Darinka

Female · Adult · 6 years

Date received: 1. 7. 2020 Record number: 79/2020 Gender: female Cat Born: May 2020, red, vaccinated, spayed, FIV and FeLV negative Darinka comes from a colony of stray cats in Chotěboř, a place where we are trying to have the cats neutered and find homes for kittens. At first she was shy. It took a long time before she gained trust and started coming for pats. Now even for more pampering. She is a nice cat that has no problems with other cat friends. She is looking for a home in apartment conditions, ideally with a cat friend. In a new home she will need time to get used to.

Datum přijetí: 1. 7. 2020 Evidenční číslo: 79/2020 Pohlaví: kočka Narození: květen 2020 odčervená, očkovaná, kastrovaná, FIV a FeLV negativní Darinka pochází z kolonie bezprizorních koček z Chotěboře, z místa, kde se snažíme kočičky kastrovat a koťátkům hledat domov. Zpočátku byla plašánek. Trvalo hodně dlouho než získala důvěru a začala si chodit pro pohlazení. Nyní i pro větší pomazlení. Je to hodná kočička, která nemá problém ani s dalšími kočičími kamarády. Domov hledá v bytových podmínkách, ideálně s kočičím kamarádem. V novém domově bude potřeba jí dát čas na to aby si zvykla.

About Darinka

What life with Darinka looks like

Darinka is a adult cat waiting at Mikes HB in Havlíčkův Brod.

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 Darinka, answered.

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