Čupa

Female · Young · 2 years

Čupa is a brave little terrier. She roamed the streets of Dubrava, searching for shelter and scraps of food. The days were cold, and the streets were dangerous. The worst night of her life changed her life. She felt an unbearable pain. She lay there, motionless and frightened. Her paw and a claw were injured. She thought her time was up. Thankfully, good people noticed her and brought her to a safe place. At the shelter, we operated on her. Unfortunately, we couldn't save her claw. She has a big heart, and her will to live is even bigger.

HR·Show original

Čupa je jedna hrabra čupavica. Lutala je ulicama Dubrave tražeći zaklon i mrvice hrane. Dani su bili hladni, a ulica opasna. Najgora joj je noć promijenila život. Osjetila je neizdrživu bol. Ostala je ležati, nepomična i uplašena. Zaboljele su je kralježnica i stražnja nožica. Mislila je da joj je došao kraj. Srećom, dobri ljudi su je primijetili i odvezli na sigurno. U Skloništu smo je operirali. Nožicu joj, nažalost, nismo uspjeli spasiti. Srce joj je veliko, a volja za životom još veća.

About Čupa

What life with Čupa looks like

Čupa is a young adult cat waiting at Dumovec in Zagreb.

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 Croatia

Croatian shelters include sterilization, vaccinations, and microchip ID in the adoption process. Several work with Italian and German rescue networks for placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Čupa, answered.

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