Dafne

Female · Kitten

Approximate age: 5 months (05.2026). MCH - 900263008169823; Breed: mixed; Country of origin: Latvia. Health status: no health issues observed. Additional information: short-haired, vaccinated. Approximately five months old, Dafne is a black and white beauty with a very special muzzle coloring - a black nose and white cheeks. She looks amusing, but Dafne's life is not so funny right now. Dafne is insecure and timid. She has not grown up in an environment where she could trust a person, and now in the shelter she is slowly learning that human closeness can also mean peace, care, and security. That's why Dafne needs an understanding and patient owner who will not expect immediate purring and stroking, but will be ready to give her time. Trust will not be "off the shelf" - it will have to be built gradually. Given Dafne's character, she is not recommended for families with young children. If you are ready to give a small, cautious kitten time and the opportunity to become confident, Dafne is waiting. Information posted on 07.10.2026.

Vecums (aptuvenais): 5 mēneši (05.2026.). MČ - 900263008169823; ). Bezšķirnes; izcelsmes valsts - Latvija. Veselības stāvoklis - veselības problēmas nav novērotas. Cita informācija: īsspalvaina, vakcinēta. Apmēram piecus mēnešus jaunā Dafne ir melnbalta skaistule ar pavisam īpašu purniņa krāsojumu - melns deguntiņš un balti vaidziņi. Izskatās amizanti, bet pašai Dafnei šobrīd dzīve nemaz neliekas tik jautra. Dafne ir nedroša un tramīga. Viņa nav augusi vidē, kur cilvēkam varēja droši uzticēties, un tagad patversmē pamazām mācās, ka cilvēka tuvums var nozīmēt arī mieru, rūpes un drošību. Tāpēc Dafnei vajadzīgs saprotošs un pacietīgs saimnieks, kurš negaidīs tūlītēju murrāšanu un glaudīšanos, bet būs gatavs dot viņai laiku. Uzticība šeit nebūs “gatavā komplektācijā” – tā būs jāizveido pamazām. Ņemot vērā Dafnes raksturu, viņa nav ieteicama ģimenēm ar maziem bērniem. Ja esi gatavs dot mazai, piesardzīgai kaķenītei laiku un iespēju kļūt drošai, Dafne gaida. Informācija ievietota 07.10.2026.

About Dafne

What life with Dafne looks like

Dafne is a puppy/kitten cat waiting at Jēkabpils Dzīvnieku Patversme in Latvia.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇱🇻Adopting from Latvia

The shelter typically completes the animal's vaccinations, microchipping, and pet passport before adoption. Specific fees and process details vary by shelter and country — confirm directly via the contact details in the sidebar.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dafne, answered.

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