Nostra

Domestic Shorthair · Unknown

The beautiful Triskra, Nostra, most likely will lead her life at the shelter. In March of 2021, people brought her to the shelter saying she had approached a house on Sesku Street in Riga (not specifying further) and was approachable. We still can't touch the beautiful fur of Nostra without being bitten. But if someone really looks into Nostra and is willing to try to socialize her, or doesn't mind that there's a cat at home who does all the mink's duties, but just doesn't want to cuddle with the owner, please come and meet Nostra in person!

Trīskrāsu skaistule Nostra, visticamāk, savu dzīvi tā arī vadīs patversmē. 2021. gada martā ļaudis viņu patversmē nodeva ar vārdiem: pieklīdusi pie mājas Sesku ielā Rīgā (tālāko gan neprecizējot) un esot paijājama. Joprojām patversmē minces skaistajam kažokam pirkstu nevaram piedurt, lai mūs nesapļaukātu. Bet, ja nu kāds tik ļoti ieskatās Nostrā un ir gatavs censties viņu socializēt vai neiebilst, ka mājās ir kaķis, kas pilda visus minkāna pienākumus, vien ar saimnieku nevēlas mīļoties – lūgtum ar Nostru iepazīties klātienē!

About Nostra

What life with Nostra looks like

Nostra is an adult domestic shorthair 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 Nostra, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nostra?: 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 Nostra on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nostra 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nostra 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 Nostra 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 Nostra 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.
