Mārtiņš

Mixed Breed · Male

Victor and Martin come from a remote farmhouse in the Aizkraukle area. The house is far away from civilization and the two tomcats live with more than 20 minks at an old couple's home. Of course, none of the cats have been spayed or neutered, and they also have food to eat occasionally. Four female kittens were also taken in from this place. The elderly are helped with cat sterilization, finding new homes for the mink, and feeding the kittens, which is done by the "Animal SOS" association. Victor and Martin came to the shelter with a parasite infestation and dehydration. They have been castrated (Martin was cryptorchid, so the kitten had to wear a post-operative vest for a few days).

Viktors un Mārtiņš nāk no kādas nomaļas lauku mājas Aizkraukles pusē. Mājiņa atrodas tālu prom no civilizācijas un runči kopā ar vēl vairāk kā 20 minkām mitinās pie veciem sirmjgalvjiem. Protams, neviens kaķis nav sterilizēts un arī vēderiņos ir ko likt pa retam. No šīs vietas patversmē tika uzņemtas arī 4 kaķmeitiņas. Sirmjgalvjiem tiek palīdzēts gan ar kaķu sterilizāciju, gan jaunu māju meklējumiem minkām, gan barības piegādi kaķukiem, par ko rūpi uzņēmusies biedrība “Dzīvnieku SOS”. Mārtiņš un Viktors patversmē tika uzņemti ar parazītu invāziju, dehidratēti. Ir veikta kastrācija.(Mārtiņš bija kriptorhs, tāpēc kaķītim kādas dienas ir jānēsā pēcoperācijas vestīte). Runcis ir arī vakcinēts, apzīmēts ar mikročipu un saņēmis pretparazitāro apstrādi.

About Mārtiņš

What life with Mārtiņš looks like

Mārtiņš is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dzīvnieku Draugu Fonds.

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 Mārtiņš, answered.

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