation for veterinary care, which is used to pay for veterinary expenses. We are a small non-profit organization, and all expenses related to cat care (veterinary, food, litter, medication, transport) are covered from our salaries, from the profit of our charity shop and donations. The costs of cat care are not negligible; a once-vaccinated kitten costs about 1200 CZK (vaccination, microchip, FIV/FELV tests, flea treatment and deworming), a twice-vaccinated kitten already 1600 CZK and for a spayed and twice-vaccinated cat we reach over 2000 CZK. When adopting a kitten, you pay a contribution of at least 800 CZK, and for a spayed cat 1000 CZK. If the new owner can and wants to contribute more, or bring something for the cat's teeth, a toy or litter, we would be happy. When taking the cat, you will also receive her vaccination record and if the cat is microchipped, the registration card for the microchip.

Alfa byla odebrána nesvéprávnému majiteli spolu s dalšími šesti kočkami z důvodu stěhování. I přes špatné hygienické podmínky jsou všechny kočky socializované a relativně zdravé. Potřebují pořádně vykrmit a dát dohromady kožíšky. Alfa při příjmu neměla pravé oko a podstoupila operaci kvůli vyčištění očního důlku. Na levém oku má velký vřed. Doufáme, že jeho léčba bude úspěšná a Alfa na něj zase uvidí. 27.5.2019 – Alfa byla hned po odchytu od ostatních oddělena a první týden strávila na hospitalizaci z důvodu operace a léčby očí. Kočička je teď u nás v karanténě a my doufáme, že se u ní nerozvine panleukopenie jako u zbývající šestice která byla umístěna u naší dočasky a momentálně je na hospitalizaci na jedné veterinární klinice. Všichni doufáme, že tuhle hnusnou nemoc kočky přežijí. I když jedna to štěstí neměla. Delta byla bohužel první, kdo přestal jíst a než se přišlo na panleukopenii, bylo už pozdě. Stejně jako před lety, má tahle nákaza nespecifické příznaky. Kočky nemají průjem ani nezvrací. Jen trpí nechutenstvím a u dvou se objevila kaliciviroza. 18.6.2019 – Alfa se ve zdraví dočkala prvního očkování. Bohužel testy prokázaly FELV pozitivitu a tak kočička poputuje, místo do depozita, k naší dočaskářce Daniele, která se o ni bude starat. I přesto pro Alfu hledáme nový domov. Může do domácnosti bez dalších koček, nebo k další FELV pozitivní kočičce. FELV pozitivní kočky nesmějí chodit ven, proto je Alfa vhodná pouze do bytu. Zpočátku bude nejspíš opatrná, ale jakmile se osmělí a zvykne si, je hodně mazlivá a hodná. 22.5.2020 – Alfa si v novém místě dobře zvykla a celá šťastná pětka (Beta, Gama, Ró, Tau) je spokojená, mazlivá a bez zdravotních komplikací. Stále pro ně hledáme nový domov. Všichni jsou již kompletně očkováni a jediný jejich hendikep je tedy FELV pozitivita, což znamená nemožnost chodit ven a domácnost bez dalších koček (popř. jen s dalšími pozitivními). 19.10.2022 – Alfa má za sebou vytrhání zubů a je v pořádku. Sice jí zlobí ledviny, ale jinak je stále hravá a dobře jí. 19.4.2024 – Kočičce se daří dobře. Sice nový domov nenašla, ale je v partě svých kámošů a je spokojená. 22.4.2025 – Alfa je spokojená kočka. Má ráda dobré jídlo a svůj klid. Ráda si přijde pro pohlazení a nějakou dobrůtku. Když si u nás vyberete kočku, požádáme vás o dar na veterinární péči, tento dar je využit na zaplacení veterinárních výdajů. Jsme malá nezisková organizace, veškeré výdaje spojené s péčí o kočky (veterina, krmivo, stelivo, léky, doprava) hradíme ze svých výplat, ze zisku charitativního krámku a darů. Náklady na péči o kočky nejsou zanedbatelné, jednou očkované kotě vyjde po veterinární stránce cca na 1200 Kč (vakcinace, čip, testy FIV/FELV, odblešení a odčervení), dvakrát očkované kotě už 1600 Kč a v případě kastrované a dvakrát očkované kočky se dostáváme k částce přes 2000 Kč. Při adopci kotěte zaplatíte příspěvek ve výši alespoň 800 Kč, u kastrované kočky 1000 Kč. Pokud nový majitel může a chce přispět více, nebo kočkám přinést něco na zub, hračku či stelivo, budeme rádi :) Při převzetí kočky dostanete i její očkovací průkaz a pokud je kočka čipovaná, tak i registrační kartu k čipu. Zaplacený dar na veterinární péči se dá odečíst z daní, potvrzení vám rádi vystavíme. V případě zájmu o tuto kočku můžete depozitum kontaktovat jak emailem, tak telefonicky. Nicméně vzhledem k tomu, že jsme zpravidla přes den v práci, nemůžeme zaručit okamžitou reakci. Proto doporučujeme mailovou komunikaci. Můžete také využít kontaktního formuláře přímo na profilu depozita. Kontaktovat depozitum

About Alfa

What life with Alfa looks like

Alfa is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Devět životů in Czech Republic.

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 Czech Republic

Czech shelters (útulky) include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID. The adopter signs a written contract (smlouva) — the shelter may follow up to verify wellbeing.

Frequently asked

Adopting Alfa, answered.

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