Patriks

Male · Young · 2 years

In April, the Food and Veterinary Service confiscated 27 cats from an apartment in Riga that had been living in their own waste for a long time. The animals belonged to a breeder who was once officially registered and seemingly responsible, but something had changed over the years - the living conditions provided for the animals had become catastrophic, and their number had become abnormal. Dead animals were also found in the apartment - dogs, decorative birds... British breed cat Patrick is dark brown. Although he looks visually like a badger, he is actually a true sweetheart - kind, gentle and playful. If a person does not have time to play with him, Patrick will also quietly chase a toy mouse by himself. The cat will be a great best friend and companion.

Aprīlī no kāda dzīvokļa Rīgā Pārtikas un veterinārais dienests konfiscēja 27 kaķus, kuri ilgstoši bija dzīvojuši paši savos mēslos. Dzīvnieki piederēja kādai savulaik oficiāli reģistrētai un it kā atbildīgai audzētājai, taču pēdējos gados kaut kas bija mainījies – dzīvniekiem nodrošinātie dzīves apstākļi bija kļuvuši katastrofāli, turklāt to skaits kļuvis anormāls. Dzīvoklī tika atrasti arī miruši kustoņi – suņi, dekoratīvie putni… Britu šķirnes runcītis Patriks ir tumši brūnā krāsā. Lai gan vizuāli viņš izskatās pūcīgs, patiesībā ir īstens mīļkaķis – labsirdīgs, maigs un rotaļīgs. Ja cilvēkam nebūs laika ar viņu spēlēties, Patriks labprāt arī pats klusi padzenās spēļu pelīti. Runcis būs lielisks labākais draugs un kompanjons.

About Patriks

What life with Patriks looks like

Patriks is a young adult 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 Patriks, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Patriks?
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 Patriks on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Patriks 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Patriks 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 Patriks 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 Patriks 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.
