Adopt Filip

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

We took in Tomcat Filipa from his owners, who no longer wanted him due to his health. Unfortunately, Filip is epileptic and must take pills twice a day. The tomcat is very beautiful and once he gets used to the change, he is also very affectionate. In a new home, he can be alone. Due to epilepsy, he can only be in an apartment. April 11, 2018 – Filip moved into the house with other cats after the mandatory quarantine. He is kind and likes to show affection. Unfortunately, he is also submissive and is very afraid of other cats. In a new home, he will prefer to be without other animals. In December 2019, Filip found a new home. Unfortunately, the new owner could not reconcile work with regular medication and had to return Filipa after a month. The first few days, the tomcat was quite upset and the change of environment from a cat-free household to our cat household did not suit him at all. So we hope he will get used to it soon and everything will be fine. February 24, 2020 – Filip is already fine and everything is okay. He shows affection and even started eating with others. Which he never did before. Jojo, love goes through the stomach. August 4, 2021 – Filip has recently had problems with his teeth and so today he underwent tooth extraction and removal of growths in the caudal arches and gums. Blood was taken and the growths sent for histology. We hope everything will be okay. Blood test for Filip August 3, 2021 Detailed blood examination for Filip August 3, 2021 August 19, 2021 – Filípka probably has wounds from the extracted teeth. His right face and eye are swollen. The tomcat does not want to eat or drink and spends most of the day in the bed and sleeps. Blood tests and check-up at the vet showed nothing, so it is probably some hidden abscess in the face. Fíla was given antibiotics for 14 days, an eye ointment, and now we hope the antibiotics will take effect and the tomcat will be okay again. August 20, 2021 – Third eyelid significantly swollen, the eye is not visible. The vet examined Fílu and added antibiotics. Hopefully, it will be okay. Blood test for Filip August 19, 2021 Medical report for Filip August 20, 2021 August 22, 2021 – Swelling of the face has subsided, but the third eyelid is over the entire eye and significantly swollen. Filip is already drinking. August 26, 2021 – The third eyelid is back to normal and the eye is visible and undamaged. Fíla still has a swollen conjunctiva, but hopefully, it will be okay soon. October 14, 2021 Histology for Filip March 20, 2023 – Fíla is still fine and we hope he will stay here for a long time. He is kind, affectionate and loves being held. He enjoys it fully. February 19, 2024 – Filip underwent a control blood test and all values were within normal range. We are happy that even at his age, he is still fine. April 22, 2025 – Fíla is holding up well and is still fine. Although we are currently experiencing a shortage of epilepsy medication, fortunately, substitute tablets are available for the tomcat, so he is taken care of. Otherwise, he is fine and is enjoying the spring days safely by the window. April 12, 2026 – Fíla has started losing weight, so he underwent a control blood test. It turned out he has a problem with his thyroid, so he was added Euthyrox to his epilepsy medication. Hopefully, he will be okay and stay with us for a few more years. When you choose a cat from us, we ask you for a donation for veterinary care, this donation is used to pay for veterinary expenses. We are a small non-profit organization, all expenses related to cat care (veterinary, food, litter, medication, transportation) are covered from our salaries, from the profit of the charity shop, and donations. The costs of cat care are not negligible; a once vaccinated kitten costs about 1200 CZK (vaccination, chip, FIV/FELV tests, flea treatment and deworming), a twice vaccinated kitten already 1600 CZK and for a spayed and

Kocoura Filipa jsme přijali od majitelů, kteří ho už kvůli jeho zdraví nechtěli. Bohužel Filip je epileptik a musí brát 2x denně prášky. Kocour je moc krásný a jakmile si zvykne na změnu, je i velmi mazlivý. V novém domově může být i sám. Vzhledem k epilepsii, může být pouze v bytě. 11.4.2018 – Filip se po povinné karanténě přestěhoval mezi ostatní kočky do domu. Je hodný a rád se mazlí. Bohužel je také submisivní a ostatních koček se dost bojí. V novém domově bude raději bez dalších zvířat. V prosinci 2019 našel Filip nový domov. Bohužel nová majitelka nedokázala skloubit zaměstnání s pravidelným podáváním léků a Filipa musela po měsíci vrátit. První dny byl kocourek dost naštvaný a změna prostředí z bezkočičí domácnosti na naší kočičí se mu vůbec nelíbila. Tak doufáme, že si brzy zvykne a vše bude v pořádku. 24.2.2020 – Filip už je v pohodě a vše je v pořádku. Mazlí se a dokonce už začal jíst s ostatními. Což nikdy nedělal. Jojo, láska prochází žaludkem. 4.8.2021 – Filip měl poslední dobou problém se zuby a tak dnes podstoupil trhání zubů a odstranění výrůstků v kaudálních obloucích a dásních. Byla mu odebrána krev a výrůstky odeslány na histologii. Tak doufáme, že bude vše v pořádku. Vyšetření krve Filip 3. 8. 2021 Podrobné vyšetření krve Filip 3. 8. 2021 19.8.2021 – Filípka pravděpodobně zlobí rány po vytržených zubech. Otekla mu pravá tvář a oko. Kocourek nechce jíst ani pít a po většinu dne je v pelíšku a spí. Krevní testy a kontrola na veterině nic neukázaly, takže se pravděpodobně jedná o nějaký skrytý absces ve tváři. Fíla dostal atb na 14 dní, mastičku na oči a my teď doufáme, že atb rychle zaberou a kocourek bude opět v pořádku. 20.8.2021 – Třetí víčko výrazně oteklé, oko není viditelné. Veterinář Fílu prohlédl, přidal atb. Tak snad bude v pořádku. Vyšetření krve Filip 19. 8. 2021 Lékařská zpráva Filip 20. 8. 2021 22.8.2021 – Otok tváře ustoupil, ale třetí víčko je přes celé oko a výrazně oteklé. Filip už jí i pije. 26.8.2021 – Třetí víčko je opět v pořádku a oko je viditelné a bez poškození. Ještě Fílu trápí oteklá spojivka, ale snad už bude v pořádku. 14.10.2021 Histologie Filip 20.3.2023 – Fíla je stále v pohodě a my doufáme, že tady bude ještě dlouho. Je hodný, mazlivý a miluje nošení v náručí. To si naplno užívá. 19.2.2024 – Filip podstoupil kontrolní krevní testy a všechny hodnoty vyšly v pořádku. Máme radost, že i v jeho věku je stále v pohodě. 22.4.2025 – Fíla se zdatně drží a zatím je v pohodě. Sice nás momentálně trápí nedostatek léků na epilepsii, ale náhradní tobolky naštěstí kocourek baští, takže je o něj postaráno. Jinak je v pořádku a užívá si jarní dny v bezpečí za oknem. 12.4.2026 – Fíla začal hubnout, tak podstoupil kontrolní krevní testy. Ukázalo se, že má problém se štítnou žlázou, tak k lékům na epilepsii přibral ještě Euthyrox. Snad bude v pořádku a ještě pár let tady s námi zůstane. Když si u nás vyberete kočku, požádáme vás o dar na veterinární péči, tento dar je využit na zaplacení veterinárních výdajů. Jsme malá nezisková organizace, veškeré výdaje spojené s péčí o kočky (veterina, krmivo, stelivo, léky, doprava) hradíme ze svých výplat, ze zisku charitativního krámku a darů. Náklady na péči o kočky nejsou zanedbatelné, jednou očkované kotě vyjde po veterinární stránce cca na 1200 Kč (vakcinace, čip, testy FIV/FELV, odblešení a odčervení), dvakrát očkované kotě už 1600 Kč a v případě kastrované a dvakrát očkované kočky se dostáváme k částce přes 2000 Kč. Při adopci kotěte zaplatíte příspěvek ve výši alespoň 800 Kč, u kastrované kočky 1000 Kč. Pokud nový majitel může a chce přispět více, nebo kočkám přinést něco na zub, hračku či stelivo, budeme rádi :) Při převzetí kočky dostanete i její očkovací průkaz a pokud je kočka čipovaná, tak i registrační kartu k čipu. Zaplacený dar na veterinární péči se dá odečíst z daní, potvrzení vám rádi vystavíme.

About Filip

What life with Filip looks like

Filip is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Devět životů 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 Filip, answered.

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