Dorka

Female · Adult · 7 years

Dorka is a cat who ended up on the street after her owner died. Along with other cat friends, she suffered outside until she found safety with us. Dorka is making progress, but needs time. She is still cautious with touch - afraid of hands and prefers to run away. But when night comes, she quietly lies at her person's feet. And when she allows to be petted, she really enjoys it, purrs, mews and presents herself. However, any unexpected noise can scare her again. Therefore, we are looking for a home where she will get time, patience and space for gradual bonding. Dorka is looking for: A quiet home only inside - without access outside. A patient person - needs someone who will give her time and won't pressure her. Cat friends are welcome - she likes other cats, so she would also appreciate the company of another furball. She is clean and nicely litter trained - she always takes care of her bowl. Part of the adoption is signing an adoption contract and an adoption fee of 2000 CZK.

CS·Show original

Dorka je kočička, která se ocitla na ulici poté, co jí zemřel majitel. Spolu s dalšími kočičími kamarády strádala venku, než u nás našla bezpečí. Dorka dělá pokroky, ale potřebuje čas. Na doteky je stále opatrná – ruky se bojí a raději uteče. Ale když přijde noc, tiše si lehne k nohám svého člověka. A když už se nechá pohladit, krásně si to užívá, vrní, ťapinkuje a nastavuje se. Každý nečekaný zvuk ji však může znovu vyplašit. Proto hledáme domov, kde dostane čas, trpělivost a prostor na postupné sbližování. Dorka hledá: Klidný domov pouze uvnitř – bez přístupu ven. Trpělivého člověka – potřebuje někoho, kdo jí dá čas a nebude na ni tlačit. Kočičí kamarády vítá – má ráda jiné kočky, a tak by uvítala i společnost dalšího chlupáče. Je čistotná a krásně papá – o svou misku se vždy postará. Součástí adopce je podepsání adopční smlouvy a adopční příspěvek 2000 Kč.

About Dorka

What life with Dorka looks like

Dorka is a adult cat waiting at Fousky z.s. 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 Dorka, answered.

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