Adopt Karī

Female · Adult · 6 years

In early November of last year, 22 cats were confiscated by PVD in an apartment in Riga. The animals lived in unsanitary conditions, reproduced uncontrollably, and most were sick. Only now have we finally gathered all the cats: treated or at least stabilized their health conditions. All 22 are alive, and some are already in new families. The blue-gray beauty Karī is quiet and shy. She once contracted one of the cat respiratory viruses, which left lasting effects on her vision – we had to remove one eye because there was only pus and damaged tissue under the eyelid. The exact age of the kitten is hard to determine. The passport states seven years old, but she might be a couple of years younger, as the illness can significantly affect dental condition. The most likely age could be between 5 to 8 years; it's possible she is Aurelia's sister. What kind of owners are we looking for? Only people with experience in raising cats – patient and willing to invest time in socialization. It's possible that once in a home environment, the kitten will quickly blossom into confidence, but at the shelter, she still positions herself more as a timid creature and hasn't fully opened up yet.

Pagājušā gada novembra sākumā kādā Rīgas dzīvoklī PVD konfiscēja 22 kaķus. Dzīvnieki mita netīrībā, nekontrolēti vairojās, un lielākā daļa bija slimi. Tikai tagad visus kaķus beidzot esam sakopuši: slimos izārstējuši vai vismaz stabilizējuši viņu veselības stāvokli. Visi 22 ir dzīvi, un daļa jau ir jaunās ģimenēs. Zilpelēkā skaistule Karī ir klusa un bikla mince. Savulaik viņa pārslimojusi kādu no kaķu respiratorajiem vīrusiem, kas atstājis sekas uz redzi – mums nācās izņemt vienu aci, jo aiz plakstiņa bija vien strutu un bojātu audu perēklis. Kaķenītes precīzais vecums ir grūti nosakāms. Pasē ierakstīti septiņi gadi, bet iespējams, ka viņa ir pāris gadus jaunāka, jo slimība mēdz būtiski ietekmēt zobu stāvokli. Ticamākais vecums varētu būt no 5 līdz 8 gadiem; iespējams, viņa ir Aurēlija māsa. Kādus saimniekus kaķenītei meklējam? Tikai cilvēkus ar pieredzi kaķu audzināšanā – pacietīgus un gatavus ieguldīt laiku socializēšanā. Iespējams, nonākot mājas vidē, mince diezgan ātri atplauks paļāvībā, bet patversmē viņa pagaidām vēl vairāk sevi pozicionē kā bailulīti un līdz galam nav atvērusies.

About Karī

What life with Karī looks like

Karī is a adult cat waiting at Labās Mājas in Riga.

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 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 Karī, answered.

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