How do I contact the shelter about Mija?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Jēkabpils Dzīvnieku Patversme handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mija on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Mija if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Jēkabpils Dzīvnieku Patversme 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 Mija 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 Mija 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 Jēkabpils Dzīvnieku Patversme early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mija 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.

Mija

Female · Adult · 5 years

Mija: age (approximate): 5 years (02.2021). ID - 900263006282607; . Mixed breed; country of origin - Latvia. Health status - no health problems observed. Other information: short-haired, vaccinated, spayed 5-year-old kitten with a beautiful tortoiseshell coat and a very sensitive heart. Hard times have affected both Mija and her owner - due to health reasons the owner had to move to a nursing home, and Mija's familiar, safe world collapsed in an instant. That is how she came to us. Although we have taken care of Mija - always available food, water, warm bed and a little treat - sadness was stronger. For some time she even refused food and didn't leave her corner. It was a quiet protest against changes and loss. Gradually, Mija's survival instincts took over - she started eating again, carefully observing her surroundings and showing interest in what was happening. However, even now Mija chooses to keep distance and does not rush to trust. Mija needs a understanding person - someone who realizes that moving into a new home will not be easy for her. A person who is willing to invest time, be patient and let Mija slowly believe that it is possible to start over after a loss. If there is a place in your heart for a calm, fragile soul, Mija is waiting for the opportunity to experience a safe and loving life again. ✅ For more information about the resident and adoption reservation contact ☎️28342253, weekdays ; weekends.

Mija: vecums (aptuvenais): 5 gadi (02.2021.). MČ - 900263006282607; ). Bezšķirnes; izcelsmes valsts - Latvija. Veselības stāvoklis - veselības problēmas nav novērotas. Cita informācija: īsspalvaina, vakcinēta, sterilizēta 5 gadus jauna kaķenīte ar skaistu bruņurupuču krāsas kažociņu un ļoti jūtīgu sirdi. Nedienas piemeklēja gan Miju, gan viņas saimnieci – veselības dēļ saimniecei bija jāpārcēlas uz pansionātu, un Mijas ierastā, drošā pasaule vienā mirklī sabruka. Tā viņa nonāca pie mums. Lai arī par Miju rūpējāmies – vienmēr pieejams ēdiens, ūdens, silta guļvieta un kāds gardumiņš –, skumjas bija stiprākas. Kādu laiku viņa pat atteicās no barības un neizgāja no sava kaktiņa. Tas bija kluss protests pret pārmaiņām un zaudējumu. Pamazām Mijas izdzīvošanas instinkti ņēma virsroku – viņa atsāka ēst, uzmanīgi vērot apkārtni un izrādīt interesi par notiekošo. Tomēr arī tagad Mija izvēlas ieturēt distanci un nesteidzas uzticēties. Mijai ļoti vajadzīgs saprotošs cilvēks – tāds, kurš apzinās, ka iejušanās jaunās mājās viņai nebūs viegla. Cilvēks, kurš būs gatavs ieguldīt laiku, būt pacietīgs un ļaut Mijai soli pa solim noticēt, ka arī pēc zaudējuma iespējams sākt no jauna. Ja tavā sirdī ir vieta mierīgai, trauslai dvēselei, Mija gaida iespēju piedzīvot drošu un mīlošu dzīvi vēlreiz. ✅Sīkākai informācijai par iemītnieku un adopcijas rezervācijai sazinies ☎️28342253, darba dienās ; brīvdienās .
