Hugo

Male · Young · 1 year

Tomcat, who belongs to our dear Zoj, is finally with us. He was given the name Hugo. The capture was very challenging, and unfortunately not because of Hug himself. The situation was significantly complicated by people who, despite repeated requests, tried to interfere with the capture by constantly feeding him. Mrs. Jitka, who captured Hug, left notes on the spot explaining and asking not to feed him. Nevertheless, piles of food appeared near the cage and Hugo had no reason to enter the capture cage. On one of the photos you can see what Hug's "home" was like. The street. Cold, uncertainty, no safety. And yet there were people who were willing to sabotage the entire capture, without offering him a real home themselves. Finally, everything worked out. At the moment when Hugo was safely captured, a huge stone fell from everyone's heart, who primarily thought about his well-being. A big and sincere thanks goes to the citizens of Tlučná, who kept watch over Hug's movements and helped prevent further inappropriate feeding. We also thank Mr. Mayor Mgr. Jan Oplov, who helped us create the conditions for Hugo to get to safety. Hugo is currently very scared, which is completely understandable after everything he has been through. But we believe that soon he will recover and start discovering things he did not know before. Warmth, calm, safety, a full bowl and human caresses. Hugo is very attached to the cat Zona, so they are looking for a common home, without access outside. If you would like to support Hug on his new journey, you can do so by making a contribution to our shelter account 2801001352 / 2010, variable symbol 1251. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Kocourkův odchyt byl velmi náročný, a bohužel ne kvůli Hugovi samotnému. Situaci výrazně komplikovali lidé, kteří se i přes opakované prosby snažili odchyt překazit neustálým krmením. Paní Jitka, která Huga odchytávala, na místě zanechala cedulky s vysvětlením a prosbou, aby nebyl krmen. Přesto se u klece objevovaly hromady jídla a Hugo tak neměl důvod do odchytové klece vstoupit. Na jedné z fotografií můžete vidět, jaký byl Hugův „domov“. Ulice. Chlad, nejistota, žádné bezpečí. A přesto se našli lidé, kteří byli ochotni celý odchyt překazit, aniž by mu sami nabídli skutečný domov. Nakonec se ale vše podařilo. Ve chvíli, kdy byl Hugo bezpečně odchycen, spadl všem, kdo mysleli především na jeho dobro, obrovský kámen ze srdce Velké a upřímné poděkování patří občanům Tlučná, kteří u Hugova pohybu drželi hlídky a pomáhali zabránit dalšímu nevhodnému krmení. Stejně tak děkujeme panu starostovi Mgr. Jan Oplovi, který nám pomohl vytvořit podmínky k tomu, aby se Hugo mohl dostat do bezpečí. Hugo je zatím velmi vyděšený, což je po všem, co má za sebou, naprosto pochopitelné. Věříme ale, že brzičko pookřeje a začne objevovat věci, které dosud neznal. Teplo, klid, bezpečí, plnou mističku a lidské pohlazení. Hugo si pomalu zvyká na lidskou společnost. Když má chuť, nechá se pohladit, ale zatím dotek nevyhledává. Hledá domov bez přístupu ven a s hodným kočičím kamarádem. Kočičku mít doma musí, moc je miluje. Pokud byste chtěli Huga podpořit na jeho nové cestě, můžete tak učinit příspěvkem na náš útulkový účet 2801001352 / 2010, variabilní symbol 1251. Z celého srdce děkujeme.

About Hugo

What life with Hugo looks like

Hugo is a young 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 Hugo, answered.

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