Adopt MIKIJA

Mixed Breed · Male

Mikiju, as the winter started, we literally lifted her off the street in Kengaraga, where she had spent her days on a bare sidewalk, between cars - at least a year, if not longer. The sweet little kitten would run towards any friendlier person and ask for a bit of food, until she was finally noticed and heard the magic words - there's nothing to look for for such a lovely cat on the street.

Mikiju, ziemai sākoties, burtiski nocēlām no ielas Ķengaragā, kur viņa bija pavadījusi savas dienas uz plika trotuāra, starp mašīnām- cik zināms, vismaz gadu, ja ne ilgāk. Mīlīgā kaķenīte skrēja pretī jebkuram draudzīgākam cilvēkam un lūdza kādu drusciņu ēdiena, līdz viņa tika pa īstam pamanīta un izdzirdēja maģiskus vārdus- ka tik mīlīgam kaķim uz ielas nav, ko meklēt.

About MIKIJA

What life with MIKIJA looks like

MIKIJA is a adult mixed breed cat waiting at Minka.lv – Katram Kaķim Savas Mājas in Latvia.

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 MIKIJA, answered.

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