Kuro

Male · Young · 2 years

A striped cat, along with four other cats, lived on a farm owned by an uncle where the only food they received was white bread. As a result, the adult cats looked like teenagers with bloated bellies. It took several months to stabilize their health. Kuro, by nature gentle, is also a bit shy or - not fully socialized. He will be afraid of sudden movements, but if you spend more time with him, he will gladly let himself be stroked and even play. Adoptable for people with experience in raising cats and patience to encourage Kuro to his new life. He will make a great cat - a good friend and companion. Not suitable for families with young children.

Strīpainītis kopā ar vēl četriem kaķiem dzīvoja pie kāda onkuļa laukos, kur vienīgais, no kā minči pārtika, bija baltmaize. Rezultātā pieaugušie kaķi izskatījās pēc tādiem kā pusaudzīšiem ar uzpūstiem vēderiem. Pagāja vairāki mēneši, līdz stabilizējām kaķu veselību. Kuro, pēc savas būtības esot maigs, vienlaikus ir arī mazliet bikls jeb – ne līdz galam socializēts. No straujākām kustībām viņš bīsies, tai pat laikā, ja ilgāk ar runčuku pakomunicē, viņš labprāt ļausies glāstiem un pat spēlēm. Adoptējams ļaudīm ar pieredzi kaķu audzināšanā un pacietību iedrošināt Kuro jaunajai dzīvei. Būs foršs runcis – labs draugs un kompanjons. Nebūs piemērots ģimenei ar maziem bērniem.

About Kuro

What life with Kuro looks like

Kuro is a young 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 Kuro, answered.

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