Lupínek

Mixed Breed · Male

No one treated them as living beings, unique personalities. No one cared about them. To their owners, they were just money-making machines… But then everything changed. The breeding facility closed down and Lupínek moved to us. For the first time in his life, someone cared about him. For the first time, he got a name. For the first time, someone truly loved him. He was scared, but also full of hope. He hoped that everything bad was left behind in the walls of the breeding facility. But then his health issues began to surface… In just six months, his teeth were in a catastrophic state. He barely ate and was plagued by cavities. His gums had an unusual shape. And he clearly went through several episodes of hypoglycemia. Lupínek is still a small puppy, but he has already endured more than many other animals in their entire lives… At first, he underwent several examinations, including cardiology and X-rays of his entire body. The good news was that his heart was healthy and, while his glands had an atypical shape, they were functioning correctly according to blood test results. Lupin’s condition unfortunately became so complicated that he ended up in the hospital for a few days. He had a blood clot, was vomiting, and barely ate… It was clear that he was really not feeling well. Fortunately, his condition improved relatively quickly during the hospitalization. According to Dr. Lupínek, it was likely due to some nasty infection. The surgery was initially postponed twice because the doctor’s heart didn’t like his heart on the X-rays, and the second term was again disrupted by an infection and hospitalization. But everything finally worked out in the end, and Lupínek could safely undergo the surgery.

Nikdo je nebral jako živé bytosti, jedinečné osobnosti. Nikomu na nich nezáleželo. Pro majitele byli jen stroje na peníze… Pak se ale všechno změnilo. Množírna se zavřela a Lupínek se přesunul k nám. Poprvé ve svém životě na něm někomu záleželo. Poprvé dostal jméno. Poprvé ho někdo skutečně miloval. Byl vyplašený, ale taky plný naděje. Doufal, že všechno špatné nechal za zdmi množírny. Jenže pak se začaly projevovat jeho zdravotní potíže… Už v šesti měsících měl zuby v katastrofálním stavu. Málo jedl a trápily ho průjmy. Nesestoupila mu varlata. Ledviny měly nezvyklý tvar. A navíc zjevně prodělal několik epizod hypoglykémie. Lupínek je ještě malé štěně, ale už teď si vytrpěl víc, než mnoho jiných zvířat za celý život… Pro začátek brouček podstoupil několik vyšetření, včetně kardiologie a rentgenů prakticky celého těla. Dobré zprávy byly, že srdíčko je zdravé a ledviny mají sice atypický tvar, ale podle krevních výsledků fungují správně. Lupínkův stav se bohužel zkomplikoval natolik, že nakonec skončil na několik dnů na hospitalizaci. Měl krvavý průjem, zvracel, málo jedl… Bylo mu viditelně opravdu špatně. Na hospitalizaci se naštěstí celkem rychle zlepšil. Podle pana doktora byla nejspíš na vině nějaká ošklivá infekce. Zákrok se nejprve dvakrát odložil, protože poprvé se paní doktorce na rentgenech nelíbilo srdce a druhý termín zase narušila infekce a hospitalizace. Do třetice všeho dobrého to ale konečně vyšlo a Lupínek mohl bezpečně podstoupit zákrok.

About Lupínek

What life with Lupínek looks like

Lupínek is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Handipet Rescue Hoření Vinice 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 Lupínek, answered.

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