Dūcis

Male · Kitten

Approximate age: 5 months (05.2026). MCH - 900263008169822; - Mixed breed; country of origin - Latvia. Health status - no health issues observed. Additional information: short-haired, vaccinated. The approximately five-month-old Dūcis is a classic black-and-white kitten, with a black coat and a white collar, and that special "I'm just checking who you all are" cat look. Dūcis is insecure and timid. He has not gained the sense of security that a kitten should have at the beginning of its life, and now in the shelter he is slowly learning to trust humans. Therefore, Dūcis needs a patient, calm, and caring owner who understands that sometimes a small cat needs not more attention, but more time. Trust will not happen on command "let's make friends now!". Dūcis is not currently recommended for families with young children. He needs a quiet home and a person who is aware that caring for this little life will be a responsibility for many years. Maybe you have the patience that Dūcis is currently looking for?

Vecums (aptuvenais): 5 mēneši (05.2026.). MČ - 900263008169822; ). Bezšķirnes; izcelsmes valsts - Latvija. Veselības stāvoklis - veselības problēmas nav novērotas. Cita informācija: īsspalvains, vakcinēts. Apmēram piecus mēnešus jaunais Dūcis ir klasisks melnbaltais kaķēns, melns kažociņš, balta apkaklīte un tas īpašais “es te tikai paskatīšos, kas jūs visi tādi esat” kaķa skatiens. Dūcis ir nedrošs un tramīgs. Viņš dzīves sākumā nav ieguvis to drošības sajūtu, kas kaķēnam pienāktos, un tagad patversmē pamazām mācās uzticēties cilvēkam. Tāpēc Dūcim vajadzīgs pacietīgs, mierīgs un gādīgs saimnieks, kurš sapratīs, ka mazam kaķim reizēm nepieciešams nevis vairāk uzmanības, bet vairāk laika. Uzticība nenotiks pēc komandas “tagad draudzējamies!”. Dūcis šobrīd nav ieteicams ģimenēm ar maziem bērniem. Viņam nepieciešamas mierīgas mājas un cilvēks, kurš apzinās, ka rūpes par šo mazo dzīvību būs atbildība daudzu gadu garumā. Varbūt tieši Tev ir pacietība, ko Dūcis šobrīd meklē?

About Dūcis

What life with Dūcis looks like

Dūcis 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 Dūcis, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dūcis?
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 Dūcis on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dūcis 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 Dūcis 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 Dūcis 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 Dūcis 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.
